Advanced Scenarios
Complex Tariff Rules
Scenario: Mixed Calculation Bases
When a shipping fee has multiple tariff lines with different calculation bases:
-
System Evaluation Process:
- Calculates fee for each applicable line
- Compares total costs
- If multiple lines exist for the same Type and No. but different Calculation Basis, the system applies the cheapest.
-
Example Configuration:
- Line 1: Weight-based, €5 per kg
- Line 2: Amount-based, 2% of total
- Line 3: Fixed fee, €25
- System selects lowest calculated amount
Scenario: Minimum Quantity with Multiple Items
When summing values across Sales Lines, the system verifies Minimum Quantity.
Example Process:
- Configuration: Minimum Weight = 10 kg
- Document has 3 items: 3kg, 4kg, 5kg
- Total weight = 12kg (exceeds minimum)
- Fee applies to entire order
Using Calculation Basis, Minimum Quantities, and Assignment Methods
Weight-Based Calculation:
- Sums gross weight across all lines
- Applies per-kg pricing
- Useful for freight carriers
Volume-Based Calculation:
- Requires item volume configuration
- Calculates cubic measurements
- Ideal for space-dependent shipping
Amount-Based Calculation:
- Percentage of order value
- Excludes VAT by default
- Common for insurance fees
Assignment Method Impact (Item Charges):
- Equally: Divides charge by line count
- By Amount: Proportional to line values
- By Weight/Volume: Based on physical attributes
Excluding Fees from Invoice Discounts

- Cannot mix currencies in single fee
- Exchange rates apply automatically
Multi-Currency Scenarios:
