Order printouts
An order prints three papers: the Order for the carrier you send to a subcontractor, the Confirmation for the client, and a CMR draft filled in from the order. Each is made from the order as it is at that moment, so nothing is typed twice, and each print is noted in the order's history.
Before you start
- Your organization has the TMS add-on. Open an order and choose Print in the menu next to its next step (the arrow beside the header button).
- Everyone in the organization can print and download the PDF, viewers included. Saving the order for the carrier into the order's documents needs a role that may change TMS data.
- Your company's name and address on the papers come from TMS settings, Company and numbering. Remarks for carrier orders come from the client's and the carrier's cards (see TMS clients and carriers).
- Printing opens a new browser window. Allow pop-ups for Quanty, or the card says "The browser blocked the print window. Allow pop-ups for Quanty and try again."
The Print menu
| Paper | Offered on | Language |
|---|---|---|
| Order for the carrier | Orders driven by a carrier. | Print in your screen language; Download PDF in Polish, in English or in German. |
| Confirmation for the client | Every order except drafts. | Your screen language. |
| CMR draft | Every order that is not cancelled, drafts included. | Your screen language. |
A cancelled order has no Print menu. To print a paper in another language, switch the app's language first (the PDF for the carrier has its own language choice).
Order for the carrier
The sheet you send a carrier with the order: what to carry, where, when, at what price and on what terms.
| Part | What it holds |
|---|---|
| The heading | Transport order, the order number and date, Our reference, your company (Principal) and the Carrier with its tax number and the carrier's reference. |
| Route | Each stop with its time window, reference, ramp and comment, what is loaded or unloaded there, the contact person, "Ready from …", "Planned on site: 60 min", the pre-advice ("Pre-advice booked: AV-2231") and the handling ("manual unloading", "no transshipment"). |
| Goods | Each goods line with its quantity, weight, sizes ("120 × 80 × 150 cm per piece"), volume, temperature and setpoint, value, packing and stacking, and every dangerous substance under Dangerous goods (ADR): "UN 1263 Paint, class 3, packing group II". |
| The cargo | The trailer type, the temperature, the requirements (your own trailer types and requirements under the names you gave them in Dictionaries) and the SENT number. |
| Vehicle and Driver | The carrier's plate and driver, when known. |
| Agreed price | The carrier cost, or "Price to be agreed". |
| Remarks | The remarks for carrier orders from the client's card, then those from the carrier's card. |
| Terms | "The carrier confirms the order by return. Payment 45 days from the receipt of the invoice with the original CMR and delivery documents. Re-loading and subcontracting only with our written consent. Waiting time over 24 hours at a stop is settled separately." |
| Signature and stamp | A box for the carrier. |
The payment term on the sheet is the carrier's term on the order, else the carrier card's term for costs, else its general term, else your organization's default, else 30 days.
Save in the order's documents files the sheet in Files (folder Order documents (TMS)) and on the order as an Order for the carrier document, in your screen language: "The order sheet is saved in the documents." Saving the same unchanged order again returns the copy already saved; after a change to the order a new copy is saved.
Send the order to the carrier attaches the same sheet as a PDF in the e-mail's language (see Sending orders to drivers and carriers). A very long order may not fit: "The order is too long to print. Shorten the remarks or the list of goods."
Confirmation for the client
The Order confirmation you send the client to confirm you took the order: "We confirm the transport order on the terms below."
| Part | What it holds |
|---|---|
| From / To | Your company and the client. |
| Your reference, Your order number | The client's reference and order number. |
| Our order number | The order number, or "given on confirmation" for an order not confirmed yet. |
| Route | The stops with their windows, contacts and pre-advice. |
| Goods | The goods lines with every ADR line, and the temperature. |
| Agreed freight | The freight, with "Payment within 30 days of the invoice." |
| Vehicle | The plates, when known. |
| Your contact person | The client's contact person on the order. |
| The closing | "Thank you for the order." and a Signature box. |
It never shows the carrier, the carrier's price, the margin or the internal note.

The history of prints
Each print is written in the order's history, for example "Printed: CMR draft (PL)", and a PDF download as "Order for the carrier downloaded as PDF (EN)". The same person printing the same paper in the same language within 10 minutes, with the order unchanged, adds no second line.
Good to know
- Papers are made from the order at the moment you print: correct the order first, then print again.
- The internal note never appears on any paper.
- Invoices have their own print menu with languages, copies and duplicates (see TMS invoices and receivables).
- When the organization is read-only because of an unpaid subscription, printing and PDF downloads still work.
