FOV (Freight on Value) Form Management

The FOV (Freight on Value) form is a critical document used to officially declare the monetary value of goods being transported and to apply any relevant freight or insurance charges based on this declared value. This form serves as a vital legal and financial document, offering protection to both the transporter and the client in case of loss or damage.

BSTD’s FOV module empowers you to generate these forms digitally, effortlessly link them to specific customers or shipments, and maintain a clear, accessible record for future audits or claims processing.

Creating FOV Forms

To create a new FOV form, users simply fill out the following intuitive sections:

  • Document Information: Includes the unique FOV form number, the date of creation, and any relevant reference numbers.
  • Customer Details: Essential information such as the customer's name, mobile number, address, and their GSTIN (optional) for tax compliance.
  • Goods Declaration: A clear description of the goods, their quantity, and the total declared value for freight and insurance purposes.
  • Vehicle & Shipment Information: Details about the truck number, driver's name, the associated LR (Lorry Receipt) number, and the shipment route.
  • FOV Charges: Specify the percentage or flat rate to be applied, which is then calculated based on the declared value of the goods.
  • Signature & Notes: A section for company representative and customer declaration/approval, often including fields for digital signatures and any additional important notes.

Many values are auto-calculated where applicable, streamlining data entry. Additionally, digital templates are utilized to ensure consistency and reinforce your company's branding across all generated forms.
