Purpose

Use Land Freight to manage road-transport job orders, vehicle/driver assignment, trip execution, traffic monitoring, delivery evidence, workshop support, charges, billing, and job completion.

Preconditions

  • The user has Land Freight access for the correct office/branch.
  • Customer, routes, truck types, vehicles, drivers, warehouses, issue types, charge codes, currencies, and rates exist.
  • Vehicle, driver, permit, and safety requirements are satisfied.
  • Pickup/delivery instructions and service pricing are approved.
  • Required workshop/stock data is available for maintenance-related transactions.

Workflow

  1. Create the Land Freight order and trip in Planning.
  2. Assign the truck, driver, route, cargo, and schedule; the trip becomes Assigned.
  3. Dispatch the trip and update it through Dispatched and InTransit.
  4. Record physical delivery and set the trip to Delivered.
  5. Receive proof of delivery and set POD Received.
  6. Continue through Send Invoice and Collect Payment.
  7. Set Job Closed when the operational and financial work is complete.
The process map follows the TripStatus sequence implemented by the project.

Step-by-step

1

Create the job order

Enter office, customer, pickup/delivery locations, cargo, service, requested schedule, vehicle requirement, pricing, and instructions.
2

Create the trip

Use Traffic Monitoring > New Trip and link the correct job/order.
3

Assign resources

Select an available vehicle and qualified driver; verify route, documents, capacity, condition, and contact details.
4

Dispatch

Confirm readiness and move the trip to the running state through the configured action.
5

Monitor execution

Update departure, arrival, waiting, delay, incident, delivery, and return milestones.
6

Record actuals

Enter fuel, toll, allowance, subcontractor, workshop, and other actual costs with evidence.
7

Complete delivery

Attach or reference proof of delivery and confirm actual quantities, time, route, exceptions, and returned documents.
8

Bill and close

Create customer billing, settle expenses, allocate payments/receipts, review profitability, and close the job.

Screenshots

No sanitized current-version Land Freight screenshots are stored in the repository yet.
Recommended captures: Job Order; New Trip; vehicle/driver assignment; Running Trip; proof-of-delivery area; actual charges; Closed Trip.

Result

The transport job has an assigned and traceable trip, complete execution milestones, delivery evidence, recorded actual costs and revenue, and a reviewed final status.

Approval

The TripDetail status sequence is operational and does not use the generic transaction-approval engine. Separate related records can require approval, including quotations, Advance Vouchers, workshop Work Orders, Purchase Requests/Purchase Orders, bills, invoices, and Payment Vouchers. Status updates must still reflect the actual trip and proof-of-delivery evidence.

Accounting Impact

Job/trip creation normally has no direct ledger impact. Estimated costs support planning. Posted allowances, expenses, purchase/vendor bills, customer invoices, cashier transactions, stock issues, and closing journals affect expense, inventory, AP, AR, cash/bank, revenue, and job profitability.
