Takings Summary Report

Overview

The Takings Summary report shows the total takings for vehicle(s) over a specified period. The takings include those fares that were read from the meter, entered manually at the end of a job or those fares that have been edited via the Fleet Management Website after the job has been completed. Note that for this report to be useful, fare collection (see Note 1 below) and odometer readings (see Note 2 below) must be enabled for your fleet. It is used by some fleets to see a running tally of takings for each car for the current day so that higher earning jobs can be given to those cars that have earned the least so far.

Information required

Select the fleet (1) and the start and end time for the report (2). Then select a vehicle or multiple vehicles (3) to include in the report.  Then decide if you want to see results for shifts that start outside but ends within or start within but ends outside the specified period (4) or only those shifts that start and end within the specified period (5).

  • Requires Fare Details (Account)
  • Requires Fare Details non Acct

Note 2
In order for the system to calculate the $/km, the driver must be forced to enter the odometer reading at the start and end of shift. This can be set by setting the following fleet/vehicle properties:
