Field/Function

Description

Revenue Group Information

Revenue Group

Select the group name from the list of records defined within Revenue Group Setup.  All similar revenue Item Codes will be linked together using this group.

Revenue Groups do not generate posting transactions, however, they do print on invoices.

See Revenue Group Details Report for a listing of all Revenue Groups and related data.

Items display in the menu for this setting based on the Sort Order set within the Revenue Group Setup.

Rate Item

Set the Rate Item and to define a particular rate scheme to apply to the group for invoicing. Setting this field will update the Invoice Description and set the rating data (Rate Type, Quantity fields, and Rate).

The items available here are Item Codes set for the Rate Plan of the order (set on the Move Information tab) and defined through Rate Plan Setup.

Note: This field is for invoicing only and does not affect actual revenue.

Point of Service

Select a value to indicate where the Point of Service and Location originates.

Figure 16: Point of Service menu

Extra stop locations will appear with a caption of “Extra Stop” followed by the Stop Type (“P” for Pickup or “D” for Delivery) and the corresponding Stop Number (see Extra Stops).

Military EDI Integration

The Point of Service is updated through a UniGroup Rating Send (see UniGroup Downloads) and through EDI Item assignments.

Setting the Point of Service affects which EDI Item options are available (as defined in EDI Customer Setup).

Sales Tax Integration

This field also affects Sales Tax Integration.  The address referenced by this field will be validated for the appropriate sales tax rates.

The following address fields are checked for Sales Tax validation based on the Point of Service:

If the Point of Service field is not set, then the application will check the Origin location for Sales Tax rate validation.

Refer to Point of Service Setup for more information.

EDI Item

This field determines what rating information will display on invoices generated through Military EDI Invoice Integration.  The EDI Item field is only available when the Customer of the order is defined as an EDI customer (through EDI Customer Setup).

The value of this field will populate based on the selected Revenue Group, if explicitly defined within the Customer EDI Item section as part of the EDI Customer Setup.

Invoice Description

The description of the selected service will display in this field by default and a user can update the text (up to 128 characters).  This description will appear on invoices for this transaction. 

Users can update the Invoice Description for all non-invoiced items (posted or non-posted).  To change an invoice description for an item on an invoice, a user will need to void the original invoice and recreate it through Invoicing.

Invoice

Check this flag to have the group automatically appear on invoices.  If the Invoice option is checked, it will be listed with the selected invoice items within the New Complete Invoice.  If not checked, a user can still select the item manually to list it on the invoice.

The option will default to what is set for the group within Revenue Group Setup for the Invoice Flag field.

Rate Type

Select a type from the list defined within Rate Type Setup used to determine how transactions are calculated and how they appear on the invoice.  Additionally, special logics exists for “100-Weight” and “Miles” types. These two types retrieve order data to assist in computing the rate. Refer to Rate Type Setup for details.

The Rate Type affects other rating data on this item, including Rate, Quantity field(s), and Gross Charges.

Setting the Rate Type may trigger Advanced Rating Systems as well. See Rating Systems for an overview and setup options.

Quantity field(s)

The quantity field labels are dependent on the selected Rate Type.  The application multiples the value entered for the quantity field(s) by the Rate to compute Gross Charges.

Rate

The rate applied to quantity values to compute the Gross Charges.

Gross Charges

This is the dollar amount of the charge prior to any discounts.  The application will compute this based on the Rate Type values assigned to the group.

Discount

The percentage discount reduces the Gross Charges to compute the Invoice Amount.

Invoice Amount

This is the amount of the group prior to any reductions. This amount is computed as the Gross Charges less any Discounts.

Reduction Amount

The calculator icon () opens the Reductions screen allowing the user to define reductions for the allocation.  The total amount of all reductions for the group displays adjacent to the calculator icon.

Reduced Invoice Amount

The Invoice Amount less the Reduction Amount displays in this field.  This is the total amount invoiced for the group.

Allocation Information

See Add Allocation Item for data column descriptions.

Manage predefined distributions of the revenue for a group in this section; an allocation occurs when a single revenue amount is separated into more than one revenue grouping.  Create allocations automatically through predefined settings within Allocation Master Setup.  Note:  Only allocations for participating (sister) agents will set automatically.
