GC Calculation
Configure the parameters of the GC rate calculation: general surcharge, fuel surcharge, loading equipment surcharge, calculation version and service characteristics to be ignored.
On the GC Calculation tab in the settings you define how rates for general contractors (GC) are calculated. Here you store the surcharges that are applied to GC rates, choose the calculation version and determine which service characteristics should be disregarded during the calculation. The page is aimed at users with administrative permissions who manage the rate basis of a group.
Note: This tab is only available if the GC Rate module is activated for the organisation. If the module is not enabled, the section is not displayed.
1. Navigation
You access the GC calculation settings via the Settings and there via the GC Calculation tab. The displayed values relate in each case to the currently selected group.
2. Parameters of the GC Rate Calculation
In the form of the tab you enter the parameters that feed into the calculation of the GC rates. All fields relate to the currently selected group and are saved together.
Available Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| General surcharge (%) | Percentage surcharge that is added generally to the GC rate. |
| Fuel surcharge (%) | Percentage surcharge to cover the fuel costs. |
| Loading equipment surcharge (%) | Percentage surcharge for the use of loading equipment. |
| Loading equipment surcharge (fixed amount) | Fixed amount that is applied in addition to or instead of the percentage loading equipment surcharge. |
| GC calculation version | Version of the calculation procedure according to which the GC rates are determined. |
| Service characteristics to be ignored | Selection of the service characteristics that should not be taken into account in the GC calculation. |
Note: The percentage surcharges as well as the fixed amount are optional values. If a field is left empty, the corresponding surcharge is not applied.
How to Adjust the Parameters
- Enter the desired surcharge values in the General surcharge, Fuel surcharge and Loading equipment surcharge fields.
- If required, additionally enter a fixed amount for the loading equipment surcharge.
- In the GC calculation version field, select the desired calculation procedure.
- Using the Service characteristics to be ignored selection, define which characteristics should be skipped during the calculation. Several characteristics can be selected at the same time.
- Save the changes (see Section 4).
3. Service Characteristics to be Ignored
Using the multi-selection Service characteristics to be ignored, you specifically exclude individual service characteristics from the GC calculation. Service characteristics marked here do not feed into the rate determination.
- Open the selection list.
- Tick the characteristics that should be ignored.
- Close the selection – the marked characteristics are displayed in summarised form.
In this way you can, for example, exclude service characteristics that are not relevant for GC orders or are already taken into account elsewhere, but that nevertheless have to be specified in the order.
4. Saving the Settings
After you have adjusted the parameters, you apply the changes using the «Save» button. The settings are saved for the currently selected group and affect all GC rate calculations subsequently carried out.
Note: Rates already calculated for existing orders are not adjusted retroactively by a change of the settings. The new values apply from the moment of saving for new calculations.
5. Notes
- The consideration of the GC attributes is not defined on this page, but directly in the order items.
- The settings apply per group in each case. Before editing, check that the correct group is selected.
- The entire tab is only available when the GC Rate module is active.
