Van Line Pro

Inventory defaults (truck and agent numbers)

Pre-fill the truck # and agent # on new jobs created on this device. Order and LOT numbers are always entered fresh.

If you use the same truck and agent number across jobs, Van Line Pro can pre-fill them on each new job so you don't retype them. You set them under Settings › Inventory Default Information.

Who this is for: Everyone. Unlike branding and export settings, any crew member can set their own inventory defaults. They're stored on your device, not shared with the company.

Set your defaults

  1. Open the Settings tab and tap Inventory Default Information.

  2. On the Inventory Defaults screen, fill in:

    • Truck # — the truck you're running.
    • Agent # (shown with the placeholder "Optional") — your agent number.

  3. Tap Save.

The footer explains: "Pre-fill a new job on this device, and update to whatever you last used. Order and LOT numbers are always entered fresh per job."

Result: The next new job you create on this device starts with the truck # and agent # already filled in. You can still change them on any individual job.

Good to know

  • These live on this device only. Inventory defaults are not synced to the cloud or shared with your teammates. Each device (and crew) keeps its own, because the truck in front of the customer is device-specific.
  • They follow the company. Defaults are kept per company. If your device joins a different company with a crew code, it won't carry a stale agent # across, since agent numbers differ per company.
  • They update to your last used. When you create a job, the truck # and agent # it uses become your new defaults automatically. You rarely have to open this screen after the first time.
  • Blank a field to stop pre-filling it. Clear the truck # or agent # and save, and new jobs stop pre-filling that field.

Why Order # and LOT # are never pre-filled

Order # and LOT # are deliberately left out of inventory defaults. They're unique to each shipment and must be entered fresh on every job. Pre-filling them would risk carrying one shipment's number onto another's legal inventory, so the app never does it.

Important: Always enter the Order # and LOT # for the shipment in front of you. They are part of the official inventory and can't be reused from a previous job.
