Dispatch

Need a way to add vehicles to Dispatch without being able to modify the Dispatch itself.

There are times when Central Dispatch will not know in advance which vehicles are coming the next day to deliver on a dispatch. Under those circumstances, it sometimes would be the responsibility of the weighmaster to assign the vehicles to the Di...

Change application testing for Dispatch "Before Scheduled Start" Message at ticketing

On the dispatch order, we set the Schedule Start and End Times. It is my understanding that the schedule start time when the first truck is to be on the job. In order to be on the job at say 9:00am, with a 10 minute in plant time and a 50 minute t...

Require Dispatch Orders for Delivered tickets

Apex now has the ability to require a Dispatch Order when ticketing. However, this affects all tickets, not just Delivered tickets. Should we allow requiring Dispatch on Delivered loads only?

Need repricing capability of dispatch if the product or order changes (especially on a cash sale)

Currently, if a dispatch is created, and the product is selected, the material price is now set for that dispatch. If the customer requests a change to the dispatch (different order or different product), the material price stays as it was for the...

Maintain time interval between dispatch loads

For example, if spacing loads at 9AM, 9:30, 10AM, 10:30, and the first truck actually loads at 9:15AM, other loads should push out to maintain spacing (9:45, 10:15, 10:45)

On void, keep ticket information on the Dispatch Load record, but cancel that load

On a void, cancel the Dispatch Load and create a new one. Recalculate times accordingly. This will provide a more accurate picture of what the Dispatch looks like after you’ve voided that load, if using current times to recalculate (we will be add...

As a fleet allocator, I would like the ability to assign a number of trucks for a carrier to a given order, without knowing the trucks ahead of time As a fleet coordinator, I would like to know the cost of third party vehicles per order.

Many times, the vehicle that will pick up a customer's order is not known - A carrier only states that they are allocating a number of vehicles, but rarely the specific vehicles. Even when specific vehicles are given, it can change without notice.

Develop process to purge old data from the AptruckGeopos table

We discovered a SQL statement in Apex that would peg our Database Server and result in very poor performance throughout the Apex system. Our table at the time had some 2 million + rows. After working with support and Chris Miranti, we ended up pur...

Product drop down fields need to match product field length.

When enter an order in Dispatch Order the product drop down does not show the same number of characters as in the product. Field size needs to be expanded so you can see the entire product.
