Default Shade Color

This value option is a 24-bit RGB triplet which is an integer consisting of three 8-bit values ranging from '0' to '255' each. This allows the user to specify any color they want for the default grid alternating shade color.

Booking Carrier Preview Folder

This option is to specify a staging folder to store the beyond carrier PDF files generated from the IP Booking Number Processing. This allows TruckMate users to review the generated PDF files before putting them in a web folder as their final location, where they can be viewed by agents and beyond carriers. This should give users a chance to verify the correctness of the PDF files before allowing external agents to see them.

Booking Carrier Web Folder

This option allows the user to specify the web folder to be used for storing the beyond carrier PDF files generated from processing IP Booking Numbers. This folder is the final location for those PDF files and will be used by agents and carriers to view the stored PDF files. The first stage for those PDF files is to have them reviewed by TruckMate users in the staging folder specified in the 'Booking Carrier Preview Folder' option described before.

Calc Net IP_GL

When inserting into the IP_GL table, you can net the debit and credit amounts if they are for the same GL Account by setting this option to 'True', which is the default value; only the net value (either debit or credit) will be inserted into the IP_GL table. Setting this option to 'False' will insert the debit and credit amounts as they are.

Create Zero Charge

When set to 'True', allows the creation of zero charge records. Default is set at 'True'.

Default Audit GL Date

This config option controls the default IP’s Audit GL date that will be used when an Interliner transaction is being approved or audited. There are three possible values:

Default Audited Charges

This option controls which charges to be used when generating an interline payment. You can select the 'Accrued Charges' (A), or the 'Recalculated Charges' ®. The Accrued Charges are the original charges incurred as a result of the interliner service provision, whereas Recalculated Charges are charges resulted from a recalculation process that took place as a result of changing one or more values on the freight bill affecting the IP transaction, after posting the IP record.

Import - Automatically Consolidate

Automatically consolidate IP records on import if the amount is within tolerance limits. See below for import low tolerance and import high tolerance.

Import High Tolerance

This option controls the upper limit of tolerance value when matching an EDI 210’s dollar amounts to an IP record amount while using the IP Inquiry Import window. Default is set at '0.00' (zero dollars in high tolerance, which means that the imported value must never exceed the matched value).

Import Low Tolerance

This option controls the lower limit of tolerance value when matching an EDI 210’s dollar amounts to an IP record amount while using the IP Inquiry Import window. Default is set at '0.00' (zero dollars in low tolerance, means that the matched value must never exceed the imported value).

Here are the error values and message if the import data cannot be match to the IP data:

IP Accrual Date Default

This option allows you to set a default date for the IP Accrual Date. You can select one of the available values for this option:

Note: This option is only used when Application Configurator program > CSERV.EXE >'Auto Approve IP on FB Approval' = 'False' or whenever IP is approved separately from FB. When Application Configurator program > CSERV.EXE >'Auto Approve IP on FB Approval' = 'True' and IP was not already approved separately, then set OI.MANIFEST_DATE = TLORDER.BILL_DATE.

Require AR Payment Before Approval

Determines whether AR Payment is required before approval. Default is set at 'False'.

Show Adjustment Notes

When this option is set to 'False,' the 'Notes' field in the IP Audit program > Interliner Details section will show 'NA'. If this option is set to 'True,' the 'Adjustment Notes' field will be available to the User, who can then set it to 'True' or 'False,' allowing Adjustment Notes to be added to the Interliner Payable Adjustment record. Default is set at 'False'.

Unapprove or Unaudit IP on Recalc

This option reverses the approval of an IP record when IP charges are Auto-Recalculated. If you set this option to 'True', when IP charges are auto-recalculated (e.g. 'Recalculate IP charges on trip status change' = 'True' or Assign Carrier 'Cost Allocation Rule' is used to prorate IP charges over FB’s) and the recalculated charge has changed and the status is 'S' or 'A', at the same time the amount is updated to match the recalculated charge then also reverse the status to 'N' and 'U' respectively. If you set this option to 'False', the status will not be reversed at the same time the amount is updated to match the recalculated charge.

Allow Inactive GL

This config option can enable error-checking for inactive GL accounts by any of the TruckMate 'register' applications. By default, this option is set to 'True', meaning that the register will behave as in past versions of TruckMate (i.e. no error-checking is done on the GL Accounts that have transactions processed against them).

If this value is changed to 'False' or 'Warn', then when a user clicks the 'Print Report' button, if any of the GL Accounts selected for the report are inactive, a pop-up warning will display, listing the inactive accounts. The reports will still print and the user can check the 2nd (GL) report to see which transactions contain the inactive GL Accounts. When the user clicks the 'Post' button, however, some functionality will be disabled (depending on if 'False' or 'Warn' is chosen):

Note: This config option has no effect on a Reprint, as there is no point in error-checking transactions that have already been posted.

Subtotal GLTRANS Postings

If set to True (the default), then when GLTRANS records are created, all the GL transactions in the audit/register run are grouped/summed together by GL account and date (one lump figure per combination). If set to False, then the figures are grouped/lumped by GL account, date, and source transaction ID.

PO Number Prefix

Determines the prefix text to append at the front of a Probill number when the AP Invoice PO Number is transferred to A/P. This will help to ensure it will avoid creating a duplicate number between the Probill numbers and PO numbers.

For example, you could use a prefix like 'PB' to indicate this entry was derived from a Probill number.

Custom Notes Save In

This setting will override the 'Notes' for the TLORDER.USER with whatever value you enter here. Valid values are 'USER1', 'USER2', 'USER3'…​ 'USER10'.

This setting, when set to 'True', will require that the User enter a Job Quote ID value in the 'Project/Job No.' field on the Customer Service program > Summary Tab (or whatever the field’s name may be- see above option). The User will not be able to approve the Freight Bill until this field is populated with an 'Active' Job Quote number. Default is set at 'False'.

Project/Job No. Unique

This field, when set to 'True', will ensure that the Job No. entered in thee Customer Service program. If it is set to 'False', the box will not be checked, and you will have to manually check it in order to enter manual rating information.

Max Record To Search

This option sets the limit of any search in TLOrder. Enter a numeric value, or '0' if you don’t want TruckMate to load any records when Dispatch is run (no records will be returned). Default is set at '10000'.

Remember Settings

Offered because there are so many configuration items for each individual option that this setting can save you a tremendous amount of time. Setting the default setting to 'True' allows the Local Dispatch program settings to be saved to a Windows registry per user, all of the options on the screen. If you prefer to change your settings for this program each time, set the configurator setting to 'False' which means that none of your previous settings will appear upon opening the Local Dispatch program.
