FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

This is an operational report (not extract) and will be generated to a PDF report, strongly formatted.

The reports shall be named:

  • KPI Summary by Depot report.


Selection Criteria

  • Depot - Required. Default to accessible depot. Lookup of accessible depots.
  • Date Range or Schedule. Required. Defaulted from the existing selected or default schedule.
  • Period - a drop-down list of values:
    • Day
    • Week
    • Month


Report Format

Title

Set to "KPI SUMMARY BY DEPOT REPORT".

A sub-title will show the depot and period being reported on this page:

Depot X - NAME. Period: [PERIOD]

The period is formatted by the following criteria:

  • Day - system date format e.g. "DD/MM/YYYY"
  • Week - week format "YYYY, week WW"
  • Month - month format "YYYY-Mmm"


Data Selection

Compared to a traditional report (which reports details in "header/detail/footer" style, this report is summarising several queries into one page per depot. Each section will select its own data from different data sources.

However, basic selection criteria will be required based on the parameters entered.

  • If no depot is selected, all depots will be reported on.
  • Trips will be selected based on the owning depot and the date range selected.
  • Orders will be selected based on the owning depot and the date range selected.
  • Trip data range selection should be based on the actual start date, or the planned date if not started.
  • Order data range selection should be based on the actual collection and delivery dates, or the planned dates if not completed.
  • Deleted trips should be excluded.
  • Cancelled orders should be excluded.
  • Drivers should be selected based on the carriers associated to that depot.
  • Vehicles should be selected based on the carriers associated to that depot.


Reporting Sections

Each page of data contains the following sections:

  • Drivers
  • Vehicles
  • Orders
  • Trips


1 page per depot per period reported. So:

  • if by date and a week range is selected, 7 pages will be produced, one for each day.
  • if by week and a 10 day range is selected, 2 pages will be produced, one for each week, with all data applicable to the weeks defined by the date range selected.
  • if by month and a single day is selected, 1 page will be produced, one for the month, with all data applicable to the month defined by the date range selected.
