To open the list of the trailer types available for the fuel distribution company, go to Settings > Trailer Types.
To set up a trailer type:
- At the top right of the Trailer Types list, click the add icon.
- In the New Trailer Type form, specify the following data:
- Name: Enter the trailer type name.
- Description: Enter the trailer type description. The description can contain any additional information.
- Capacity: Enter the total capacity of the trailer. The capacity is calculated as a sum of compartments volume.
- Min Compartment Size: Enter the smallest compartment size. It is not possible to order less fuel than this amount.
- Rounding: This parameter is used for fuel volume calculation for the projected order for the specific trailer.
- Compartments: Set up the trailer compartments and their capacity. The sum of compartment size must be equal or smaller than the total trailer capacity.
To add a compartment, click the last empty row of the list, enter the compartment number, the compartment volume (how many gallons the compartment can hold maximum) and then click enter.
Each compartment should be entered in the Compartments table. For example, if a truck has 3 compartments there should be 3 entries even if it is the same: 1-3000, 2-3000, 3-3000.
We don’t know how many trailers of a specific type the customer has. So, the dispatcher is supposed to make sure that there are no situations when a customer has only one trailer of this type, and system included it into more than one order.
- At the bottom of the form, click Save.
To edit or delete a trailer type, in the Trailer Types list, select the trailer type and at the top right of the list, click the edit or delete icon.
