Ranked order refresh interval

The automatic refresh interval that is used when you are ranking drivers for orders.

Enforce capabilities when dispatching

This will look at the capabilities that a driver has. If the order requires a capability that a driver does not have, it will keep you from dispatching the order to that driver. You will be prompted with a message that lists the capabilities that the driver needs for this order.

Enforce capabilities when ranking

This will take in to account the drivers capabilities when ranking the drivers for an order.

Enforce capabilities on order form

This will take in to account the drivers capabilities on an order form.  This also applies when an order is being updated after it has been dispatched.

Sets number of orders  displayed in the Operations App "Orders" screen. The maximum number of orders allowed is 1000.

Customer ID Algorithm

Sets how the Generate ID  feature works that is used to create a system-generated customer number when adding a new customer.  Two options are available:

  1. Maximum ID Plus 1 - Creates new customer number by adding "1" to the highest customer number on file.

  2. Next Available ID - Creates new customer number by finding gaps in current customer number list (lowest to highest).  Once all gaps are used, reverts to "Maximum ID Plus 1" methodology.

  3. Custom Procedure - Creates new customer number from a custom procedure. You must reach out to Enterprise/Dedicated Services to have a custom procedure created. If a custom procedure is not specified then the algorithm will default to “Next Available ID”.

- 1 will continually be added to the value returned of the custom procedure.

Customer Options

Enable Customer Inactivity Warning ___ days

Driver Pay Chart Options

Enable driver pay charts

If enabled, this option makes visible driver pay charts in:

Customer > Accounting tab:

 

Human Resources > Advanced tab:

 

Driver pay charts allow the disconnection of delivery personnel pay from order rates. A separate pay chart is created to which "Human Resources" or "Customers" are pointed. When the delivery person is paid, if pay charts are setup for their "Human Resource" or for the order's "Customer," the pay is calculated using it instead of the order's rate.  By default, customer pay charts override human resource pay charts, however this logic can be reversed by using the "HR Pay Charts Override Customer Pay Charts" option described below.

HR Pay Charts Override Customer Pay Charts

If driver pay charts are enabled using "Enable driver pay charts" option above this option is visible.  When enabled, if a pay chart is defined in "Human Resources" it overrides the pay chart (if defined) setup for customer.  The end result is the delivery person is always paid from the "Human Resources" pay chart, not the customer pay chart.  

Auto-calculate surcharge driver pay on live orders with manual user overrides

If enabled and using driver pay charts, when a driver's base rate pay has been manually overridden on a live order, the surcharge will be auto-calculated off of the overridden base rate amount instead of the original driver pay chart calculation.

If disabled and using driver pay charts, the driver surcharge pay is always based off the associated driver pay chart and not off the manually entered driver base rate on the live order.
