Dynamic Expense

1. Dynamic Expenses can be set up to pull into applicable loads in order to better gauge profitability. These expenses reflect in our Profitability and Expense reports.
 

2. To set up recurring expenses, go to Accounts Payable - Dynamic Expense.
 

3. From the top right corner, you can set up new expenses and edit them using the pencil icon.
 

4. Here is a common expense of a chassis rental. The unit of measure would be per day, and the $ per day will be added under $ per Unit. Min. total price can be left as $0 if there is no minimum, and free units are also available if applicable.
 

5. A crucial part of the expenses is adding rules and conditions so they apply to the correct loads. In this case, the rules for chassis rental apply from when the container is picked up to when the load is completed (container is fully returned).
 

6. Conditions can be added to ensure only certain load information conditions apply to the expense. In this case, a chassis owner is added. The chassis owner will need to be specified on the load information page of a load to have this expense pulled in to the Driver Pay & Expenses tab (and reports).
 

7. Another example is per diem.

8. Per diem can be set up with the applicable free days.
 

10. The rules would be for the lifecycle of the container from pick up to completion, and the conditions will need to include the container owner with that particular per diem charge and free days. Multiple container owners can be added.
