On Dashdoc, whether you're a principal or a carrier, you can add prices to transport orders.
On a self-operated transport
As the carrier of a transport, you can enter an invoiced price as soon as the transport is created.
You can add several price lines, as well as a fuel surcharge.
If the transport has been created by a customer from their Dashdoc portal, the agreed upon price entered by the customer is copied into the carrier's invoiced price when the carrier accepts the transport.
Once the shipment has been accepted, the two prices (agreed and invoiced) become independent: a change in one will have no impact on the other.
On a subcontracted / chartered transport
As a shipper, or as a transport subcontractor, you can add an agreed upon price to a transport order from the transport creation or from the transport details.
This price can be only read by the carrier. It is also copied into the carrier's invoiced price, when the carrier accepts the shipment.
Once the shipment has been accepted, the two prices (agreed and invoiced) become independent: a change to one will have no impact on the other.
A third price, the final price, can be used to override the invoiced price if the charterer has not entered it in Dashdoc, or in case of disagreement, to ensure correct cost and margin calculations.
Who can read and edit what price ?
| Shipper / Customer to invoice / Creator (if not carrier) | Carrier | Other |
Agreed upon price | Entered in the chartered order. Used in the chartering confirmation.
NB : updating the agreed price will update the chartering confirmation, until the transport start. | Read only | No access |
Invoiced price | Read only | Editable at every time, until the transport is invoiced | No access |
Final price | Used to override the other prices | No access | No access |
