Dispatch

Showing 46 of 313

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.

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.

Add ASSIGNOUT as an Event

ASSIGNIN is an Event that can be tracked, but there is no corresponding event called ASSIGNOUT for situations when a Scale Clerk manually checks a truck out of the plant. We need to track this so we can troubleshoot 3rd Party integration issues.

Currently, the information send to the driver after a ticket is created includes his next location. That next location will be that of his next assignment, or his home location if he has no additional assignments. This makes it difficult to keep s...

Ability to enter Dispatch Order Quantity or Loads when ticketing

You are now able to add a dispatch order on the ticketing screen. However, it is always added for one load. It would be great if when adding the Dispatch via the ticketing screen, you could also add either the ordered quantity or loads so that the...

Ability to assign carrier to dispatch

Many times, the actual vehicle is unknown until it arrives at the plant when a third party carrier is asked to deliver material. It would be beneficial for a third party carrier to arrive at a plant, then choose from a list (via kiosk, or weighmas...

Email Frieght Pay Invoices at end of process

It should be simple to add a script, similar to that which emails customer invoices, as the last stage of the Freight Pay process. This would save massive amounts of manual work to regenerate individual email to carriers in line with invoice periods

Ue of Detail Purchase Orders, but Dispatch orders do not seem to be honoring this setting.

Dealing with state entities and other customers, we frequently receive a different PO for different material - all for the same job and same sales order. We do have Apex configured to use Detail Purchase Orders. However it seems that, when creatin...
