First, we need to introduce or remind you of parent and child package typesParent and Child Package Types.
A Parent Package type Type contains the cut off properties for weight and pieces for a Package Type. For example, a Parent Package Type says if the shipment weights less than 10 kgs/lbs charge this amount, then from 11 to 99 kgs/lbs charge this amount.
A Child Package type Type contains the dollar amount for the weight or piece count for a Package Type. Using the same example from as above, the child one Child Package Type would contain the actual dollar amount if the shipment weighed less than 10 kgs/lbs or another Child Package Type would contain the actual dollar amount if the shipment weighed 11 to 99 kgs/lbs
- The Parent Package Type contains the cut off properties for weight and pieces. It points to the Child Packages depending on the weight/piece amount that you have entered.
- The Child Package Type contains the actual rate for the weight or piece amount.
- Another way to say it is, Parent Packages states at what weight or piece amount should there be a "redirect" to a Child Package to price the shipment.
Example of a Parent Package Type.
