What happens when one order leaves on several missions?
The “By order” view, the second mission that picks up the unassigned freight, the order card rebuilt from its missions and the relay line in Marrakech.
What you get
- One order, as many missions as you need, without re-entering the freight.
- An order card that always matches its missions.
- Every change of driver, tractor or trailer en route, on the mission card.

A customer order is a commitment: get the cargo from A to B. Sometimes it goes in one mission. Sometimes the cargo doesn't fit, or the customer wants half right away — and you need two missions. Both stay on the same order.
On the Missions screen, the "By order" view groups missions under their order: this one has two.
Twenty-two tonnes on the order: the first mission carries twelve. The other ten aren't entered a second time: a mission created from the order picks up, by itself, all the freight that isn't assigned yet.
The order card keeps no copy: its list of missions and its load are rebuilt from the missions themselves every time you open it. So it can't go stale, even when someone edits a mission without opening the order.
And a mission is no longer "one truck and one driver from start to finish." In Marrakech, the driver and the tractor changed: the relay line on the mission card shows only what changed, and the trailer, which stayed the same, isn't even mentioned there. Three months from now, when the customer asks who was driving at three in the afternoon, the answer will be right here.
One order, as many missions as it takes — and a card that always matches reality.
