Pickups

What is a Pickup?

Pickups represent instances when waste materials were collected from a specific location by a hauler. They encompass details such as the pickup date and the weight of the materials gathered. While pickups are invariably linked to a location, they can also be associated with services, work orders, and vendor invoice line items.

Pickups are created through one of four methods:

• Manual creation through the New Pickup form.
• Manual creation via Bulk Insert.
• Automatic creation from schedules of scheduled Commercial Services.
• Automatic creation from Vendor Invoice Line Items on Approved Vendor Invoices.

Fields on a pickup can be adjusted after its creation. Pickups that have been created or altered by a user won't be modified by automated processes, except when attaching line items from approved vendor invoices.
