Rate tables can be automated. If automated, the table may itself select the appropriate line or column used dependent on information entered. This selection to line or column may be linked to any of three aspects of a logistics job (area, text or quantity) or to carriage charges for quantity only in stock control.

  • If automation is required, select the appropriate drop down box in "Line" and "Column".
  • Select the appropriate block and line for the text in the drop down boxes.
  • When finished, press <Esc> and <Accept>.

Now the table is created, Line and Column details need adding to make up the table.

  • Press <F5> to amend Line Details.

In the "Line Descriptions" box that pops up, enter the required information:

  • "Brief Description" : Give a brief description for the information in the cell.
  • "Detailed Description" : Give a more detailed description for the cell.
  • "Upper Limit" : This is concerned with the automatic operation of the table. Enter the amount that is the upper quantity limit to be valid in this cell. This may be a quantity (e.g. Kilos for carriage charges) or a distance depending on how your business operates.
  • "Value Type" : Each cell in the rate table contains a value. This value may either represent the rate for the job or the total price of the job. You may enter either 'R' or 'T' here as appropriate for your needs.
  • When finished, press <Esc> and <Accept>.
  • Press <F6> to amend Column Details.
