Introduction

This document provides instructions for setting up volume scales for specific accounts.

Procedure

Account Courier Price Editor

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 3 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 1 – Customer Database and press Enter.

Select Option 17 – Courier Price Editor and press Enter.

  • Enter the Account Receivable Courier Code (M-Z) or * For All.

 

  • Follow the prompts at the bottom of the screen for instructions for each field.

Note

The courier code is part of this setup so that you may set up more than one courier for any account. Also, we use account number “0” zero as a default for all accounts, so a generic setup can be done for all accounts that don’t have a specific scale.

Are All the Entries Correct (Y/N)?

  • Enter “Y” to proceed or “N” to return to the form.

Controls for Fixed Per Day Shipping Amounts

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 3 – Editor Utilities and press Enter.

Select Option 3 – Customer Database Editor and press Enter.

Select Option 13 – Configure Stmt/Faktura and press Enter.

Per-Day Shipping/Handling field has the following rules:

  1. Less than zero means no shipping charges.
  2. 00 means that volume table rules apply.
  3. Any value greater than 0.0 uses the amount as the per-day postage. This amount overrides any rules in the volume table.

                                                             

When running Statements/Fakturas, the courier charges can be forced to 0 by a prompt that occurs during the statement run:

From the Optifacts main menu:

Select Option 1 – Accounts Receivable and press Enter.

Select Option 2 – Monthly Routines and press Enter.

Select Option 2 – Monthly Statements and press Enter.

When prompted:

  • Zero the Courier Charges for these invoices (Y/N)?
  • Enter “Y.” The default is “N,” but entering “Y” means that all Statements/Fakturas of the run receive 0 for courier charges whether the account is typically a fixed per-day charge or on a volume scale.
