The transport module manages national road freight in Colombia (gestión nacional de transporte): the full chain from a customer’s transport request to the trip on the road, the invoice to the customer, the settlement with the carrier, and the regulatory report to the Ministry of Transport.

​
Where to find it

Transport is delivered as pages in the Programs section of the sidebar. If the transport module is enabled for your workspace, its tables appear in your Programs menu; what you can do on each depends on your role and permissions.

​
The document chain

Every trip moves through the same sequence of documents:
  1. Service order — the customer’s transport request, with its details, vehicles, costs, and policies.
  2. Load order — the assignment of cargo or containers to the service order.
  3. Remittance (remesa) — the shipment document, one per trip or cargo.
  4. Manifest (manifiesto) — the trip document that binds the vehicle, the driver, and the remittances travelling together.
After the trip is executed, the chain splits into two settlement branches:
  • Bill the customer — billing groups the remittances and produces the customer invoice.
  • Settle the carrier — the compliment (cumplido) proves the trip completed, legalization consolidates it, and a supplier invoice pays the carrier or vehicle owner.

​
Regulatory reporting

Dispatches are reported to RNDC (Registro Nacional de Despachos de Carga), the Ministry of Transport’s national cargo dispatch registry. See RNDC and fleet monitoring for how reporting and trip tracking work.

​
Before you start

The chain relies on master data that must exist first:
  • Stakeholders — customers, drivers, and vehicle owners.
  • Vehicles — with their documents and insurance policies up to date.
  • Routes and tolls — the geography your trips run on.
  • Freight pricing — the price tables that resolve what a trip costs.
  • Settlement concepts — the concepts that compute freight and deductions on both settlement branches.
Vehicle documents and insurance policies are managed with Insurance and legal; expired policies block operations from progressing.
