The Essential Guide to Report Categories: RESERVATIONS
The Reservation report delivers a centralized and detailed operational overview of your fleet activity. This report combines all crucial information in one place, allowing you to audit the complete cycle of every booking: from reservation information (ID, status, start time, end time) to the assigned asset (Vehicle ID, status, service group, and location). Furthermore, it directly links the transaction to key stakeholders via user information and the associated invoice information.
1. Reservation Details (The Core Event)
These fields capture the full lifecycle and usage metrics of the reservation.
| Data Field | Purpose |
| Reservation Id | Unique identifier for the trip/booking. |
| Reservation Type / Status | Defines the nature (e.g., Rental, Test Drive) and the current state (e.g., Active, Completed, Cancelled). |
| Reserved Time Start/End | The booked or scheduled time window. |
| Used Time Start/End | The actual time the asset was picked up and dropped off. |
| Reservation End/Start Time Delta | Calculated difference between reserved time and actual used time (key for efficiency). |
| Reservation Distance Used | Total distance traveled during the reservation. |
| Reservation Odometer Start/End | The mileage recorded at the beginning and end of the trip. |
| Fuel Level Start/End, Charge Level Start/End | Metrics tracking fuel/battery status for maintenance and billing accuracy. |
| Reservation Vehicle Id / Vin, User Id, Invoice Id | Linking IDs to associated records. |
| Reservation Offline Reason | Explanation if the vehicle was taken offline (e.g., maintenance, accident). |
2. Vehicle and Asset Context
These groups categorize the asset and its organizational context for fleet management analysis.
| Category | Key Fields | Purpose |
| Vehicle | id, Vin, Name, License Plate, Status | Core identification and current operational status of the specific vehicle. |
| Vehicle Type | Year, Make, Model, Trim, Powertrain, Asset Class, Category | Details for analyzing performance and popularity by vehicle class (e.g., "Sedan" vs. "Truck"). |
| Vehicle Group (Service Group) | id, Name, Time zone, Drive Access | Organizational groupings for logistical and management purposes. |
| Fleet | Fleet Id, Name, Label | Defines which organizational fleet the vehicle belongs to. |
| Location | Id, Address, City, Name, State, Country | Defines the geographical location of the reservation pick-up or drop-off. |
| Organization | Organization Name | The name of the entity managing the asset. |
3. User and Financial Context
These categories link the trip to the responsible party and the billing record.
| Category | Key Fields | Purpose |
| User | ID, Email, First/Last Name, License State, Address City | Contact and demographic information for the individual who made the reservation. |
| Invoice | Id, Sub total, Tax, Due/Processed Time | Core financial data linking the reservation to its billable amount. |
| Invoice | Paid credit/Card, Cost Fees, Disputed, Past Due | Itemized payment status and costs associated with billing. |
1. Reservation Aggregates (Utilization Metrics)
These metrics measure how efficiently and frequently the assets are being used.
| Aggregate Metric | Calculation / Significance |
| Reservation Count | Total number of reservations completed or initiated. |
| Reservation Count Drill | A second count, often used to drill down into a subset (e.g., canceled vs. completed). |
| Reservation Hour Duration | The sum of total usage time across all reservations ($\sum (\text{Used Time End} - \text{Used Time Start})$). |
| Reservation Used Distance Sum / Avg | Total distance driven and the average distance per trip (key for maintenance scheduling). |
2. Financial Aggregates (Revenue and Profit)
These sums, drawn from the associated invoices, are essential for financial reporting.
| Aggregate Metric | Significance |
| Invoice Paid Sum / Pre Auth sum | Total revenue successfully collected and funds currently reserved. |
| Invoice Unpaid sum / Past due Sum | Key metrics for Accounts Receivable (A/R) management and debt tracking. |
| Invoice Cost fees Sum / Disputed Sum | Total processing fees incurred and the total value of chargebacks/disputes. |
| Invoice Net Total Sum | The total revenue amount after discounts and taxes (key top-line metric). |
| Invoice Direct Costs / Margin | Total Margin, or profit, is calculated by taking the Invoice Sub Total Sum (the total value of goods/services sold) and subtracting your Direct Costs (what it cost you to provide them). |
