Summary / Purpose

Use this article to search for existing runsheets or create new runsheets in the Web Portal.

Overview

A runsheet is a list of consignments assigned to an employee or agent for pickup or delivery.

Use runsheets when:

  • You need to assign multiple consignments to a driver or agent
  • You want to optimize delivery routes
  • You need to track operational tasks by employee

Navigate to Transport → Operational Tasks → Runsheets

The Runsheet Filter page will be displayed:

Search by Runsheet Number, Assigned To name, Quantity, and Weight by entering values in the column fields and pressing Enter.

Sort results by clicking column headers. The arrow indicates ascending or descending order.

Double-click a Runsheet number to view its details, or right-click and open in a new window. The Runsheet Detail page shows Runsheet Info, Additional Info, and Consignment Detail.

Use the Column Selector tab to add or remove columns from the results.

Create a Runsheet

Start a new runsheet

  1. On the Runsheet page, click Create New
  2. The Runsheet Creation screen opens

Assign consignments

  1. Select the Source (Employee or Agent)
  2. Select the assignee from the dropdown
  3. Enter the Consignment Number
  4. Click Add
  5. The consignment appears in the table
  6. Repeat until all consignments are added

The Sort column shows the order consignments should be completed. Drag and drop rows to reorder.

Generate optimal route (optional)

  1. Click Auto Route to calculate the shortest route. This button is only enabled when two or more consignments are added.

Release the runsheet

Click Release Runsheet when the runsheet is complete.

Note: Only release when all consignments are finalized and the runsheet is ready for the driver. Once released, jobs automatically move in the driver's app from the Load page to the Delivery page without the driver needing to take any action.

Extra Information

Once a consignment has been added to a Runsheet and assigned to an employee or agent, it cannot be removed unless you open that consignment and re-assign it to another agent or user.

Note: Point-to-point jobs added to a Runsheet display both legs of the consignment — you may see a consignment appear twice. This is because point-to-point jobs contain both a pickup and delivery component. Both legs are displayed so you can arrange each leg separately in a logical order. Use the Pickup column to differentiate between the pickup and delivery leg.

In the above image, both lines are for the same consignment — the top line is the pickup leg and the second line is the delivery leg, indicating a point-to-point consignment.

Note: Assigning a pickup or point-to-point job via the Pickup Allocation screen does not add the consignment to a Runsheet in the same way as using the Runsheet Creation page.
