Note that a conversion factor must exist between the inventory unit of the item and the piece unit. Related topics Piece units used in load building and loading capacity checks Additional Rate Unit A quantity by unit against which you can define freight rates. You can choose from the units defined in Common. Many freight rates are based on distance and weight. Additional quantities/units enable you to define rates that are based on other units, such as volume, or define rates that are based on combinations of distance, weight, and other units. Example 1 Freight rate by additional quantity/unit: Additional Rate Quantity: 1 pallet, Distance: 1000 km Amount by Distance: 10 Example 2 Freight rates by combinations of units by distance/zone: Weight: 10 kg Additional Rate Quantity: 1 m³ Break Type: Minimum
Distance: | 0 | 100 | 500
Amount by Distance | 10 | 15 | 20
Amount by Weight | 5 | 5 | 10
Amount by Additional Rate Unit | 5 | 5 | 7
In this example, freight rates are based on distance by weight and volume. Shipment SH0001, from Amsterdam to Rotterdam, includes the following details: Distance: 70 km, Weight: 50 kg, Volume: 7 m³ The freight costs for shipment SH0001 are:
     10 * 70 (distance) + 5 * 50 (weight) + 5 * 7 (volume) = 985
