Mileage Charges

Mileage Charges Maintenance​

From the DockMaster menu, select Service Management > Maintenance Functions > Mileage Charges

Purpose Mileage charges are tracked by operation and are added to a Work Order operation by using the Mileage Tab. Using the Mileage Maintenance allows you to track Service Calls that your technicians may make to repair a customer’s boat.

Each time you enter the window, you will see ALL charges that have been added to an operation. You can remove a charge or change the description and date at any time until the operation is billed out. To remove a Mileage charge that has not been billed out, select the charge you want removed by clicking on the detail line with your mouse. Press the Remove Charge button from the Command Panel.

Once you bill out an operation to a customer, the charges will appear highlighted and you will be unable to affect these entries. To remove a charge that was erroneously billed to a customer, you must enter the charge again as a negative amount.

To add Mileage Charges to an Operation, select the Operation that you are adding charges to and select the Mileage Tab.
