Reports: Contractor Statement (Loads)
Select Reports | Vendor Statements from the Main Menu. Select a contractor. The grid in the window will show all load entries (including the activity, pay basis, pay rate and weight) and pay amount for a given contractor. Use this grid to ensure that all entries are paid at the correct rate. Once you have verified that the pay is correct, you can run formatted pay statements by clicking on the 'View Statements' button.
The activity column specifies the activity that is paid. If the activity was 'TRUCKING' instead of 'LOAD,' you would see 'TRUCKING' in the activity column.
The formatted vendor statement can be used to distribute to your contractors as the supporting detail to their payment.
The formatted statement is in two parts: the first part is a summary of the vendor pay; the second part is a detailed load-by-load listing. You can use one or both parts to distribute to your vendors depending on your business preference. One of the really nice things about the formatted statements is that they can be saved as '.PDF' files and e-mailed to vendors instead of being printed and mailed.
Part 2 of the statement can be configured so the columns (and their headings) are the ones you want, and appear in the order you want. For example, if you wanted the destination to be the fourth column with a heading of 'Mill,' you can easily configure your statement to do that (see Configuring Statements). Also, you can control the use of subtotals -- you can subtotal across any columns (multiple columns if desired) that appear in the statement.
The activity specifies the activity that is paid. If the activity was 'TRUCKING' instead of 'LOAD,' you would see 'TRUCKING' for the activity.
In the case of 'TRUCKING,' The Logger's Edge may add an asterisk (*) to the 'Ticket' in the first column -- e.g., '6889 *'. This asterisk is used to identify trucks that carried 'overweight' loads. The asterisk will only appear for those users for which the truck overload functionality has been enabled. See How To: Manage Overloads.
