Recording Dispatch and Delivery Times

The transport delivery transaction records the date and time when a job was dispatched and delivered. Entering these times correctly is important because they are used to calculate the cost of the job if the delivery has been assigned to a subcontracted truck. This calculation will use the times entered on the delivery and the rates entered in the Transport Setup window. Once a transport job is marked as delivered, it becomes available for invoicing.

1. Choose Transactions > Equipment > Transport Deliveries.
2. Enter a Truck ID. Transport requests assigned to this truck are listed.
3. For each job dispatched, mark the Dispatched checkbox and enter a date and time. A dispatched date and time must be entered before the Delivered checkbox can be entered.
4. For each job that has reached its destination, mark the Delivered checkbox and enter a date and time. You cannot change the dis patched date and time after the Delivered checkbox is marked.
5. Choose Process.
