Freight Rule - Supplier Total by Threshold Amount

Freight Rule - Supplier Total by Threshold Amount

This freight rule allows you to apply a freight rule per supplier/pricelist in your Inzant Sales system. The rule specifically allows you to apply a pre-threshold freight value to an order, a threshold value, and then a post threshold value.

This rule is often used to encourage users to buy over a certain amount of stock and receive free or discounted freight. The following values are applied on each rule (1 supplier/pricelist per rule);

  • Pre Threshold Charge
    • A default $ charge applied to the order when 1 or more items are added and the total is less than the threshold amount.
  • Threshold
    • A $ value that separates the two freight charges. 
  • Post Threshold Charge
    • When the total of an order is equal to or greater than the threshold, the Post threshold charge applies.
  • Supplier
    • This refines the rule to only applying to a specific Supplier/Pricelist.

Example – Supplier/Pricelist A

  • Pre Threshold Charge $35.00
  • Threshold $150.00
  • Post Threshold Charge $0.00

A “Default” rule can be implemented by assigning values to a rule with the Supplier of 0. This means when items on an order are from a supplier that currently has no specific rule, it will use the default rule to implement freight pricing.
