Logiwa's billing contracts are created with three main selections:
Operation
Fee By
Charge By
Additionally, the conditions section can help you to differentiate the contract lines for the same operation. Each section is explored in-depth below.
Operation
Operation is the main group of the Logiwa functions that can be used for your contract lines.
The different operation types available are:
Shipment: Records shipping transactions.
Recurring: Used for fees charged each billing period (or a one-time charge).
VAS: Used for charges not automatically captured by the system.
Pick & Pack: Checks picking and packing transactions.
Receiving: Tracks receiving operations.
Storage: Monitors inventory transactions.
Fee By
This selection determines the type of data that will be utilized to add a billing line. For example, if you bill your client based on shipped orders, the Fee By value will be Per SO (Shipment Order).
Shipment | Recurring | VAS | Pick & Pack | Receiving |
Per SO | Recurring | Operation | Per Pick | Per Product |
Per Label |
|
| Per Pack | Per LP |
Per LP |
|
|
| Per PO |
Per Product |

| Per SKU |
Storage fees are affected by the Fee Calculation Type you select. The Fee By options for each Fee Calculation Type recorded below.
Storage: Fee Calculation Type | Fee By |

Charge By
This selection determines the charging unit. For example, if you charge $0.50 to your client per picked product, the required selection is:
Pick & Pack as an Operation Type
Per Pick as the Fee By selection
Product for the Charge By at $0.50/product
Each section's options are described in greater detail below.

Receiving Calculation Examples
Receiving Calculation Examples
Example 1
Settings:
Fee By: Per Product
Charge By: Product
Each Unit: Per Product
With Each Unit Settings:
A set price will be charged for each product received, no variation.
With From Quantity settings:
If 0-50 products are received, charge $1 per product.
If 51-100 products are received, charge $2 per product.
Results: If during that period 70 items were received, then (50*1) + (20*2) = $90 for the total product receiving charge.
These results would also apply to calculations using Per LP and Per PO.
With Tier-Based settings:
If 0-50 products are received, charge $1 per product.
If 51-100 products are received, charge $2 per product.
Results: If during that period 70 items were received, then (70*2) = $140 for the total product receiving charge.
Tier-based settings are not currently available for Per LP and Per PO.
Example 2
Settings:
Fee By: Per SKU
Charge By: SKU
Each Unit: Per SKU received within the order.
With Each Unit Settings:
To demonstrate through example say that for the following:
PO1: SKU1 and SKU2 received
PO2: SKU1 received
Total calculations will be done for 3 SKUs.
With From Quantity settings:
If 0-2 SKU are received, charge $1 per SKU.
If 3-10 SKU are received, charge $2 per SKU.
Results: If during that period 3 SKUs were received, then (2*1) + (1*2) = $4 for the total SKU receiving charge.
Storage
Storage operations have a variety of Fee By operations, but for each you can find the following options:
Location | LP | Product | Total Volume |
Location | Pallet | Product | Volume |
Frequently Used Conditions
The Conditions section can assist you in distinguishing the contract lines for the same operation.
For example, consider an operation that utilizes both FedEx and UPS integrations for the client's shipment orders. According to the contract, FedEx shipments will incur a charge of $0.15 per shipment label, while UPS shipments will be charged 10% of the shipment cost. Both contract lines pertain to the same operation, the same Fee By selection, and the same Charge By selection.
To differentiate these charges, the only option is to create two separate lines and specify the contract conditions for the billing fees accordingly.
Below are examples of some of the frequently used options. Please note that this is not a complete list.
