GPS tracking is a regulatory requirement for delivery. These costs are categorized as selling/delivery expenses and are subject to 280E disallowance for dispensaries.
Practitioner & Systems Framework
💻 ERP Architecture
If the business has multiple delivery vehicles, track these costs by vehicle ID as sub-accounts.

Regulators often check for continuous GPS tracking logs; missing fees in the ledger suggest the service may have lapsed.
