Recording Accounts Payable information for carriers
In TMWSuite, you can have two types of carriers:
Board carrier
You can track the activities of its resources on Dispatch’s Planning Worksheet.
Note: You must set up profiles for a board carrier’s drivers, tractors, and trailers. When setting up these profiles, make their accounting type None. Your company is not paying these resources through TMWSuite; they are paid by the board carrier. Their profiles are required only for dispatch purposes.
Outside carrier
The activities of its resources are not tracked on Dispatch’s Planning Worksheet.
Before creating the carrier profile in the Carrier File Maintenance window, you should create its Pay To profile. This is because you must provide its Pay To ID in the Carrier File Maintenance window.
When recording a carrier profile:
Be sure the Acctg Type field is set to Accounts Payable. (This is the default.)
Provide the carrier’s Pay To ID.
Note: The accounting ID is recorded in the carrier’s Pay To profile. If you do not specify a Pay To for a carrier, TMW's accounting interfaces will look to the carrier’s Alt ID field for the accounting ID.
