Table descriptions

The purpose of the Zone table is to associate a Ticket with a Zone ID to establish a delivery/pick-up charge.

If you do not plan to use Dispatch for Cash Sales or Invoicing, or you do not plan to charge separate rates for delivery/pick-up (for example, delivery is always built-in to the Material charge), you can safely ignore the Zone table.

For those of you that will use it, the idea is to set up different areas were you ship and/or receive material. For example:

•Zone F could be a flat rate delivery

•Zone 0 could be customer pick-up

•Zone 1 could be 2 km/mi from the source

•Zone 2 could be 2 km from the source

•Zone 3 could be 3 km from the sour

For each Zone you input the appropriate Selling and/or Cost rates and then Dispatch can calculate an amount due for delivery.

A column name shown in red indicates that a value is required for that column.

Column	Description
General
Zone ID	A unique sequence of letters and/or numbers that will be used to identify the Zone. When adding a new row, you can leave this column empty and an ID will be generated automatically.
Vehicle Type ID	The associated Vehicle Type. If only one Vehicle Type row exists, this column will be set to that Vehicle Type ID.

Sales
Unit Price	The charge for shipping one Unit. For example, if a shipping is charged by the tonne, Unit Price should be for one tonne.
Additional Fee	An fixed amount (flat rate) that will be added to a the shipping charge. For example, if you charge $ 10.00 to weigh a truck, set the Unit Price to $0.00 and the Additional Fee to $10.00.
