Implementing Auto Switch for Duty Types

Action Steps:

1. Identify Conditions: In the custom pricing table, under the columns for Auto-switch slabs, you can identify the conditions for changing duty types automatically. Duty types can switch automatically based on kilometres covered in a duty, or hours of duty, or both depending on which one is exceeded first.
2. Set Thresholds: Under the columns for ‘‘Auto-switch slab after total X crosses’ enter the threshold kilometres or time after which the duty type should automatically switch to a new rate or category.
3. Configure Auto Switch Groups: You can configure up to three auto switch groups for different scenarios:

If you want to enable auto-switching of duty types based on Kilometre limits only, follow the steps below.

Kilometres-based switching: Define the duty kilometre limit after which a duty type should change to the new duty type and rates.

• In the duty types row, under ‘Switch path group’ select a path with KM only (KM 1, KM 2 or KM 3).
• Assign the same path group to all duty types that are supposed to be in sequence.
• Now, when the duty crosses the kilometre limit of the first duty type, it will automatically switch to the next duty type in the assigned path group.

Auto switch takes place correctly when closing duty

If you want to enable auto-switching of duty types based on timing limits only, follow the steps below.

Time-based switching: Define the duty time duration after which a duty type should change to the new duty type and rates.

• In the duty types row, under ‘Switch path group’ select a path with Time only (Time 1, Time 2 or Time 3).
• Assign the same path group to all duty types that are supposed to be in sequence.
• Now, when the duty crosses the time limit of the first duty type, it will automatically switch to the next duty type in the assigned path group.

If you want to enable auto-switching of duty types based on whichever is crossed first, kilometre or time , follow the steps below.

Time or Kilometre (whichever first) based switching: Define the duty time duration or kilometre limit after which a duty type should change to the new duty type and rates.

• In the duty types row, under ‘Switch path group’ select a path with Time and Kilometres (Time & KM 1, Time & KM 2 or Time & KM 3).
• Assign the same path group to all duty types that are supposed to be in sequence.
• Now, when a duty crosses the time or kilometre limit of the first duty type, it will automatically switch to the next duty type in the assigned path group.

By following these steps, you can effectively manage custom pricing and automate duty type selection, ensuring smooth operations and accurate billing in Indecab.
