Parspec lets you add multiple named freight charges and apply each one to a specific entity — lump sum, manufacturer, lot, or line item — with full control over how each cost is calculated and displayed on your quote.
| 1. Add a Freight Cost |
In the Pricing & Lead Time tab, click Add next to Freight.
Enter a unique name for the freight charge (e.g. "LTL Freight" or "Local Delivery").
Select the freight entity this charge applies to:
Lump Sum — applies across the entire quote. Percentage is calculated from the total Extended Sell Price of the BOM (including lots, excluding options and services).
Manufacturer — applies to all line items for a specific manufacturer across all sections, excluding items in lots. Percentage is calculated from the manufacturer's Extended Sell Price.
Lot — applies to a single lot. Percentage is calculated from that lot's Extended Sell Price.
Line Item — applies to a single line item. Percentage is calculated from that line's Extended Sell Price (the Per option is also available).
Select the calculation method:
Flat Fee — a fixed dollar amount.
% of Extended Discounted Cost — a percentage of the relevant entity's Extended Sell Price.
Per Quantity — a cost applied per unit quantity (available for Line Item only).
Enter the freight amount and click X to close the panel.
Tip: You can add multiple freight charges, each with a different name and entity — repeat the steps above for each one. |
| 2. Display Freight on Quote |
Click Create Quote in the Pricing & Lead Time tab.
Expand the Pricing and Lead Time section in the quote customization panel.
Select how freight should appear on the quote:
Freight Breakdown — displays each freight charge by name and amount in a separate table on the quote.
Spread Freight Across Products — adds freight into the unit and extended price columns, so customers see an all-in price per line (this column is also visible in the Pricing & Lead Time tab).
Note: Only one display method can be selected per quote. Choose based on whether your customer needs to see freight itemized or rolled into product pricing. |
