    Dispatch

     

    Field Name

    Description

    Options

    Default dispatch E-Mail address

    When sending orders or messages to a driver, this is the return email address that is used when the driver replies to the message or updates an order using the Q codes if there are no email addresses associated to that driver's fleet.

    Dispatch refresh interval

    Interval that the dispatch board will automatically refresh at.

    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
    Note

    This

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

    excludes the built-in capabilities, Distance, Base Rate, Waiting Time, Loading Time, Pieces, and Weight.

    Enforce capabilities when ranking

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

    Note

    This excludes the built-in capabilities, Distance, Base Rate, Waiting Time, Loading Time, Pieces, and Weight.

    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.

    Example: If there is a HAZMAT item in the order that requires approval for a driver to deliver, it would check if the driver has this certification when assigning to an order. Then depending on your selection, it will "enforce" or "warn" the CSR.

    Enforce critical dates

    Critical dates are stored in Human Resources that can refer to items such as drivers license, insurance, or immigration expirations and in Vehicles (Classic Operations App) for items such as registration and insurance.

    • Enforce - The dispatcher will not be able to dispatch the driver or vehicle if one or more of the items are expired.

    • Warn - The system will prompt the dispatcher if they would like to dispatch the driver or vehicle despite the expiration.

    • Ignore - The expiration dates are not monitored by the Operations App.

    Enable & Track "Received At Dock" (Check Box)

    Checking this box enables another status tracking option called Received at Dock. This can be found under order status on the order form.

     Image Removed

    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.

    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”.

    titleMore information on using "Custom Procedure" for Customer ID Algorithm

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

    - The custom procedure cannot have any parameters, and should only return 1 row with 1 column, where the value is the new CustID value (Name does not matter). When selected, a field Custom Procedure Name will be visible where you can specify the name of the custom procedure you would like to use.

    Customer Options

    Enable Customer Inactivity Warning ___ days

    Warn CSRs of customer inactivity after a configurable number of days

    Enable Alternative Lookup

    Allow alternate lookup. See Customer Alternate Lookup for more information.

    Driver Pay Chart Options

    Enable driver pay charts

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

    Customer > Accounting tab:

     Image Added

    Human Resources > Advanced tab:

     Image Added

    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.  

    Warning

    If enabled, this option causes ALL driver pay to be calculated using the Human Resource pay chart, regardless of whether a pay chart is specified for the customer or not.

    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.
