Delivery Rate Card Setup for Stock Items

The Customer Catalogue can use a Rate Card item to calculate a delivery charge for the stock items in the order.

The number of items in the basket are used as a quantity for the Rate Card and the sale figure is displayed as a 'Delivery' line on the basket.


There are two models of configuring the Delivery Rate Card

  • Variable delivery price per item in the basket
  • Single delivery price for the order ( per basket)

Variable Price Per Item

This model allows for a different delivery sale price to be calculated based on the number of different items in the basket (regardless of the quantity of each item).

The number of items in the basket relates to the ‘Quantity’ column on the rate card.

For example, with a rate card:

 

 

Quantity

 

1

 

10

 

20

Delivery Price

 

£5

 

£40

 

£60

 

Where an order has 3 items in the basket, the delivery charge would be £12.78.

For 15 items in the basket: £50.

For 22 items in the basket: £66.

Single Price Per Order

This model calculates a single delivery charge price no matter how many items there are in the basket.

The rate card is set out slightly differently for this:

 

 

Quantity

 

1

 

100,000

Delivery Price

 

£10

 

£10

 

Using this model, no matter how many items there are in the basket, the price will always be

£10.

How to set up a Delivery Rate Card

Setting up Delivery Rate Card does not differ from setting up a normal Rate Card (such as pricing for Templates). For example, choosing the Specification, Suppliers and cost, etc.


  1. Follow the instructions for setting up a Rate Card in the Part 14 - Catalogue Management document setting the Sale Prices as per one of the models above
  2. Once set up Edit the Customer you wish to use the Rate Card
  3. View the 'Catalogue' tab
  4. Enter the Product Code of the Rate Card to the 'Delivery Ratecard' field
  5. Hit 'Save'
