Charge Tables Workspace

Use this workspace to create and maintain charge tables.

Maconomy uses charge tables to calculate charges based on the information on the sales order, such as weight, volume, or delivery address, instead of just entering a fixed charge on the order.

A charge table consists of a number of lines, each of which contains selection criteria, a calculation basis, and a rate for calculating the charge amount. In the selection criteria on a line, you can enter ranges of zip codes, weight, or volume, and so forth, and combinations of delivery mode, carrier, and country, and so on. Maconomy only takes a line into account when calculating a charge if the information on the current sales order matches all of the selection criteria on the line. The calculation basis and the rate on a line indicate how to calculate the charge amount if the current line is used. The calculation basis specifies the factor by which Maconomy should calculate the charge, for example, if the charge should be a percentage of the total price of the sales order or an amount that depends on the total weight of the items. The rate can be either a fixed rate or a percentage used when converting the calculation basis to an amount. For instance, the rate could be 50 cents per unit. If multiple lines in the charge table match the information on the current sales order, Maconomy uses the line that yields the lowest price.

You assign charge tables to charge codes in the Charges workspace, in which you can specify to use a fixed charge table for calculating the charge, or to use the charge table specified in the card part of the sales order. In this way, the charge codes that are specified on the individual order determine the charge tables to be used.

You must enter all of the amounts in this workspace in enterprise currency. When you transfer a charge to a quote or an order, Maconomy converts the amount into the currency assigned to the current quote or order.
