Pro NumberThe Pro Number report will give you a breakdown of the Income & Expenses for a specific Pro Number. A common practice we've discovered is using Pro Numbers on fuel purchases. This practice will throw off your reports since it is highly unlikely that you fuel at the start of every trip and then fuel again at the start of the next trip. So if you are using this practice you will get a warning when running this and some other reports. This report in particular is thrown off by this practice.
For example you'll note in this report that there is no expense for fuel entered. The truck fueled on the previous trip and did not fuel during this trip. Since Pro Numbers are used with all fuel purchases there is not fuel calculation included in the MILEAGE COST that is reported on this trip. So the actual P/L Per Mile is not accurate.
Mileage Cost for this report is calculated by taking all the costs that are not assigned to a specific Pro Number and dividing them by all the miles that are run by all the trucks. This is similar to the CPM number used in the P&L by truck in the previous section and will gove you a more realistic number that includes general overhead in the report.
