Understanding Staff Setup

The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system enables you to define the kind and number of staff at a depot or for a particular vehicle. When setting up a depot, you assign the staff to a specific depot, job description, shift, job type, effective date, and expiration date. You assign staff to a specific depot based on employee qualifications. By assigning employees to a depot, you can track which members of the transportation staff are at various locations.

You can assign employees to a particular vehicle and shift. In addition, you can set up effective dates and expiration dates. You assign an employee to operate the vehicles according to the job that the individual performs. This is especially useful if you use a private fleet for deliveries.

Use the Work With Depot/Vehicle Staff program (P49041) to assign staff to operate the vehicles according to the job that each staff member performs. You can also assign a person to a particular vehicle or you can assign staff to a depot. This is particularly helpful for tracking a private fleet of vehicles and drivers.

You can assign a vehicle to an employee who has special qualifications or a specific license that is required to operate the vehicle or transport a particular product such as hazardous materials.
