Creating a cost (for dispatchers)

Note

The driver mobile app already lets drivers record their additional costs and upload the invoices and documents. Use this function when a dispatcher needs to create the cost themselves.

Steps

Step 1

Go to the All costs menu and click the create button.

Step 2

Enter the information:

  • Cost date: select the date the cost was incurred.

  • Cost type: select the type of cost.

  • Amount: enter the amount, including tax.

  • Tax: select the tax type, if any.

  • Description: enter a description of the cost, if any.

  • Invoice / Document: attach the invoice or document.

  • Driver: select the driver.

  • Dispatch order: select the dispatch order the cost belongs to, if required.

  • Vehicle: select the vehicle that incurred the cost, if required.

  • Location: select the location where the cost was incurred, if required.

  • Some additional information:

    • Supplier: select the service supplier, if that supplier already exists in the system.

    • Invoice number: enter the invoice number.

    • Serial number: enter the invoice serial number.

    • Tax code: enter the tax code of the service supplier.

Step 3

Click the save button to finish creating the cost record. A newly created record is in the NEW state.

Step 4

Click CONFIRM to confirm the cost record.

  • If the cost type is configured to need approval, the record moves to WAITING FOR APPROVAL after you confirm it.

  • If the cost type is not configured to need approval, the record moves straight to APPROVED after you confirm it.
