Setting up Accounts Payable information in resource profiles
In TMWSuite, a resource is an asset that can be assigned on a trip. There are four types of resources:
Driver
Tractor
Trailer
Carrier
TMWSuite can be set up to pay any of these resource types. A resource is considered an Accounts Payable entity if all of the following are true:
The resource is employed/owned by a person or company that is not part of your company.
TMWSuite will be used to calculate pay for the resource.
The resource’s earnings do not go directly to the resource. Instead, its earnings are sent to the Pay To with which it is associated. The Pay To, in turn, pays the resource via its own accounting system.
Note: Third parties are another type of payable entity, e.g. agents, salesmen, finders, lumpers, etc. If you have purchased the Third Party pay add-on feature, see the Third Party Pay Guide for details on paying third parties.
