Which orders MoveBoard updates when you change truck speed, packing or the price calendar — and which it never touches.

Most settings changes apply to new quotes from then on. Three changes also update the open orders already in MoveBoard, so their quotes stay right.
Which orders count as open
New, New-Info, New-Date, New-Truck, Follow Up, Can Book Online, draft and Postponed orders.
Never touched: Reserved and Booked orders — their price has been agreed — and closed ones (Completed, Cancelled, Expired, lost leads, Archived). Days whose move date is already past are left alone too.
The three changes
| You change… | What's updated | When |
|---|---|---|
| Truck speed (Travel Time) | The travel time of open hourly days, from each day's stored route at the new speed. | In the background, within a few minutes of saving. |
| Packing or unpacking time (Mover Speed) | The labor hours of open orders that have partial or full packing or unpacking. | In the background, within a few minutes of saving. |
| The price calendar | The labor and travel rates and minimum hours of open hourly days on the dates you changed. | Only if you say so: MoveBoard asks Update the open orders? and tells you how many days and orders. Choose Update them or Keep them as they are. |
What's never overwritten
- A value someone typed by hand on an order (a red number) stays as typed — see Typed values vs calculated values.
- Days with the calculator switched off.
- Long-distance and flat-rate days, which don't charge travel by the hour.
You can see what changed
Each updated order gets a line in its Order Log, for example: Repriced: truck speed changed to 45 mph. Travel Time 1 h 0 mins → 1 h 15 mins; quote $1,200.00 → $1,260.00 or Repriced: price calendar changed for 10/03/2026. Labor rate $169.00 → $189.00; quote $1,200.00 → $1,260.00.
