Creating a Rate for an Outbound Picking Fee Based on Individual Units
This article is about the Billing Manager app, not the Billing Wizard in 3PL Warehouse Manager. To learn about the Billing Wizard, please refer to the articles in the Billing Setup.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to creating an outbound picking fee based on individual primary units, inner pack units, master pack units, or full pallets. This rate allows you to apply the charge for each of these units of measure individually. For further guidance, you can also watch the instructional video here.Â

- Click + Create Rate in the upper right corner.Â

To discern the difference between Count and Count Less Other UOMs, consult our article on Understanding Count vs Count Less Other UOMs.Â
This implies that we will count solely the individual primary units that do not belong to any other unit, such as inner packs, master packs, cases, or pallets.

Master Pack
This means that we only apply the fee to the number of individual primary units that make up a packaging unit set up at the SKU level.
