Allowing carriers to approve pay details for crude orders

If you want, you can give carriers the ability to approve pay details for loads with a Completed status. Carriers' approval of pay does not affect the settlement process in TMWSuite. By default, even if pay is not approved, you will be able to finalize it in Settlements.

Crude carriers approve pay on the Load Pay Details page by clicking the Approve Pay button.

Allowing carriers to record reference numbers on pay details

When carriers approve pay on the Load Pay Details page, they may want to assign their own reference numbers to pay details. These reference numbers are referred to as carrier invoice numbers. They are entered for an order in the Request Pay window. You access the window from the Crude Load Details page.

You can also make entry of these numbers a requirement. For example, if a carrier invoice number is not entered in the Request Pay window, the user cannot save the pay detail.

  1. Before you can enable this feature, you must first authorize carriers to approve pay details.

  2. When a carrier enters a reference number for a pay detail, you will be able to see the number when you review the pay detail in the Settlements application. It appears in the Car. Inv. Num field in the Trip Settlements Folder or the Final Settlements Folder.

To enable users to record carrier invoice numbers for pay details, follow these steps.

  1. Go to Menu > Configuration > Settings Manager.
    The Settings Manager page opens.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To apply the setting change to all roles, verify the Role field is set to [Global Settings].

    • To apply the setting change to a specific role, select it in the Role field.
      A message asks you to verify that you want to change the role. Click OK to continue.

      If the setting has already been changed for at least one role, its text label is bold and italic.

  3. On the Modules tab, in the Module Selection field, select CarrierCrude.

    Note: The settings in the Pay tab can be changed only when you have selected the Override Carrier Module Settings setting. For details, see Overriding the Carrier module settings.
