The Vehicle table allows you to associate different selling and cost amounts when you want charge for the Trucks you use to ship or receive material.
Dispatch automatically creates a default Vehicle Type identified with the Type ID NS and the Description Not Specified.
If you do not plan to use Dispatch for Cash Sales or Invoicing, or you do not plan to charge separate rates for delivery/pick-up based on the Vehicle Type (for example, delivery is always built-in to the Material charge), please use NS for the Vehicle Type for all Trucks.
If there is the only Vehicle Type it will be used automatically whenever a Vehicle Type is required. For example, if you add a new Truck, the Vehicle Type will automatically be set to NS. For example, if you add a new Zone, the Vehicle Type will automatically be set to NS.
A column name shown in red indicates that a value is required for that column.
