Supplier Delivery Rate Tab

For the Other Action Menu options (press F9 or

This screen allows users to configure delivery rates against individual suppliers. Any supplier delivery rates setup here will supersede any setup in the [ General Area ] - Del Chg field within the [ Supplier | Detail | General ] tab.

Min Value: this is the minimum gross order value for the price rate to apply. This is an EQUAL TO OR GREATER THAN (=>) field.
Max Value: this is the maximum gross order value for the price rate to apply. This is an LESS THAN ONLY (<) field.
Min Weight: this is the minimum weight of the total stock items in the order for the price rate to apply, therefore the correct weights need to be set up against all stock items.
Max Weight: this is the maximum weight of the total stock items in the order for the price rate to apply.
Rate: the NET price of delivery for the specified order value/weight specified.
Priority: allows the user to enter overlapping rates and decide in which order they are to be applied. The first rate that the system arrives at and that meets the criteria is the rate that will be applied.

Notes:

When a PO is created against the supplier, once the delivery rates have been set, then the 'Delivery Rate' field in the Purchase Order screen will populate automatically with the first delivery rate which applies from the list of rates created against the supplier. Then if the quantities are changed against stock item lines or buy prices are overwritten, the 'Delivery Cost' field on the Purchase Order screen will populate with whichever rate set applies.
The delivery rate calculated from the Supplier Screen, which will automatically populate the Purchase Order, can be over-written but if the user does this by mistake, the refresh symbol button next to the 'Delivery Cost' field can be used to change it back to the delivery calculated from the delivery rates against the supplier.
