In Datatruck, the Backtrack Calculation feature allows you to recalculate a driver’s salary if an admin, accountant, or dispatcher changes the driver’s payment tariff.

The following steps would help you to do it:

Step 1: Changing Driver's Tariff

• Navigate to HR Management, and go to Drivers section.
  
  

• In the “Active Driver” interface, click on a driver’s “First Name” or “Last Name” to open the driver’s profile. In our case it would be “Behzod Sharipov”.
  
  

• In the Driver Profile, click on the Accounting tab.
  
  

• In the Accounting tab, hover over the current tariff field to reveal an "X" button. Click it to remove the existing tariff.
  
  

• In the field, you may add the new tariff or enter desired tariff’s title from the dropdown.  

• Click on the tariff title to choose it then click on the Save button on the top right corner.
  
  

Step 2: Backtrack Calculation on Pending Trips

Once you save the changes, you can apply them to recalculate the driver's payment for a specific trip. Let's first look at how to recalculate payment for a trip that is not in settlement(Pending).

• Tap on the Backtrack Calculation

• There should be a new screen showing all the Pending trips.

• Locate your desired, in our case trip TR-006505-01, and confirm its current tariff.

• After verifying the current tariff, return to the Accounting section and click on Backtrack Calculation. In the Pending tab, select the trip and click the Re-calculate button.
  
  

• Once you receive the Success message, navigate to the trip you just recalculated to verify that the changes have been applied correctly.

As you can see, changes were applied and driver’s tariff and payment for that particular trip was changed.

Step 3: Backtrack Calculation on In Settlement Trips
Here’s how to use Backtrack Calculation for trips that are already In Settlement. 

• Tap on the Backtrack Calculation button

• There would be In Statement tab. Click on that. 

• In the In Statement tab, you may see that Billing Status of the trip is UNPOSTED. It shows that the trip already has been added to a salary batch.
  
  

• You can now open any trip’s details to check its current tariff and the associated salary batch ID.
  
  

• After verifying the current tariff, return to the Accounting section and click on Backtrack Calculation. In the In Statement tab, select the trip and click the Re-calculate button.

• Once you receive the Success message, navigate to the trip you just recalculated to verify that the changes have been applied correctly.

You can also see that the changes have been applied to the Salary Batch.

(NOTE: You cannot apply Backtrack Calculation after the driver's settlement, containing the trip, has been posted.)

Posted settlement:

Trips in the IN SETTLEMENT tab are not available cause trips in the Posted Settlement won’t be available for recalculation. For that you would have to use UNDO on the driver's settlement and the status will change to UNPOSTED from POSTED.

Changing a driver’s tariff ensures their pay remains accurate and aligned with company policies and evolving work conditions. This is how you would be able to do it.
