Tying Trips, Expenses and Fuel Transactions to Specific Settlement Dates

Control which settlement period your fuel transactions and expenses appear in by adjusting settlement pay dates and understanding how date defaults work.

Understanding Settlement Pay Dates

By default, expenses and fuel transactions appear in settlements based on their transaction date. However, you can control this by:

  • Using the Settlement Pay Date setting

  • Adjusting individual transaction dates


Changing the Default Settlement Pay Date Type For Trips

  1. Go to Settings β†’ App Settings β†’ Settlements
    ​

  2. Find Default Settlement Pay Date
    ​

  3. Choose from:

  • Delivery Date - Trips appear in the settlement period when delivered

  • Pickup Date - Trips appear based on pickup date

  • Custom Date - Manually set the date per trip


Overriding Settlement Date on Individual Trips

To change when a specific trip appears in settlements:

  1. Open the trip
    Find the Settlement Pay Date field

  2. Select the date type:

    • Delivery Date (default)

    • Pickup Date

    • Custom Date

  3. Save the trip

This controls which settlement period the trip (and its pay) falls into.


Linking Expenses to Specific Dates

For other expenses:

  1. When creating an expense, set the Date to when you want it to appear in settlements
    ​

  2. The expense will show in the settlement period that includes that date


Fuel Transaction Dates

Fuel transactions use their Transaction Date for settlement purposes:

  • To move a fuel deduction to a different period, edit the transaction date

  • Or wait until generating the settlement and manually include/exclude transactions
