Rice Lake TransAct 3.5 - Manual (Page 139)

Rates Accounting
140 Version 3.5
The per load charge must be entered into the field used to calculate the rate of the item. For example,
if the transaction is calculated by weight, enter the delivery charge in the weight column (
Ton , in our
example). If the transaction is calculated by Yard , enter the delivery charge in the Yard column. If the
transaction is calculated by Count , enter the delivery charge in the Count column.
The above figure shows a delivery rate for Woodchips and Treated Soil. Enter a ‘Y’ in the Load (Ld)
column to have the amount entered applied to the transaction. A $35.00 delivery charge will be added
to all
Outgoing Woodchips transactions and a $40.00 delivery charge will be added to all Outgoing
Treated Soil transactions.
A Final Rate Example
One final example will be used to summarize the use of rates and taxes. Strupp Trucking is hauling dirt
to customer’s home. Net Weight of the transaction totals 4,220 pounds or 2.11 tons. Using the taxes
and rates from the previous examples for
Treated Dirt , the charge is calculated as follows.
Figure 123. Tax and Rate setup
Material Rate
2.11 Tons X Material (Rate 1) $35.00 = 73.85
73.85 X the State Tax (5%) = 3.69
73.85 X the County Tax (0.5%) = .37
Rate One total = 77.91
Surcharge Rate
2.11 Tons X Surcharge (Rate 2) $0.00 = 0.00
0.00 X the County Tax (0.5%) = 0.00
Rate Two total = 0.00
Delivery Rate
2.11 Tons X Delivery (Rate 3) $40.00 = 40.00
40.00 X the State Tax (5%) = 2.00
40.00 X the County Tax (0.5%) = 0.20
Rate Three Total = 42.20
