Defining Value Ranges

Freight rates can be defined for any range of order values, and no limit exists to the number of value ranges and rates that can be defined. When defining a rate's value range, only the low value of the range is entered in the Total Value Range field. The high value of the range is not entered; it is calculated upon completing and saving the table.

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

Each range's high value is determined by each succeeding range's low value; a range's high value equals the low value of the succeeding range minus .01.

To define a single value range

  1. Enter the low value in the Total Value Range field. (Low values must be greater than $0.00; $0.00 cannot be the beginning range.)
  2. Enter the Rate for the order value range.
  3. Enter the low value of the succeeding range in the Total Value Range field.

For example, say you need to define rates for the following three order value ranges:

To set up value ranges for required rates

  1. Define the first value range:
    1. Enter 0.01 in the Total Value Range field for the first range's low value.
    2. Enter 2.50 for the Rate of the first range.
    3. Press Tab.
  2. Define the second value range:
    1. Enter 10.00 in the Total Value Range field for the second range's low value. By entering 10 for the second range's low value, the first range's high value will equal 9.99 when the entire table is completed and saved.
    2. Enter 5.00 for the Rate of the second range.
    3. Press Tab.
  3. Define the third value range:
    1. Enter 25.00 in the Total Value Range field for the third range's low value. By entering 25.00 for the third range's low value, the second range's high value will equal 24.99 when the entire table is completed and saved.
    2. Enter 7.50 for the Rate of the third range.
  4. Click Save.

    The Total Value Range field will calculate and display the low and high values for each range.

Example of rates defined for three value ranges (before and after being saved)
