๐ Overview
The Full Load Voucher Setup allows you to configure the behavior of the Full Load Entry screen according to your transport business requirements.
Unlike L.R. Entry, which is designed for Part Truck Load (PTL) operations where multiple consignments are loaded into a vehicle, the Full Load module is designed for Full Truck Load (FTL) operations.
A Full Load booking generally represents one complete vehicle assigned to a single shipment or customer. It is also suitable for businesses working as:
- ๐ Full Truck Load (FTL) Transporters
- ๐ค Transport Brokers
- ๐ผ Commission Agents
- ๐ฆ Container Operators
- ๐ Fleet Owners
- ๐ Vehicle Hiring Companies
The Voucher Setup determines how the Full Load Entry screen behaves, including default values, mandatory fields, automatic numbering, GST options, expense management, transporter information, charge names, and operational validations.
Proper configuration helps standardize data entry, minimize user mistakes, and improve operational efficiency.
