Create Drop Credits

A drop credit is a flat fee paid to an account for each home address delivered, without regard to the number of pieces that are delivered to the address. Drop credits are not used with single-copy routes.

Drop rates are associated with a product. Normally, the product with the highest drop rate determines the drop credit paid to the account, although product priorities can be established to override this calculation.

Daily drop rates are defined in Drop Rates setup (see Drop Rates in the Setup manual), and you indicate that an account is paid on a per-drop basis in Account setup. Drop credit priorities can be defined in the Deliverable record.

• Select Create Drop Credits from the Account Billing menu to display the Create Drop Credits window.
