In our business process we have to calculate the chargeable weight for both the inbound and outbound shipments. Calculating Chargeable weight is as follows:
Calculating chargeable weight:
Volume = (length x width x height)
The Volumetric weight calculation varies based on the type of the transport.
Volumetric weight for Air - (length x width x height) / 6000 - Cubic Centimeters per Kg
Volumetric weight for Courier -(length x width x height) / 5000 - Cubic Centimeters per Kg
Volumetric weight for Road (Also referred as Economy) -(length x width x height) / 5000 or 6000 – Only for customer it is 6000 and for all others it is 5000 -- Cubic Centimeters per Kg
For Air, Courier and Road - Gross weight compared with Volumetric weight, Which one is higher we will consider it as Chargeable weight -Volumetric weight for Sea - (length x width x height) - Cubic Meters per Ton or Cubic meters per kg (For Sea we will not compare Volumetric weight with gross weight. we will consider volumetric weight as the chargeable weight)
Please guide us how to implement this in WMS / TMS
