Purchase attribution to operating work

Check the vehicle and load context before treating a fuel purchase as part of a particular transport job.

Step by step

  1. Establish the asset identity App Administrator

    App Administrator maintains the vehicle's unit number, plate, organization and operating state. Transport Supervisor uses that identity when examining the asset selected on the fuel purchase.

    • Identify the asset and operating company
    • Updates Vehicles, Organizations, Fuel transactions
  2. Identify the load Dispatcher

    Dispatcher checks the load record number, subject, lane and organization before linking the purchase to that work. Keep the load owner recognizable for follow-up questions.

    • Link the intended transport job and follow-up owner
    • Updates Loads, Fuel transactions, Team members
  3. Examine the assignment Transport Supervisor

    Transport Supervisor reads the recorded driver and vehicle assignment and compares it with the purchase. Resolve a difference through the people responsible for the operating records.

    • Compare recorded assignment with purchase attribution
    • Updates Load assignments, Drivers, Vehicles
  4. Read the stop context Transport Supervisor

    Transport Supervisor examines the load's stop sequence, locations and recorded timing to understand the operating work. Use the evidence to frame the question that needs an answer before review.

    • Examine the relevant location and timing evidence
    • Updates Load stops, Loads
  5. Confirm or correct attribution Dispatcher

    Dispatcher maintains the purchase's vehicle and related-load information under the agreed procedure. Send a corrected entry for the appropriate review with its supporting receipt and rationale available.

    • Correct the purchase and prepare its next review
    • Updates Fuel transactions, Record attachments, Review decisions

Where it usually breaks

And how to keep it from happening.

  • Similar lane names obscure the job. Use the load record number and organization when selecting the related work.
  • Current vehicle state is treated as a history. Establish the circumstances at the purchase date before drawing a conclusion from today's state.
  • The purchase cannot be attributed confidently. Keep the question visible and investigate before assigning it to an unrelated load.
