Hauler Maintenance

The Hauler Setup and Enquiry windows are identical WZWB simply offers access to this screen from multiple Main Menus for fast user access. Hauler records are global meaning where multiple profit centres exist setting up a Hauler under one profit centre instantly makes it available for selection in another. Creation of a Hauler is very easy from either the Main Menu or on accessing the New (Vehicle ID) button from the Pre-Entry, Entry and Exit windows that will take users to the Vehicle window offering the Hauler button drilldown (to below).

Hauler Setup Fields

Successful Hauler setup requires population of Code, Alpha and Name fields only. Once a Hauler Code has been created it can no longer be edited by users and must saved as a unique code. If the Hauler is to setup as a transport sub contractor to the profit centre the Alpha field will be used on a regular basis with which to determine commonly the Haulers (as a supplier of transport) rate paid by the profit centre for each unique transport destination.

Tailored for unmanned POS Terminal  and manned Pre-Entry and Onsite, Entry operations. Delivers user choice and selection of limiting customers based on the Hauler, transport company (Navigation grid) selected.  With Access as True means the Customer is available for selection via the POS Terminal and Pre-Entry, Onsite windows for transaction processing and includes Hauler linked vehicle ID's entering the profit centre.
Benefits:
  • Additional security in not opening up a list of all profit centre customers to vehicle drivers via the POS Terminal.
  • Limits Customer selection under manned and unmanned operations based Hauler selection resulting in faster processing and minimised data entry errors.  
4. Hauler Customers tab
  • Users can right click for Pop out offering Select/Unselect All.
  • On Hauler setup the default value is True for all customers.
  • Haulers are global meaning they exist for all profit centres; Customers can be assigned to one or all profit centres hence setting a Customer as False that belongs to Branch All equates to the Hauler not being able to process transaction for this customer, for any profit centre.
  • The Hauler Customer(s) tab is available by default to Administration Users and is hidden for Basic Users unless access is permitted under Security Maintenance.
