What this guide helps you do
Create one internal job from a normalised provider record. The instructions below follow the supplied module’s controller, form and model rules, including server-side validation and downstream effects.
Follow these steps
- Check the external record and provider.
- Verify no internal job already has the provider/external ID.
- Select Import.
- Go to the new internal job.
- Check source, external reference, addresses, receiver, commercial fields and payload hash.
- Complete missing required data before dispatch.
Fields and options
This action uses the values already stored on the selected source record. Review that record before continuing.
Rules and limits
- Duplicate provider/external ID combinations are protected.
- The saved payload hash supports change/evidence comparison.
- Imported data must still satisfy local dispatch rules.
Check it worked
- The source record, status/history and any downstream notification, provider, POD or finance record should agree after the action.
Security, audit and operational checks
- Use the exact record and least-privilege role before changing any state.
- Verify the saved record after every action; a browser message alone is not evidence that every downstream step completed.
- Use protected document and image routes rather than exposing server filesystem paths.
- Keep customer, driver, provider, financial and credential data within the authorised workflow.
- For provider, finance, employment, transport and compliance decisions, follow the organisation’s authorised professional process.
Do not bypass the code flowDo not force database values, invent a status, mark a job completed without signed POD evidence, or expose encrypted credentials to make a screen appear successful.
