Compare actual and volumetric shipment mass without a carrier billing guarantee.
METHODOLOGY
ShipmentPrep compares complete actual shipment mass with the current volumetric mass in canonical kilograms, before presentation rounding.
Estimated chargeable mass = max(actual mass, volumetric mass)The exact comparison state is ACTUAL_GREATER, VOLUMETRIC_GREATER or EQUAL_EXACT.
| Actual mass | 120 kg |
|---|---|
| Volumetric mass | 120 kg |
| Estimated chargeable mass | 120 kg |
| Comparison | Equal exactly |
This is an estimated chargeable mass, not a guaranteed carrier billable weight. Actual mass is required; incomplete multi-carton mass never produces a fabricated comparison.
Carrier billing may apply additional service-specific measurement, rounding, minimum-weight or contractual rules.
