1. What the Hauls and PI page is for

Two things EVE cannot tell the app: stock you moved, and planetary products you made.

Hauls and PI (under Stock in the sidebar) has two tabs:

Hauls and transfers
Materials you moved from one structure to another, or from one of your characters to another. What it cost to move them (freight) is added to their cost, so your margins include hauling.
PI output
Planetary products you made on your own colonies, for example to build your own fuel blocks. EVE shows colony layouts but not what they produced, so you record it here.

Both tabs list what you have recorded, filtered by Character and a date range (24h, 7d, 30d, 90d, This month or Custom; 30 days by default). The button at the top right records a new one: Record haul or Record PI output. You can also record both from the Record menu in the header on any page (Haul or transfer and PI output).

You only need these if they apply to you
If all your stock sits in one structure and one character, you never need to record a haul. If you buy fuel blocks or planetary materials instead of making them, you never need PI output.

2. Recording a haul or transfer

Do this when you move materials, so the app knows where they are and what moving them cost.

A haul is one character moving stock between locations (for example from the refinery to the reaction Tatara). A transfer moves stock to another of your characters, with or without changing location. Both use the same form.

  1. 1
    Open the form
    Press Record haul on the page, or Record→Haul or transfer.
  2. 2
    Pick the characters
    From character holds the stock now; To character will hold it afterwards. Pick the same character in both for a haul.
  3. 3
    Pick the locations
    From location and To location list your registered facilities. Leaving From location on Any location takes the stock wherever it is; leaving To location on No location records no destination.
  4. 4
    Add the items
    Pick an item and type its Quantity. The volume per unit shows under the item. adds another line; deletes one. Each item may appear only once.

3. How freight is added to cost

Freight is part of what your materials cost, so it reaches your job margins.

  1. 1
    Volume
    The app works out the total volume moved, using each item's packaged volume (moon materials 0.05 m³, intermediates 0.2 m³, fuel blocks 5 m³).
  2. 2
    Freight
    Freight = total m³ × your rate, or the fixed amount you entered.
  3. 3
    Share by volume
    Each item gets a share of the freight in proportion to the space it took. Bulky items carry more of it.
  4. 4
    New lots at the destination
    The moved units leave their old lots and become new lots at the destination, with the old cost per unit plus their freight per unit. They keep whether they were self-sourced and where they came from.

Example: you move 10,000 m³ at 500 ISK per m³. Freight is 5,000,000 ISK. An item at 0.05 m³ per unit gets 25 ISK per unit added to its cost.

Your default freight rate

Set it in Settings→Costing→Freight rate (ISK per m³) (0 until you change it). It is used whenever you leave the rate blank. Changing it only affects hauls you record afterwards; past hauls keep their freight. See Settings.

4. The hauls list

Every haul and transfer recorded in the chosen period, newest first.

The Character filter shows hauls where that character is either the sender or the receiver. Click a column heading to sort; Columns shows or hides columns (the haul number column # is hidden at first). Click a row to open the haul.

Hauled at
When the move happened (EVE time).
Kind
Haul: one character moved stock between locations. Transfer: stock went to another of your characters.
From → to character
Who held it before and after. A haul shows one character.
From → to location
Facility names link to the facility. A number means the location is not a registered facility; – means none was recorded.
Total m³
The volume moved.
ISK/m³
The freight rate applied. For a fixed amount, it is the amount divided by the volume.
Freight
The total freight added to the moved stock.
Notes
Your notes. Hover to read a long one.

Empty list? No hauls recorded means nothing in the period: widen the date range or press Record haul. No hauls for this character means the character filter hides them.

5. A haul's own page

Exactly what was moved and how the freight was spread.

The header shows Haul #N with its kind, the from and to locations, and the time. ← Hauls goes back to the list.

Freight
Total volume, Rate applied (ISK/m³) and the total Freight.
Characters
Who moved it, labelled Location move by one character or Transfer between characters, and your notes.
Items
One row per item: Quantity, Volume and its Freight share, with totals.
Lots moved
Each new lot at the destination (New lot) and the lot it was drawn from (From lot), with Unit cost before, Freight / unit and Unit cost after. Sourcing shows Self-sourced (mined, refined or made by you) or Bought. One item can come from several old lots, so it can have several rows. Click a lot number to open it.

There is no edit or delete for a haul. If you recorded one by mistake, record the reverse move (with freight 0), or correct the stock with Record→Stock adjustment.

6. Recording PI output

Give the planetary products you made a cost, so fuel blocks made from them are costed correctly.

Record PI output when the products reach a hangar the app can see, for example after you haul them up from the customs office. The cost per unit is the export tax you paid plus anything else you spent per unit.

  1. 1
    Open the form
    Press Record PI output on the PI output tab, or Record→PI output.
  2. 2
    Pick the character
    The Character whose hangar holds the products.
  3. 3
    Pick the item
    The Item list only offers planetary commodities.
  4. 4
    Enter the quantity
    How many units you exported.
  5. 5
    Enter the customs tax rate
    Customs tax rate is the export tax rate of the customs office you used, as a percentage (type 10 for 10%). It is required; type 0 if you paid none.
  6. 6

7. The PI output list

Every PI output you recorded in the period, and how much of it is left.

Each row is one lot of PI output. Click a row to open the lot and see what it went into.

Acquired
The time you recorded for the output.
Item
The product with its tier chip (P0 to P4).
Character
Who holds it.
Quantity
Units recorded.
Remaining
Units not yet used by jobs or sales.
Unit cash cost
Export tax plus extra cost per unit, as worked out above.
Unit market value
What a unit was worth at your valuation market when you recorded it.
Note
Your note.

Empty list? No PI output recorded is normal unless you make your own fuel blocks.

A PI output cannot be edited or deleted. To correct one, use Record→Stock adjustment to remove the wrong units and record the output again. See Stock adjustments.

Hauls and PI

Do I have to record every haul?

Record a haul when the move cost you something (so the cost reaches your margins) or when the app needs to know where stock is. Moves that cost nothing between places you do not track separately can be skipped. Transfers between characters must be recorded (or the contract reviewed as Transfer), otherwise the wrong character holds the stock in the app.

Recording a haul says “Not enough stock. Character … is short … of type …”.

The sending character has fewer units in the app's lots than you are moving, at the chosen From location. Set From location to Any location, or first record where the stock came from (purchase, refine, opening balance). The Reconciliation tab on Stock shows what is missing.

I changed the freight rate in Settings but old hauls did not change.

That is on purpose: a lot keeps the cost it was given. The new rate applies to hauls you record from now on.

I paid a courier contract to move my stock. How do I record it?

Record a haul with Fixed freight ISK and the courier reward as the total. The courier contract itself is treated as Ignored and never asks for a review, so nothing is counted twice.

Why is the location shown as a number?

The location is not one of your registered facilities. Add the structure on Facilities and it will show by name.

My PI product is not in the Item list.

The PI output form only offers planetary commodities (P0 to P4). Check the spelling; if it is a fuel block or another manufactured item, it is not PI output.

Why does PI output not use the market price as its cost?

The cost is what you actually spent: export tax and any extra per unit. The market price is kept as the lot's market value, so the difference shows up as value captured by sourcing on the Profit page. See cash and true margin.

  • 5
    Enter the freight
    Choose ISK per m³ and type a rate in Freight ISK per m³ (leave it blank for your default rate), or choose Fixed freight ISK and type the total in Freight ISK (total), for example a courier fee. Type 0 if the move cost nothing.
  • 6
    Add notes and the time
    Notes (optional) is free text. Hauled at is in EVE time (UTC) and defaults to now.
  • 7
    Record it
    Press Record. A message confirms Haul #N recorded with a View link to the haul's page.
  • Record hauls after the stock exists in the app
    A haul moves units the app already has lots for, oldest first. If the source character has fewer units (at the chosen From location, or with no recorded location) than you are moving, nothing is saved and the form shows Not enough stock. Record the purchase, refine or opening balance first, or pick Any location.

    Moving stock between your own characters by an in-game contract? Review that contract as a Transfer instead of recording it twice: see Contracts.

    Add other costs
    Extra cost per unit (ISK, optional): import tax and any bought inputs, per unit of output. Note (optional) for which colony it came from.
  • 7
    Set the time and record
    When is in EVE time. Press Record; a message links to the new lot.
  • How the cost is worked out

    EVE charges export tax on a fixed base value per tier of product, not on the market price. The app does the same:

    Unit cost = base value for the tier × your customs tax rate + extra cost per unit.

    P0 (raw)
    5 ISK
    P1
    400 ISK
    P2
    7,200 ISK
    P3
    60,000 ISK
    P4
    1,200,000 ISK

    Example: 1,000 units of a P2 product through a 10% customs office cost 7,200 × 10% = 720 ISK each. These base values are the defaults; they are under Settings→Costing→PI customs base values. PI output counts as self-sourced, like mined ore.
