Chargeable weight with your own divisor

Chargeable weight is the greater of the gross weight and the volume weight, and Optivis CMS works it out as you enter cargo. Volume comes from each line's dimensions times its packages, and volume weight uses your workspace's volumetric divisor: 6,000 unless you change it in Settings.

Example: 24 cartons of 60 × 40 × 50 cm weighing 310 kg are 2.88 cbm, so 480 kg is charged at 6,000
