Scanner Software - Dispatch Load

This function is used to load items onto a truck for delivery. You can create tally sheets for each customer that you will be delivering to. You may have just one tally sheet on a truck, or multiple tally sheets, depending on how the truck is loaded and how many deliveries the driver is able to make. Tally sheets are used to show the customer which items they are receiving from you and allows them to sign for the items. To do this:

  1. Select the Dispatch menu.
  2. Select Load.
  3. Select New.
  4. Use the drop down arrow to select the Dispatch Type. Select Delivery if you are delivering the items or select Pickup if the customer is picking up their items.
  5. Enter the Truck number (if delivering) or the Unit identifier (if the unit is picking up).
  6. Enter the Run number. This is the sequential trip number the truck or unit is making today. For example, if this is the second trip the truck is making today, it would be run 2 for this truck.
  7. Enter the Mark For. This is the customer who is receiving the order.
  8. Now you can begin scanning boxes to load up. Scan the 2D (two dimensional) bar code of the MSL (military shipment label) on each box. Scanned boxes will show in the list below.
  9. When you have finished loading items for this customer, select Save and then Done.
  10. Once you have downloaded your scanner to the your computer, you can print the tally sheet for your customer to sign.
