Pricing Adjustments are part of an addon module and are not available in the base Fast-Weigh license. If this is something you are interested in using, please reach out to the Sales Team at 865-219-2980 or [email protected].

Price Adjustments and Billing Exports

If you do a Billing Export through Fast-Weigh to an integrated accounting software, the export may need to be adjusted to account for the addition of Price Adjustments so it can be added to the export file.

In these cases, please reach out to 865-219-2980 or [email protected] for assistance.

Creating Price Adjustments

With Price Adjustments, you can easily add additional pricing for various situations and add them to multiple order and quote products. Price adjustments can be set up using multiple calculations (Percentage-based and Fixed/Flat Amount-based), assigned to one of the multiple types of rates, and up to three can be applied per product.

Navigate to Resources -> Billing -> Price Adjustments

The list of price adjustments will show the baseline information at a glance such as the Type of rate it's being applied to and the Method (aka the calculation type).

To enter an adjustment, click the [+New Adjustment] button, and then enter the desired values for type and method.

Terminology Breakdown

  • Type: Which rate will this be applied to? Material, Freight, Surcharge, HaulerPay

  • Description: The name of the Price Adjustment.

  • Method: The calculation type being used.

    • Percent Of Rate: This option calculates a percentage of the rate chosen in a similar fashion to how Tax Codes function in the software.

    • Fixed Amount of Rate: This option calculates a Fixed/Flat Amount that applies to the rate chosen. As an example, if you set Fixed Amount of Rate to $5.00 then it would add $5.00 per unit on a ticket. A ticket for a 10-ton load would come out to a $50.00 additional charge.

    • Fixed Amount of Load: A Fixed/Flat Amount that applies per load. If you have a $10.00 Fixed Amount Of Load Price Adjustment assigned, then the ticket would have an additional $10.00 charge for that load.

Once an adjustment is created, highlighting it will allow you to enter the length of time and rate that the adjustment is available by clicking the [+New Rate] button in the adjacent box.

The From Date and To Date options are the time frame the adjustment will be "active" if used.

As an example, 4/3/2026 as the From Date would start once it hits Midnight on 4/2 and vice versa for the To Date for becoming "inactive".

The Rate itself must be entered in decimal format instead of a percentage. As seen in the example, 4% would be entered as 0.04.

Once the rate is submitted, the adjustment is available to be applied to order products and quotes.

Applying Price Adjustments

Assigning to Products and Pricing Templates

Assigning your Price Adjustments to the product and your pricing templates is done in the Products and Pricing section of the portal.

Navigate to Resources -> Products -> Products & Pricing

In the Product Pricing tab, your product pricing list will show a "More" edit button if a product has a price assigned to it. This is where you can assign the Price Adjustment to your product on the pricing template.

Assigning to Order Products

Just like in situations where you may have variable pricing for products set on an Order that differ from your Pricing Template, you can assign the Price Adjustments to specific orders individually as well.

For existing order products, you can use the Edit button and assign the Price Adjustment. For new order products, the Price Adjustment field will be available to assign the appropriate adjustment before saving the Product to the order.

Seeing Price Adjustments Applied To Tickets

You can use the Ticket Query in the Web Portal to view ticket information and see if any Price Adjustments were applied.

When viewing a ticket, you can scroll to the right until you see the column labelled Adjustments. If there is a "$ View" button displayed, it has an adjustment applied and that can be viewed by clicking said button.

This will show what adjustment has been applied, along with the price amount that the adjustment added to the ticket.
