Your menu in TMS may differ slightly depending on which version of the TMS you subscribe to, your Price List-options can be found either under SETTLE, COST CONTROL or BILLING.
There are six steps to follow when creating a price list;
- Creating the header
- Add possible Post Code Areas
- Add Additional Fees
- Add Logistics Services (if several)
- Add Customer Number (if several)
- Add Freight Costs
When you want to create a Price List, you will see this view:
Enter your Price List information
The Price List header should contain the mandatory basic information regarding your Price List, such as;
Price List description - Most commonly used to refer to which customer and carrier the Price List should be matched to, perhaps also specifying if it's for domestic or international shipments. Choose the Price List description you prefer, but we recommend that you keep it simple and easy to differ from similar Price Lists.
Sold logistics service - Specify which logistics service you will use for this Price List. You can use more than one logistics service by adding it under ''Manage'' once the Price List is created.
Price List type - This decides what the Price List will use for calculating the cost. The options are Weight, Postal Code Area or Distance.
Currency - Specify which currency the Price List is valid for. You can only have one currency for each Price List.
Cost driver - This is the main cost driving unit. What you pick here will decide how the Price List calculates the freight charge. Some options are whether you charge per shipment, per pallet, per loading meter etc.
Valid from and Valid to date - Choose a timeframe where the Price List will be valid.
Amount type - Set BUY or PLANNEDCOST if you are creating a Frieght Price List. If you are creating a Customer Price List, set SELL, PRICE or DISTRIBUTED ACTUAL PRICE.
