Formula for calculating freight charges for UPS shipments in YCS

Resolving The Problem

1)The UPS freight charge in YCS 1.0 and DCS 6.2 is calculated as the following:

The min_charge present in YCS_FREIGHT_CHARGE table is the basic Frieght Charge.
To this basic charge, Fuel Surcharge is added. This fuel surcharge is calculated as 1.25% of Basic Frieght Charge. If there are any Special services then some extra charges are added as well depending on the Special service (Refer YCS_SURCHARGES table).

So the final Freight Charge would be - Min_charge + 1.25% of Min_charge + Extra Charges if any,Also the Final Freight Charge is truncated to three decimal places before sending to DCS..

Freight Charge = :ycs_freight_charge+ 1.25% Min Charge + Extra Surcharges If any.

2)Dimensional Weight:

Dimensional weight is a standard formula that considers density when determining charges. The calculations are used to consider the amount of space a package will take up on an aircraft in relation to the actual weight of the package.

For domestic shipments, the dimensional weight = L*W*H / 194

You have to compare the package's actual weight to that of the dimensional weight calculation. And the larger weight is used to calculate shipping rates.
