shipping wt calculation & mixed wt classes problem

(1/2) > >>

llegrand:
Seems there is an issue with the Shipping wt calculation.  In Setting > Settings> Details we set the wt class, in my case to pounds.  In the product description page area  we have the ability to change the wt class to pounds, ounces, kilogram etc.

That led to me believe that there would be calculation within the cart to adjust a prod with 1 pound and one with 8 ounces
to report the shipping wt as 1.5 pounds,  or 1 pound, 8 ounces  and pass that total calculated wt to the shipping extension lookup table.  But that does not seem to be the case.  See the attached screen shot  to see my shipping wt calculated at 129 pounds!   which is 8 X 16  Plus 1  = so it's multiplying the ounces and adding the pound and reporting is as pounds.

Seems there should be some corrections made here =  either the calculation/reporting needs to be better or the ability to change the Wt Class type WITHIN the prod page should be removed and set and showing only whatever is selected in the system settings. 

This is verison 1.1.9

Hi.

Please check you weight class settings (Base weight and all coefficients (multiplicative factor) for other weight classes) http://www.abantecart.com/ecommerce-documentation/52-admin-user-manual/system/localization#Weight%20classes

See screen shot for what is setup in the system.   

Now if I change the 8 ounces to .5 pounds -  the shipping wt is correctly shown at 1.5 lbs.

If my Wt class coefficients are correct and since pound is my base, and ounce is a portion of the base I believe they are.

The question remains - can two different wt classes be selected within product pages (on different products of course)  or must one choose one wt class for the cart and only use that calculating the correct portion on each product page?

Hello. Yes, you can buy two products with two different weight classes.
All calculation based on your base weight class and other settings

That is what I expected to happen within the cart -  so now the question remains what needs to be changed in order for my shipping wt to be calculated correctly?

What is the correct matrix for all settings that effect shipping wt calculations?   You have shown in your screen shot that you can have mixed wt,  you have not directed me to the way to correct something so that my shipping wt calculates correctly.

I believe my coefficients are correct  -  pound =  1.0000  ounce = .0625
So where else, what else do I need to change in order for this to work?


But the only way I can get the shipping wt to be calculated correctly is to only use one wt class.   I have gone back and replaced all my ounces with decimal equivalents of pounds -  and now I have correct shipping wt.
