Setting Minimum Weights with a Flat Rate Charge in WeighPay

This guide will walk you through the process of setting up minimum weights with a flat rate charge in WeighPay. This feature ensures that if a load falls below a specified weight (e.g., one ton), a flat rate fee is applied, preventing the charge from dropping too low.

1. Open the WeighPay Pro Windows application.
2. Navigate to Set Sell Product Prices under the sell side of the program.

1. Select the product you want to set up the minimum flat rate for (e.g., green waste material).
2. Set the minimum weight threshold.
   • Example: If the net weight of the load drops below one ton, the system should apply a flat rate fee.
3. Specify the flat rate fee.
   • Example: Set a $75 per ton rate for green waste material.

1. Open a new ticket in the WeighPay Pro scale app.
2. Enter the gross weight of the load.
   • Example: Input 4,000 pounds as the gross weight.
3. Collect the tare weight (weight of the empty vehicle) after loading/unloading.
   • Example: If the tare weight is 2,001 pounds, the net weight will be one ton.
4. Check the system’s response:
   • If the net weight is below the one-ton threshold, the system should apply the $75 minimum charge.
   • Example: If the net weight is 3,000 pounds (half a ton), the system should still charge $75.
   • For loads exceeding one ton, the system should revert to the standard rate (e.g., $75 per ton).

1. Review the default pricing for the product to ensure it is correctly set for different weight brackets.
2. Adjust the pricing unit if necessary.
   • Example: If your product is priced by the pound instead of the ton, adjust the settings accordingly.

By following these steps, you can successfully set up a minimum weight with a flat rate charge in WeighPay, ensuring consistent pricing even when dealing with smaller loads.
