The
Average Cube in each linehaul leg is
used to determine the share of linehaul cost a shipment will absorb when the density
has been entered as part of the shipment description.
The average cube from the CIS profile can be overridden, for “what
if” or other analysis, using the Linehaul Cube field.
This field can also be used to force a specific cost allocation.
The
default for this item is a zero (no adjustment to the CIS Profile).
Entry
of an amount greater than 1 is read as an override of average cube in
pounds per cubic foot.
For example, entering 2800 would cause the shipment cost to be
based on its share of 2800 cubic feet of freight in the vehicle.
5000 is the maximum cubic feet override.
If the average cube override is required on multiple legs, overrides
should be written in each Linehaul Cube field.
Since
average load can also be a determinant of cost allocation, average load
overrides should also be entered, in pounds, for the Linehaul Adjust
item.
In situations where the Linehaul Adjust item is required for a ratio or
miles override, a cost allocation override can be made instead of entering
average load and cube.
An
entry of 1 or less for Linehaul Cube is read as a cost allocation override:
·
Force the system to allocate 35% of the linehaul cost to the shipment by
entering .35 in the Linehaul Cube field.
·
Force the system to allocate all of the linehaul cost to the
shipment by entering 1 in the Linehaul Cube field.
The
Truckload button, on the CIS shipment entry screen, puts a 1 in the field.
The Pupload button puts a .5 in the field.
Each button also suppresses dock handling cost and makes the pickup and
delivery single shipment stops.
A negative entry for Linehaul Cube is read as an overhead cost override, in $$$.¢¢, in conjunction with overriding direct cost by entering a negative amount in the Linehaul Adjust field:
entries of -135.60 for Linehaul Adjust and -20.35 for Linehaul Cube would override the system cost calculation for linehaul with $135.60 direct and $20.35 overhead.
