Pickups / Returns

Overview

This tab shows a listing of all outstanding pickups and allows you to create pickup requests. Pickups are used only within the jDispatch module at this time, and are a useful way to keep your staff informed of the status of warehouse pickups as well as keep tabs on core & warranty returns from customers.

Creating A Pickup

 

• To create a pickup request, click the Create button in the top right corner of the Pickups / Returns - Today panel.
  

  

• Once clicked, the Add New Pickup Request modal will show

  Start by selecting the type of pickup (Customer or Supplier/Warehouse), then select the customer or supplier they should be visiting. To pick a customer or supplier, begin typing in the name. A number of options should start to display. Once the one you wish to select is visible, just click on their name.
• If it is a customer pickup and there are any drivers currently assigned a delivery to that customer, that driver will be automatically selected as the driver. You can change this. If there are no drivers currently scheduled to deliver products to this customer, please select a driver to assign the pickup to.
• In the information field, type in any notes you want to be visible to the driver when they view the pickup request on their phone.
