See New Arden Trucking Project NATP (main)#Billing

Trucking Billing Manifest for Virtual Group is a spreadsheet that is generated based on pick-up or delivery trucker. It will be an option to generate the billing, edit and send to the client or vendor.

Location

• Misc Tab in Master Trucking.
• This can be replaced the existing one or separated for another menu, so that will be two options to create billing manifest. Just in case they change their mind, so at least we still have the existing one.

NOTE: Billing can be generated after defining Truck virtual group from Virtual Group and assigning virtual group to group and master. Then user can generate billing based on pick-up truckers or delivery truckers

Example and Typical Workflow

• User creates a virtual group by classifiers
• User reviews the result then click next
• User selects Generate Billing Generate Billing on Pick up Trucker or Generate Billing on Delivery Trucker option from the menu
• User clicks Apply
• Pop-up window shows Group#XXXX has been generated and Master#XXXX has been generated. See #Figure 1. Assign GRP and MASTER
• User clicks Ok
• User will go to Master# record from quicklink or ListMs to generate Billing Manifest
• User navigates to Master> Misc tab
• User generates Billing Manifest
• System brings up model window where user may select any subset of CTs that belong to the virtual group. See example on #Figure 1.
• User selects some CTs or all CTs
• User completes the form and clicks "Generate Report" button.
• System generates spreadsheet and opens it to the user. See example on #Figure 3. Billing Trucking Manifest for Virtual Group
  • See additional information about spreadsheet here: #Spreadsheet

User Interface

See #Figure 1. Assign GRP and MASTER for pop-up window. This window is showing once user selected generating billing.

System assigned a group and Master automatically once user clicks Generate Billing on Pick up Trucker or Generate Billing on Delivery Trucker

  • CT#
    • Mapping: Ct#CT_Num
  • From
    • Mapping: Company name from Ct#Export_Pick_Up If Ct#Export_Pick_Up is empty THEN Map Ct#Shipper
    • Note: print once per CT on the first line if there are multiples lines per CT on a spreadsheet
  • Origin City
    • Mapping: City from Ct#Export_Pick_Up If Ct#Export_Pick_Up is empty THEN Map Ct#Shipper
    • Note: print once per CT on the first line if there are multiples lines per CT on a spreadsheet

    • Note: print once per CT on the first line if there are multiples lines per CT on a spreadsheet
  • P.O.

    • Mapping: Commodity#Grand Total: Pkgs On Plts
  • Loose Pkgs
    • Mapping: Commodity#Grand Total: Loose Pkgs
  • Gross Weight
    • Mapping: Commodity#Grand Total: Gross Kg
  • Rate
    • Mapping: From user input on the spreadsheet for Rate field
  • Freight Total
    • IF(gross weight/100*Rate < X) THEN X
    • ELSE IF (gross weight/100*Rate > Y) THEN Y
    • ELSE Gross Weight/100*Rate
    • ! Please note that generated spreadsheet must contain formulas so that if number is changed by user it will re-calculate!
  • Fuel
    • Mapping: From user input on the spreadsheet for Fuel field
  • Fuel Total

• CT formulas examples for line 15:
  • Freight Total // =IF(015/100*B9<75,75,(015/100*B9>600,600),O15/100*B9)
    • note: 75 here is a "Minimal Rate"
    • note: 600 here is a "Maximu, Rate"
  • Fuel Total // =Q15*B12
  • Total // ==Q15+S15 If there is Extra column, it should add values from extra columns as well

Misc

• Please note that it is not required to have option to save generated version into the system (as for pdfs)
• Please note that this spreadsheet consists of many column (wide spreadsheet), please use window pane to fix column CT#. If not, please repeat column CT# after Total column
