TruckMate 2022.2 New Features: Back Office

You can now activate service notifications that customers receive via email.

This illustration shows a sample template and the resulting email notification.

These applications now contain this feature:

Previously, for a flat trip, the Driver Pay grid combined loaded and empty miles if Include MT was set to True.

Now, loaded and empty miles display separately.

This feature appears in:

In the Find Freight Bill window, you can now use wildcard characters in the Search Number field.

This window is available in these applications:

The Select Accessorial Charge Code window now contains these columns (listed in alphabetical order):

This window appears in:

The following options are now available for accessorial charge codes in which the Charge Behavior value is Ranged Flat Charge:

The Range From and Range To columns on the accessorial charge detail line defines the time range using values that represent times on the 24 hour clock.

If, for example, an "after hours" pickup range is defined from 0:00 to 6:00 using 0 in Range From and 600 in Range To, the accessorial charge will apply to any appointments with a pickup start or end time in this time range.

In addition, the /aChargeCodes endpoint in the TruckMate MasterData REST API has been updated to allow the following functionality for these options:

The new Range Field options do not appear in the accessorial detail grid.

Feature changes address these business issues:

The Container Search window now lets you search by container type.

The Application Configurator setting CSERV.EXE > Default Trace Type allows you to define a default trace number type that appears in appropriate Customer Service fields.

In the Summary tab, the Trace # field now reflects the value in this setting as follows:

In this example, the Application Configurator setting value is Booking Number (K).

The list of trace numbers on the Trace tab contains one (K123456) that represents a booking number.

That number appears in the Trace # field on the Summary tab.

Vendor rate logging has been enhanced to account for D83 rating (for example, when splitting revenue with a carrier).

Typically, TruckMate bases fuel surcharge value on the combined total of freight charges and accessorials.

However, when splitting revenue with another carrier using D83, there may be a need to exclude accessorials from the fuel surcharge calculation.

If an order is shipping from the United States to Canada, a new checkbox lets you indicate if it is a CSA shipment.

This option must be selected if the value in the CCN Type field on the Customs tab is CSA.

The grid now contains these columns:

When sending trip reports, you can now access driver contact information in the Address Book window.

To activate this feature:

You can no longer delete a driver escrow account if:

The features described here apply to surcharge driver pay. It pays a percentage increase in addition to the amounts defined by existing driver pay rules.

Now, you can create premium-based rates that you can then use in multiple surcharge driver pay rules.

The Bill of Lading and Item Summary tabs now contain, respectively, a Last Processed Status column and field.

TruckMate auto-populates these items, along with the Customs Entry # column and Customs Returned Entry field, for 358 (Conveyance) manifests that are linked to 309 (Cargo Only) manifests. The Last Processed Status information for the 358 manifest comes from the Last Process Status field value for the 309 manifest.

Now, a warning appears if a user attempts to delete a Bill of Lading record on an ACI 309 manifest if that record is linked to a 358O manifest’s Bill of Lading record.

Previously, the Reset My User ID / Password menu option was only available when the Cards tab was selected.

Now, it is also available when any of these tabs are selected:

In the Real-Time Card Vendor User ID & Password window, TruckMate now populates the Vendor User ID field automatically.

You can no longer edit or delete a check record if the check was created from a posted driver statement.

On the Adjust Trip/Manifest Acc Charges window, the Delete button is now active for charge records that were not accrued (Charges value of 0).

Now, if you use Service Days Setup, the Service Level Matrix log shows dates for shifted days.

In the Departments tab, you can no longer do these things with a Payroll Payable GL account (GL type BL014):

In both cases, typically you should use an expense account ID.

Typically, weight breaks are used with rate sheets of type Multi Point/Break. When the new Incremental option is selected, TruckMate calculates these charges incrementally:

If, in an aggregate rating scenario, an incremental rate sheet is involved, TruckMate sums freight bills detail lines prior to applying the incremental logic. The logic is applied the same way to vendor rating in Dispatch when Consolidated is selected in the Carrier Information window.

These additional interface changes were made.

These enhancements were made:

A new Application Configurator option, RATES.EXE > XStop - All auto rating on parent bill, lets you decide whether to rate XStop details in a child bill’s parent bill.

If set to True, the XStop child bill’s details are rolled up to the parent bill and rated.

TruckMate sets Manually Rated to true, and the charge is set to zero.

When the new Application Configurator option RATES.EXE > Allow Mileage Override is set to True, the Mileage Override and Mileage Units columns appear on Multi Point/Break rate sheets.

If a row contains values in these columns, TruckMate includes them when the freight bill is rated, and selects the Man checkbox automatically.

On the User tab, the Multi-User CSV Import feature lets you import multiple users into your system. When you click Multi-User CSV Import, the Users Import window opens. In this window, you can specify a CSV file.

Now, two new columns have been added:

Both columns are required. This means that if, in the CSV file, either value is blank for a given user, an error message displays when you verify or import the file.

Terminal ID and email address information appear on the User tab.
