Issue Solution
Cannot create shipment Ensure sales order is confirmed, "Use Company Vehicle" is checked, and Driver and Vehicle are selected
Cannot start journey Verify both source and destination have GPS coordinates in correct format (decimal degrees)
Distance shows 0.0 Check that all four coordinates (source lat/long, destination lat/long) are filled with numbers, not text
Google Maps not opening Check browser allows popups, verify GPS coordinates are valid, ensure internet connection is active
⚠️ Important: Always set GPS coordinates for partners before creating shipments. Verify driver licenses are valid before assignment.

💡 Best Practices

  • Always set GPS coordinates for partners before creating shipments
  • Verify driver licenses are valid before assignment
  • Check vehicle capacity matches order quantity
  • Use estimated duration for better planning
  • Record actual times for performance analysis
  • Add notes for exceptional circumstances
  • Perform regular license expiry checks for drivers

🔬 Technical Information

Distance Calculation

The module uses the Haversine formula to calculate accurate distances between GPS coordinates:

a = sin²(Δlat/2) + cos(lat1) × cos(lat2) × sin²(Δlong/2) c = 2 × arcsin(√a) distance = R × c (where R = 6371 km)

Google Maps URL Format

https://www.google.com/maps/dir/?api=1 &origin={source_lat},{source_long} &destination={dest_lat},{dest_long} &travelmode=driving

Security & Access Rights

  • Sales Users: Read, Write, Create shipments
  • Sales Managers: Full access including Delete
