Backtrack Calculation — Salary Recalculation

  • Updated

What it does: Backtrack Calculation lets you apply a newly updated payment tariff to trips that were already calculated under the old tariff. This works for both pending trips and trips already added to a salary batch (unposted settlements only).

 

Prerequisites — Update the Driver's Tariff First

Before running a recalculation, you must update the driver's payment tariff. Both methods below depend on this step.

  1. Go to HR Management > Drivers

  2. Click the driver's first or last name to open their profile

  3. Click the Accounting tab

  4. Hover over the current tariff field and click the X to remove it

  5. Type or select the new tariff from the dropdown

  6. Click Save (top right corner)



 

Method 1: Recalculate from the Driver's Profile

Use this method to recalculate one or more trips — whether they are pending or already in a salary batch.

Step 1 — Open Backtrack Calculation
In the driver's Accounting tab, click the Backtrack Calculation button.


 

Step 2 — Choose the correct tab

  • Pending tab — for trips not yet in any settlement

  • In Statement tab — for trips already added to an unposted salary batch

Step 3 — Select the trip and recalculate
Find the trip, select it, then click Re-calculate.


 

Step 4 — Confirm
When the Success message appears, open the trip to verify the new tariff and updated pay are reflected correctly. For In Statement trips, also check that the salary batch totals have updated.



Method 2: Recalculate from Within a Settlement

Use this method when you are already working inside a specific salary batch and need to recalculate a trip directly from there.

Step 1 — Open the salary batch
Go to  Salary Batches and open the relevant settlement.

Step 2 — Select the trip
Check the box next to the trip(s) you want to recalculate.

Step 3 — Click "Recalculate trips"
The button in the top-right area of the trip table shows the count of selected trips (e.g., Recalculate trips (1)). Click it.


 

Step 4 — Confirm
Verify the updated Total Pay and Driver Gross amounts reflect the new tariff.


 

Important Limitations

Posted settlements cannot be recalculated. If the settlement has already been posted, the trips in the In Statement tab will be grayed out and unavailable. To unlock them:

  1. Open the settlement

  2. Click Undo to revert it from Posted > Unposted

  3. Then run Backtrack Calculation as normal
