Set up Baggage Costing

Baggage Costing must be set up with Job Types and Cost Options to determine the price charged for consignments.

Pre-costing of consignments is performed easily using Job Types. They can be used to add a standard set of Cost Options to a consignment based on the type and size of the inventory. Extra costs can be added with miscellaneous job types.

Note: If a consignment is shipped by air, the rate is based on the air chargeable weight (ACW), which is measured in kilograms.


How to Set up Job Types for Baggage:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Moveware Setup > Job Types. The Job Types window is displayed.
  2. Navigate to the Diary tab. Review the Diary Actions to ensure only actions relevant to Job Types are included.
  3. Navigate to the Costing tab. Double click on the relevant Cost Elements (Supplier Products) to select them and create the base cost for a Job Type. The Profit Margin and Option Total should also be entered.

How to Set up Rates:

  1. Navigate to Administration > Moveware Setup > Rates Management. The Rates Management window is displayed.  Alternatively, navigate to Suppliers > Supplier Admin > Supplier Products and then to the Cost Rates tab.
  2. Set the rate values for the volume, weight and destination.
  3. Click Save and then Exit.
