The income of an order in Transpas is automatically divided over the legs in order to obtain a fair picture. This can be seen at order level via the ‘sub-plan lines’ tab.
Here it is visible per leg which part of the income is allocated to this. A new leg is created when a leg is splitted or when coupling or uncoupling takes place in a trip.
By default, the income is distributed based on the planned kilometers. These are the route kilometers that come from the planned trip. In other words, the kilometers that are traveled to get from the loading to the unloading location in the relevant journey.
This is therefore not the direct distance between the locations. However, this setting can be influenced via the setting Distance type on sub-plan lines which you can find in the screen Plangroup, tab Extra parameters.
You can make a different choice for each plan group. In addition to the ‘Route’ option, you also have the choice between:
A. Direct (direct distance between the loading and unloading place)
B. As the crow flies (distance on the map between the geo-coordinates between the loading and unloading location. So not by road)
C. Actual distance (Achieved km, often from the on-board computer. Or from charter / to be received externally).
It is also possible to further adjust the income distribution to your own liking. How to do this is explained further here.
We will now explain how the income allocation can be arranged according to your own wishes.
Go to the Cost and income shifting screen to set up the income allocation. Here a new shifting type “income” must be created.
In the income allocation can also be indicated:
You then create the distribution rules for this income allocation here. You choose at least a method (how to distribute) and a goal (which legs shoudl be influenced). In addition, you must also indicate how large this percentage must be (%) in the “Fixed percentage” method.
You can choose from the following allocation methods:
The following goals can be selected:
The “standard way” which is also in effect without setting a income allocation.
Assign fixed percentage. In the example below, 50% of the turnover is allocated to the route in which the order is unloaded.
In the example below, the route with the loading and unloading combination each receives 50% of the turnover and the remaining lines are divided based on distance.
1. You first link this distribution to the department via the ‘Expected costs rate group (provision)’ field. This method can have as goal “all rules” but also e.g. also only the loading or unloading journey. At goal “all rules” he enters the graduated scale for each subplan rule and tries to find a rate. If it finds a rate, this rate is also written to the plan line in the expected costs field:
Please note that when using the all rules target, it is possible that a rate is found / determined for each rule. As a result, it is very likely that the total of the expected costs is more or less than the total revenue. In these cases, the revenue is always divided according to the expected costs on the plan lines!
2. You link the revenue distribution to the plan group.
Make sure that the system always looks at the plan group of the shipment and not the plan group trip field on the sub-plan lines.
3. In the tariff group, it enters the graduated scale depending on the “goal” set for those plan rules. When it finds a rate, the field fills in expected costs on the plan line. These costs are transferred to the sub-plan line, unless all lines receive expected costs as mentioned in point A.
The revenue is distributed based on the allocated costs from the cost distribution:
Always part of a revenue distribution with multiple distribution lines, where the remaining percentage is divided.
A frequently heard ‘complaint’ with regard to revenue distribution was that routes that are outsourced to charters often have too much or too little revenue. They would like to equate this turnover with the costs for this process.
This is now possible: How to do this, you can read here.
