Automatic Closure of a Trip

Automatic closure of trips can be configured. Often companies configure automatic closure of trips on one of the following events:

Calling of Close Trip API

Close Trip API can be called from any ERP system. An ERP event can be identified as the trigger for the API.

Refer: https://freighttiger.gitlab.io/api-docs/#/Close%20Trip/post_saas_trip_close .

In this case, the mode of closure is set as “API”.

1. You can pass any timestamp in the Close Trip API which is post Trip Creation time.

2. You can also send a past date for trip closure. For instance, if the GRN has happened yesterday and you want to call Close Trip API now with yesterday's date and time, you can pass the respective timestamp in the Close Trip API.

How can Trip Close API be consumed when the vehicle re-reports and a new trip is created with the same vehicle?

You may consume our Get Multiple Trip API with vehicleNumber as parameter for checking if any trips with “OPEN” status exist for the vehicle and close this trip by triggering Close Trip API for the same.
