[FuelDispatch]AutoloadMethod

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch, TMW Operations: 15.30.074

Description

The Trailer Autoloading feature helps dispatchers load trailers to maximum capacities. Trailer autoloading takes place in the Trailer Autoload window.

Use this setting to specify how the system fills trailer compartments with commodities.

Notes:

  1. This setting applies only when you have the [FuelDispatch]DisplayAutoload=Y setting in your TTS50.

  2. For all autoloading methods, you can manually enter commodities and volumes in the Compartments section of the Trailer Autoload window.

Options

  • 1 (default)
    Commodities are not loaded automatically. The commodity and volume for each compartment must be entered manually.

    Note: Use this option with the Learned Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch. It is not applicable to the Auto-fill Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch or the Autoloading feature in TMW Operations.

  • 2
    When the load has a single commodity, the system loads the maximum weight in each compartment. It loads the trailer compartments from front-to-back.

    The total commodity weight cannot be more than the maximum commodity weight allowed for the GVW. If it is, the system decreases the volume in the last compartment so that the total commodity weight is less than or equal to the maximum weight.

    Notes:

    1. Use this option with the Auto-fill Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch and the Autoloading feature in TMW Operations. It is not applicable to the Learned Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch.

    2. When you have more than one commodity on the load, you must enter the commodity and volume for each compartment manually.

    3. The loaded volume will be more than or equal to the ordered volume. This helps maximize loads by indicating how much more a load can carry.

  • 3
    When a load has a single commodity, the system loads it in the trailer compartments equally. It fills each compartment to the same percentage of its maximum weight. For example, if a trailer has three compartments, each might be loaded to 79% of its capacity. It loads the compartments from front to back.

    The total commodity weight for all compartments cannot be more than the maximum commodity weight allowed for the GVW. If it is, the system decreases the volume in the last compartment so that the total commodity weight is less than or equal to the maximum weight.

    Notes:

    1. Use this option with the Auto-fill Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch and the Autoloading feature in TMW Operations. It is not applicable to the Learned Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch.

    2. If you have more than one commodity on the load, the commodity and volume for each compartment must be entered manually.

    3. The loaded volume will be less than or equal to the ordered volume.

  • 4
    Use this option when loads may have more than one commodity.

    • With one commodity, the system loads the maximum weight in each compartment until the entire commodity has been loaded. It loads the trailer compartments from front-to-back.

    • With multiple commodities, the number of compartments and the capacity of each compartment determine how the system fills them. In some instances, one or more commodities may not be loaded automatically.

    If the total commodity weight is less than the maximum commodity weight allowed for the GVW, the system does not load the last compartment(s) to full capacity.

    If the total commodity weight is more than the maximum commodity weight allowed for the GVW, the system decreases the volume in the last compartment(s) so that the total commodity weight is less than or equal to the maximum weight.

    Notes:

    1. Use this option with the Auto-fill Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch. It is not applicable to the Learned Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch, or the Autoloading feature in TMW Operations.

    2. The loaded volume will be less than or equal to the ordered volume.

  • Y
    The volume for each commodity on an order must be loaded in the Compartments section of the Trailer Autoload window.

    If a commodity has not been loaded and you attempt to save your entries in the window, a message identifies which commodity is missing. You cannot save until the specified commodity has been loaded into the Compartments section of the window.

  • W
    If a commodity has not been loaded and you attempt to save your entries in the window, a message warns you that the commodity has not been loaded.

    You can save your entries without loading the specified commodity, or return to the window to load the missing commodity.

[FuelDispatch]AutoloadThresholdPercent

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch

Description

When you use trailer autoloading, the volume of a commodity you enter in the Comp Vol field in the Trailer Autoloading window must match the ActualQuantity, QTY, or NetVolume amount entered in Call on Demand Order Entry. The applicable field is identified by the [FuelDispatch]QtysToPromptAutoload setting.

Your company might prefer some leeway in entering volumes, however. For example, you might want to load a reserve, or fill a partial order.

Use this setting to specify a percentage by which a variance is allowed.

Options

  • 0 (default)
    The ordered and loaded volumes of a commodity must match exactly.

  • User-specified percent
    Enter a number between 1 and 100.

    This value sets the maximum permissible difference, in percent, between the total volume of a commodity loaded on a trailer, and the total ordered volume.

    For example, an order might specify commodity volumes of 500, 800, and 1000 gallons, for a total of 2300 gallons. With AutoloadThresholdPercent=10, the total loaded volume could range from 2070 to 2530 gallons.

    Note: When you enter a value between 1 and 100, these requirements must be met before you can save the autoload profile:

    • The total volume of all commodities loaded on the trailer must be within the specified percentage.

    • Each commodity volume must be within +/- 50% of the commodity’s ordered amount. This is a fixed, internal setting in Fuel Dispatch.

Additional Notes

Whether you use the default value (0) or enter a value between 1 and 100, the gross vehicle weight must comply with the Max Gross value in the Order/Permit Information section of the Trailer Autoload window.

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch 14.40.51, TMW Operations: 15.30.074

Description

In the Trailer Autoload window, you can round compartment volumes in the Freight grid. This can cause a mismatch between the ordered volume and loaded volume.

When volumes are rounded, use this setting to ensure that the ordered volume and loaded volume match.

Note: Rounding is based on the Round To field in the Trailer Autoload window. The [Dispatch]CompartLoadVOlRound setting in your TTS50 specifies the default increment.

Options

  • N
    Do not validate compartment volumes.

    No warning will be displayed.

  • Y
    Validate compartment volumes. When a volume mismatch occurs, display a warning and prevent the order from being saved.

    Before the order can be saved, any volumes in the Freight grid must be manually changed to whole numbers.

  • W
    Validate compartment volumes. When a volume mismatch occurs, display a warning, but do not prevent the order from being saved.

    The order can be saved whether or not the volumes with decimal places are changed to whole numbers.

Additional Notes

In Fuel Dispatch, relationships between a user or group and a terminal or fleet as identified in the label file of System Administration provide a board-level security. This security allows terminal managers, dispatchers, or schedulers to view specific boards with read/write, read only, or no security access to orders for planning or editing in the Card Planner, Planning Worksheet, and Call on Demand Order Entry windows.

By default, using the board-level security functionality is disabled. As systems administrator, you might want to assign your board-level security before you enable it in the system for your users.

Use this INI setting to enable or disable the board-level security functionality.

Options

  • N (default)
    Disable board security.

  • Y
    Enable board security.

    Note: Do not use this entry if you are using SSRS reports. Consult your TMW Business Intelligence representative for assistance.

[FuelDispatch]DefaultLearnMode

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch

Description

By default, Learning Mode is activated. As you enter orders in Call On Demand Order Entry, the system records the combinations of companies on the orders and saves them as company relationships. Over time, Learning Mode will record every combination of consignee, shipper, supplier, and Account Of companies that you use with a particular Bill To. The system will also learn PIN Codes for linked companies if the PINCODEOVERWRITE INI setting has a value other than 1.

Options

  • Y (default)
    As you save orders in Call On Demand Order Entry, the system will also save company relationships not already in the database.

[FuelDispatch]DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch, TMW Operations

Description

For a shipper, dwell time is the amount of time a driver needs to load cargo. For a consignee, dwell time is the amount of time a driver needs to unload.

  • Fuel Dispatch
    You can record a company’s dwell time on the Company Profiles - Relations window. Use this setting to set a default dwell time for shippers and consignees for which dwell time has not been recorded.

    When a company without a dwell time is used as a stop on an order, the system checks the number of minutes recorded for the setting. To auto-calculate the stop’s Departure time, it adds that number to the stop’s Arrival time.

  • TMW Operations
    Use this setting to record a global dwell time for all shippers and consignees. There is no way to set dwell times on a company-by-company basis.

    When recording an Arrival time on an order, the system checks the number of minutes recorded for the setting. Then it auto-calculates the stop’s Departure time, by adding that number to the stop’s Arrival time.

Options

  • 30 (default)
    Default dwell time is 30 minutes.

  • User-defined number of minutes
    Make your entry as a whole number.

    Notes:

    1. In Fuel Dispatch, if you make an entry of 0 (zero) for this setting, and dwell time has not been entered for a company, the system makes the stop’s departure time identical to the arrival time.

    2. In TMW Operations, if you make an entry of 0 (zero) for this setting, the system will check [Operations]DefaultLoadTime in your TTS50 for the dwell time. If both are set to 0 (zero), then the system will set the arrival date/time and departure date/time to be the same.

Additional Notes

To determine total dwell time for a stop in Fuel Dispatch, the system also adds the dwell time for the trailer, as recorded in its trailer profile.

Note: This occurs only if you have [FuelDispatch]UseTrailerDwellTime=Y in your TTS50.

[FuelDispatch]DefaultUserTerminalOnNewOrder

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch

Description

By default, when a user enters a new order in the Call On Demand Order Entry window, the system copies RevType1 - 4 values from the consignee’s profile to the new order. If you use RevType1 to identify your terminals, you can use this setting to have the system copy the terminal value from the user’s profile instead. RevType2 - 4 values will not be copied from either profile.

Options

  • N (default)
    Do not copy the user’s terminal (RevType1) value to the order.

    Note: The system will use the [FuelDispatch]SetRevTypeByConsignee setting in your TTS50 to determine how RevType1 - 4 values should be set on new orders.

  • Y
    Copy the user’s terminal (RevType1) value to the order.

    Notes:

    1. Users' terminal values are recorded in the TMWSuite User Maintenance window.

    2. Using this option overrides the [FuelDispatch]SetRevTypeByConsignee setting in your TTS50. Regardless of the entry for that setting, the system will not copy any of the consignee’s RevType values to the order. Users must enter RevType2 - 3 values manually.

Additional Notes

TMWSuite and TMW Operations do not support this setting.

[FuelDispatch]DisableCODOEShipperChangeValidation

Applies to

Fuel Dispatch: 14.040.033

Description

In Fuel Dispatch, relationships are links between companies that affect the order entry process in Call On Demand Order Entry. You can set up the system to enforce relationships when you enter orders. The highest enforcement level for company relationships is the Bill To option. By default, when you use it, changing an order’s shipper or supplier may also change the commodities on the order. If the new shipper/supplier offers different commodities, the system changes the commodity to one available from the new shipper. Both the commodity code and class are updated.

This setting allows you to disable this relationship enforcement. When you change the shipper or supplier for an order, the system retains the original commodity code and class.

Note: This setting applies to the Freight tab in Call On Demand Order Entry. It does not apply to the Tanks tab.

Options

  • N (default)
    Apply relationship enforcement when changing the shipper or supplier.

    Changing the shipper or supplier may change the commodity code and class, based on the commodities available at the new shipper/supplier.

    • If the new shipper/supplier offers a commodity with the same commodity code and class, no change is made.

    • If the new shipper/supplier offers a different commodity with the same commodity class, only the commodity code is set to the new value.

    • If the new shipper/supplier does not offer a commodity with either the same commodity or commodity class, both are set to UNKNOWN. The user must manually select a commodity class and code.

  • Y
    Disable relationship enforcement when changing the shipper or supplier.

    Changing the shipper or supplier on an order does not change the commodity code or class.

Additional Notes

The relationship enforcement level is set to BillTo when you have [FuelDispatch]OERelationMode=2 in your TTS50.

Description

This setting determines how the system will determine the dwell times to use when calculating the departure times from pickups and drops on orders you created in Call On Demand Order Entry.

General dwell times can be recorded for shipper and consignee companies in their profiles. You can also record commodity-specific dwell times for each commodity a shipper handles and each commodity a consignee can receive.

Options

  • N (default)
    The system will ignore dwell times recorded for the shipper/commodity combination and the consignee/commodity combination used on the order.

    • It will use the general dwell time recorded for the shipper to calculate the departure time from the order’s pickup.

    • It will use the general dwell time recorded for the consignee when calculating the departure time from the order’s drop.

    Notes: If no dwell time is recorded for the shipper or the consignee, the system will:

    • Use the value recorded for the DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes setting in the [FuelDispatch] section of your TTS50.ini file as the dwell time for each stop.

    • If the DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes setting does not exist in your INI file, the system will use the default dwell time of 30 minutes for each stop.

  • Y
    The system will use the dwell time recorded for the shipper/commodity combination used on the order to calculate the departure time from the order’s pickup. It will use the dwell time recorded for the consignee/commodity combination used on the order to calculate the departure time from the order’s drop.

    Note: When this option is used, the system follows this hierarchy to determine the dwell time for a stop:

    1. Uses the dwell times recorded for the commodity in the company’s profile. If the order contains multiple commodities having different dwell times, the system uses the larger/largest dwell time for the stop.

    2. If no dwell time is recorded for the commodity, it uses the general dwell time recorded in the company’s profile.

    3. If no general dwell time is recorded in the company’s profile, it uses the value recorded for the DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes INI setting.

    4. If the DefaultLoadUnloadDwellTimeMinutes setting does not exist in your INI file, the system will use the default dwell time of 30 minutes for each stop.

  • Trip dates

Each sub code can be handled by only those locations during the specified date ranges.

You record commodity sub codes in:

  • TMWSuite’s File Maintenance application

  • TMW Operations' Commodity Profile window, on the Sub Codes tab

See the Additional Notes for information about recording sub code restrictions.

  • TMWSuite
    When you save an order that includes a commodity sub code, this setting determines which location and date information is verified. For orders that do not meet the requirements, the system either issues a warning or prevents the order from being saved. This setting applies to orders created in Order Entry and the Dispatch Trip Folder.

  • Fuel Dispatch
    This setting is used with the Auto-fill Autoloading method in Fuel Dispatch. It tells the Trailer Autoload window to use the density recorded for the commodity sub code instead of the density of the generic commodity.

    The setting options determine how the system behaves when an order includes a commodity sub code. If a match exists for the sub code, its density is used in the Trailer Autoload window to calculate weights. If no match exists, the generic commodity’s density is used.

    See the Additional Notes for information about other required settings.

  • TMW Operations
    When you save an order that includes a commodity sub code, this setting determines which location and date information is verified. For orders that do not meet the requirements, the system either issues a warning or prevents the order from being saved. This setting applies to orders created in Order Maintenance or the Trip Folder.

Options

  • None (default)

    • TMWSuite and TMW Operations
      No location or date checking is performed. Any pickup or delivery locations set up for the commodity sub code are ignored.

    • Fuel Dispatch
      The commodity density for the generic (unblended) commodity is used in the Trailer Autoload window.

  • WARNPUP
    When you save an order, the system checks the validity of the pickup from the shipper on the pickup date. If a sub code cannot be matched to the pickup location, a warning appears. The order is saved.

  • WARNDRP
    When you save an order, the system checks the validity of the drop at the consignee on the delivery date. If a sub code cannot be matched to the drop location, a warning appears. The order is saved.

  • WARNPUPDRP
    When you save an order, the system performs both the WARNPUP and WARNDRP checks. See those option descriptions for details. The order is saved.

  • ENFORCEPUP
    When you save an order, the system performs the checks described for the WARNPUP option. You cannot save the order.

  • ENFORCEDRP
    When you save an order, the system performs the checks described for the WARNDRP option. You cannot save the order.

  • ENFORCEPUPDRP
    When you save an order, the system performs both the ENFORCEPUP and ENFORCEDRP checks. See those option The order cannot be saved.

Additional Notes

  • TMWSuite
    Any option other than None adds menu commands that let you set up company product rules.

    The Edit > Pickup Locations and Edit > Delivery Locations commands are added in Commodity File Maintenance.

    The Edit > Products That May Be Shipped and Edit > Products That May Be Delivered commands are added in Company File Maintenance:

    If a shipper or consignee has not been specified as a pickup or delivery location for a commodity sub code, it is assumed that no restrictions apply for that company. No commodity check is performed for that company.

    If multiple products may be picked up and delivered for the dates on the order, a window displays the duplicate matches and lets you select one for the trip.

  • Fuel Dispatch
    To use the [Misc]CompanyProductsRule setting with the Auto-fill Autoloading feature in Fuel Dispatch, these settings are required:

[Misc]ExpDate

Applies to

TMWSuite, Fuel Dispatch

Description

When an expiration is created, it is given a start date, that is the day it goes into effect. This setting determines how many days before that date the Priority 1 and Priority 2 warning indicators will turn from green to yellow.

In TMWSuite, the P1 and P2 indicators display in the:

  • Trip Folder

  • Asset Assignment window

  • Tractor/Trip Segment tab in the Planning Worksheet

    The P1 and P2 indicators on the Tractor/Trip Segment tab are controlled by the ExpDate= setting for all resource expirations. The DrvExpDate= and TrlExpDate= settings in the [Misc] section are ignored.

    Trailer expirations will not affect the P1 and P2 indicators on the Tractor/Trip Segment tab when IncTrlFilterQual=N is in the [Dispatch] section of the TTS50.ini file.

  • Driver tab in the Planning Worksheet

    The P1 and P2 indicators on the Driver tab are controlled by the ExpDate= setting only when the DrvExpDate= setting is blank.

  • Trailer tab in the Planning Worksheet

    The P1 and P2 indicators on the Trailer tab are controlled by ExpDate= setting only when the DrvExpDate= setting is blank.

  • Assign Driver/Equipment window in Order Entry

    The indicator lights are named Hold (P1) and Warn/Note (P2)

  • This setting is not applicable in the Dispatch application’s Dispatch Advantage module. Dispatch Advantage’s Trip Assignment grid does not display P1 or P2 indicators.

Note: In situations where resource(s) have multiple expirations, the color of the indicators reflects the condition that is most serious. For example, if a tractor has a yellow Priority 1 and a red Priority 1, the indicator displays red.

In Fuel Dispatch, the P1 and P2 indicators display in the:

  • Planning Worksheet

    The P1 and P2 indicators are shown in the Resource pane. They apply only to driver expirations. Indicators do not reflect the status of tractor or trailer expirations.

    By default, the indicators are controlled by the ExpDate= setting. If the DrvExpDate= setting in the [Misc] section has a value, that is, it is not left blank, it will control the changing of P1 and P2 indicator colors.

    The Driver, Tractor, Trailer, and Carrier tabs in the Trips/Resources pane do not display P1 and P2 indicators.

  • Card Planner

    The P1 and P2 indicators are shown in the Shift pane. They apply only to driver expirations. Indicators do not reflect the status of tractor or trailer expirations.

    By default, the indicators are controlled by the ExpDate= setting. If the DrvExpDate= setting in the [Misc] section has a value, that is, it is not left blank, it will control the changing of P1 and P2 indicator colors.

    The Driver, Tractor, Trailer, and Carrier tabs in the Trips/Resources pane do not display P1 and P2 indicators.

Options

  • 14 (default)
    The Priority 1 and Priority 2 warning indicators will turn from green to yellow 14 days before an expiration’s start date.

[Misc]GlobalLogon

Applies to

TMWSuite, CRM Right, Fuel Dispatch, TMW Operations, TMW Back Office

Description

This setting activates the global logon feature.

Options

  • Yes (default)
    Store the current user ID and password and apply it for each TMW application accessed by the user today or until he/she selects the Exit and Sign Off command from the File menu to close an application.

    Notes:

    1. This option requires entry of an ID and password only once a day. Entry is needed the first time the user accesses a TMW application. When subsequent access to an application is needed, the system bypasses the logon screen and immediately opens the application. The user may re-access the same application, or access different applications, during the same day without having to log on each time.

    2. CRM Right does not have an Exit and Sign Off command.

      • If users have accessed the application from within TMW Operations, they must use the File > Exit and Sign Off command in TMW Operations.

      • When used as a standalone product, CRM Right does not allow users to exit and sign off. Once a user accesses CRM Right, the system will bypass the logon screen until the stored user ID and password expire at the end of the day.

  • No
    Require the user to log on every time an application is started.

Additional Notes

TMW eManifest does not support this setting.

[Misc]Graceperiod

Applies to

TMWSuite: V.2003 and later; Fuel Dispatch; TMW Operations

Description

Grace period refers to the number of days the system is to continue showing inactive companies and carriers; and terminated tractors, trailers, and drivers in drop-down lists. This setting specifies the number of days allowed. It affects:

  • Drop-down lists in Order Entry, Dispatch, Invoicing, and Settlements.

  • The GRACE setting in the General Info Table.

You can override the grace period temporarily. You do this by selecting the Show Retired Items check box in the Set List Box Properties window. To access the window, go to Tools > Set List Box Property in any core TMWSuite application. The check box is cleared by default.

When the Show Retired Items check box is cleared:

  • This setting in your TTS50 determines the number of days allowed.

  • The General Info Table GRACE setting:

    • Has String1 set to GracePeriod. This indicates that the system uses this setting.

    • The number in the Int1 field matches the number of days specified by this setting.

When the Show Retired Items check box is selected:

  • This setting is not used.

  • The General Info Table GRACE setting values are updated automatically.

    • String1 is set to Apocalypse. Users in any base application can select IDs of inactive companies and carriers, and terminated drivers, tractors, and trailers in fields that use a drop-down list.

    • The Int1 field is set to 999. This is the number of days allowed.

Selecting the Show Retired Items check box does not change this setting’s values in your TTS50. The original entry is retained. Clearing the check box resets the grace period. The system reads the entry for this setting and writes that entry in the Int1 field of the GRACE General Info Table setting.

This setting does not control the ability to look up retired companies or resources in the scroll windows. Resource (driver, tractor, trailer, and carrier) scroll windows let you include retired resources on a search-by-search basis. When using the company scroll window, clearing the Active check box will retrieve retired companies.

Options

  • 90 (default)
    Inactive companies and carriers, and terminated resources show in drop-down lists for 90 days.

  • User-specified number of days
    Inactive companies and carriers, and terminated resources show in drop-down lists for the number of days you enter.

Additonal Notes

  1. If the General Info Table GRACE setting has GracePeriod in String1, TMW Operations will only use the [Misc]GracePeriod TTS50 values.

  2. It’s recommended that the [Misc]GracePeriod TTS50 setting value and the GRACE General Info Table values be kept in sync for TMWSuite.

Applies to

TMWSuite Add-ins, CRM Right, Fuel Dispatch, Inventory Services, TMW Back Office, TMW eManifest, TMW Operations

Description

TMW customers apply security to windows and grids by hiding some columns and fields, and by making others read-only. However, by default, any user can switch from a customized window or data grid layout back to the system default by right-clicking on the layout and selecting Reset Layout from the shortcut menu. This can be problematic because the system default has no security applied to it. As a result, users will be able to view or make entries in fields or columns that your company wants to be hidden or read-only.

You can use the ShowResetLayoutForNonSA INI setting to hide the Reset Layout menu selection for users who are not system administrators.

Options

  • Y (default)
