Vehicle Setup and Enquiry windows are identical WZWB simply offers access to this window from multiple Main Menus for fast user access. Vehicle records are global meaning where multiple profit centres exist setting up a vehicle ID under one profit centre instantly makes it available for selection in the other. Creation of a vehicle ID is very very easy and straight forward and for the greatest efficiency should be driven from your Pre-Entry, Entry or Exit windows (sampled below).
Vehicle Field List
Code
Means the vehicle Code (Registration or Identification) which must be unique. The Vehicle Code is the field value selected by users from the Pre-Entry, Entry and Exit windows and when created using the New button will default back into these windows on save (bottom window button).
Alpha
Means a variable field with which to offer a secondary unique identification for the vehicle e.g. Profit centre uses Dallas Tags or RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) methods. It's mandatory to record the Vehicle Alpha hence at minimum users will be required to enter this value as a match to the Vehicle Code.
Description
Means a Text type field used to further describe the vehicle which can be the Hauler or a personalized brand existing on the vehicle.
Default VC
Means the default Vehicle Configuration setup within the Product window. Is mandatory and will default on vehicle (ID, Code) identification with first entry into the profit centre.
Hauler Code
Means the transport companies code setup within the Hauler window. Is mandatory, must be unique and is predictive text enabled.
Hauler Description
Means the transport companies full name i.e. Jackson Haulers Ltd, setup within the Hauler window and is defaulted on Hauler Code selection.
Tare
Means the Stored Tare Weight for any vehicle ID. Basic Users (or daily operation users) have an ability to manually record or update a vehicle tare weight within this field where date and time stamp values (below) are automatically system recorded and applied. This field is not viewable to Administrators with multiple profit centre access because it's value is stored and recorded per individual profit centre.
Date
Means the date stamp of the last Stored Tare for any vehicle ID. This field is not viewable to Administrators with multiple profit centres because it's value is stored and recorded per individual profit centre.
Time
Means the time stamp of the last Stored Tare for any vehicle ID. This field is not viewable to Administrators with multiple profit centres because it's value is stored and recorded per individual profit centre.
User
Means the user who last modified the vehicle ID and its related data in anyway.
Copy is the fastest and most efficient way to create a vehicle ID. Find an existing Hauler and linked vehicle ID and copy where on doing so will require commonly just the Vehicle Code and Alpha fields to be populated by users before saving the record.
When users select the New button from the Pre-Entry, Entry or Exit windows with a Vehicle ID having been user selected prior, the vehicle ID selected will be highlighted within the Vehicle window by default where users need only click copy and optionally populate just the Vehicle Code and Alpha fields. On save (bottom button) the newly created ID is defaulted into the applicable Pre-Entry, Entry or Exit window from which the process was originated.
