Defining Quantity Ranges

Freight rates can be defined for any range of product quantities, and no limit exists to the number of quantity ranges and rates that can be defined. When defining a rate's quantity range, only the minimum quantity of the range is entered in the Total Quantity Range field. The maximum quantity of the range is not entered; it is calculated upon completing and saving the table.

When defining a quantity range's minimum quantity, the minimum quantity must be greater than 0.00, such as 0.01; 0.00 cannot be the beginning range. In addition, if your beginning range's minimum quantity is 5.00 for example, then freight will not be calculated for any orders for quantities of less than 5.00.

Each range's maximum quantity is determined by each succeeding range's minimum quantity; a range's maximum quantity equals the minimum quantity of the succeeding range minus .01. Thus, defining a single value range is a three step process:

  1. Enter the minimum quantity in the Total Quantity Range field. (Minimum quantities must be greater than 0.00; 0.00 cannot be the beginning range.)
  2. Enter the Rate for the product quantity range.
  3. Enter the minimum quantity of the succeeding range in the Total Quantity Range field.

For example, say you need to define rates for the following three product quantity ranges:

To set up value ranges for the required rates, you would do the following:

  1. Define the first quantity range:
    1. Enter 0.01 in the Total Quantity Range field for the first range's minimum quantity.
    2. Enter 7.50 for the Rate of the first range.
    3. Press Tab.
  2. Define the second quantity range:
    1. Enter 5.00 in the Total Quantity Range field for the second range's minimum quantity. By entering 5.00 for the second range's minimum quantity, the first range's maximum quantity will equal 4.99 when the entire table is completed and saved.
    2. Enter 10.00 for the Rate of the second range.
    3. Press Tab.
  3. Define the third quantity range:
    1. Enter 10.00 in the Total Quantity Range field for the third range's minimum quantity. By entering 10.00 for the third range's minimum quantity, the second range's maximum quantity will equal 9.99 when the entire table is completed and saved.
    2. Enter 20.00 for the Rate of the third range.
  4. Click Save.

    The Total Quantity Range field will populate with the maximum quantity for each range.
