Troubleshooting

Warning! Unverified Orders Found

This means that there are orders that need to be verified before they can be settled. You must verify the order(s) on the order status form to settle them. Requiring verification before settlements is an option that is either the customer record or order type.

Some drivers in a settlement (estimated or actual) are not being included for some users running the report

Run a report to check if other drivers assigned to the same fleets/ business units, etc. are also missing. Make sure business units are not being filtered globally by clicking on the Business Units button on the main menu and ensure all necessary business units are checked. See Select Business Units.

Attempting to view the content of a settlement does not load/work

If you are failing to get a settlement to load, and it takes an excessive amount of time to load, the settlement may be too large. This can happen if settlements have not been run for an extended period of time. 

Driver Pay on the settlement is not reflecting changes made to the driver pay on the On Demand Order.

This is expected because when a settlement is created, the actual pay that shows up in the settlement is copied over to the settlement and is no longer tied to the pay on the order itself. If you wish to have the pay changes found on the order applied to the settlement, the settlement would need to be canceled and recreated.
