Logistics & Transport is switched on from this screen. It adds screens to book LRs (bilty), run trips with own and hired trucks, settle driver advances, raise GTA freight bills and keep vehicle, driver and e-way bill reminders.
Why and when you use it
A transport company or fleet owner earns per trip and spends on diesel, tolls and drivers along the way. Without a system, LRs, advances and freight bills live in separate books and money leaks. This module brings them together. The owner switches it on once; booking clerks and the accountant then use the new screens.
Before you start
- Owner or admin login
- Check your plan in Plan & Usage
- Customers (consignors) added
Step by step
- Open the screen and switch it onOpen Logistics & Transport and press the switch-on button. The logistics screens appear in the menu.
- Book LRs (bilty)An LR (lorry receipt, or bilty) is the receipt you give for goods taken for carriage. Book one for each consignment.
- Run trips with own and hired trucksPlan each trip on your own truck or on a hired one, so you can see what each trip earned and cost.
- Settle driver advancesRecord cash given to the driver for diesel, tolls and food before the trip, and settle it against his expenses when he returns.
- Raise GTA freight billsRaise freight bills to your customers as a GTA (goods transport agency). How GST applies to GTA freight depends on your option and the customer; check with your CA.
- Keep remindersUse the vehicle, driver and e-way bill reminders so papers and e-way bills do not lapse during a trip.
Worked example
Rajasthan Roadlines, a transporter in Jaipur, carries 9 tonnes of FMCG goods for Sharma Traders from Jaipur to Delhi on 12 Nov 2026 for ₹28,000 freight.
- The owner opens Logistics & Transport and presses the switch-on button; the new screens appear in the menu.
- Books an LR for Sharma Traders' consignment, Jaipur to Delhi.
- Plans the trip on the company's own truck and gives driver Suresh ₹8,000 advance for diesel and tolls.
- On return Suresh shows ₹7,400 of bills; the advance is settled and ₹600 comes back.
- Raises a GTA freight bill of ₹28,000 to Sharma Traders.
- Sets reminders for the truck's papers and e-way bill validity.
Result: The trip shows ₹28,000 earned against ₹7,400 spent, the driver's advance is cleared, and Sharma Traders owes the freight bill.
💡 Tips
- Settle each driver advance as soon as the trip ends, while bills are fresh.
- Keep hired-truck trips separate from own-truck trips to see which pays better.
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Giving driver cash without recording it as an advance, so it is never settled.
- Letting an e-way bill expire on the road. Use the reminders and check the validity on e-Way Bills.
सवाल
Can I switch it off later?
Ask your Stockivio admin; switching on only adds screens and does not change your existing data.
