Calculations for the Waybill Tracking Process |
- Every waybill processed through the Parcel Perfect waybill tracking system includes data on
a number of agent costs. Usually a single waybill will include
a collection leg, a consolidation leg and then a delivery leg,
each of which may be handled by a different agent. The cost
for each of these three legs is added together to form the
total cost for the shipment.
- The number of legs can vary from one up to any number. In
the simplest waybill tracking case, a single agent will handle everything from
the collection to the delivery, and there will be only one
leg attached to the waybill.

Rates for the Waybill Tracking Process |
- Agents are set up as either manifesting (consolidating) agents,
or as collection and delivery agents.
The rates for manifesting agents can be set up individually between
each of your various hubs. These are used to calculate the consolidated
shipment charge, which is then split between all waybills on the manifest.
- Collection rates are divided between multiple waybills on each collection.
- Delivery rates are calculated per waybill delivered.
- All agent rates can use either per kg or per piece billing.
- A different volume rate can be specified for each agent,
and for each route under each agent.
- Each agent can operate using a different currency. All currencies
are converted to your home currency to determine profit margins,
etc.
- Should multiple agents use the same rates, a master tariff
'agent' may be set up to which the other agents can be linked.

Payments for the Waybill Tracking Process |
- Each invoice from an agent can be captured in Parcel Perfect.
- As each waybill number on the invoice is captured, the waybill
details appear on-screen as well as the expected agent rate
calculated by Parcel Perfect.
- The operator will capture the amount that was invoiced by
the agent, as well as the amount that was actually paid to the agent,
since this may differ from the amount that was calculated.
- Discrepancy reports list out all agent payments that are
different to the amounts which were billed by the agent. These are grouped
as two separate reports: under-billed and over-billed
agent payments.
- Payment reports list all agent invoices and the total amount
being paid to the agent.
