Procedure
If transport companies are instructed to deliver containers to the port, there is usually no container number in the order.
The transport order is initially sent without a container number.
If the container number is known when the container is picked up in the empty depot, it is posted by the transport company and added to the order manually.
There is now the option of automatically adding container numbers to the order.
If a status confirmation from the service provider is imported into the TMS, in which the container number is located, this can be written automatically in the order.
Basic data setting
ADMIN → STATUS TYPES → STATUS EVENTS → Status types tab
This requires an entry in Status types in the status code.
In order to determine where in the order the transmitted container number from the status confirmation is to be taken over, the following fills field rules are available in the status events:
- 040 - container number in goods (order)
- 041 - container number in goods (service order)
- 042 - container number in calculation tab
- 043 - container number in EDI status
So far, only one fills field rule could be stored per statuscode.
However, if more than one fills field rule should apply, these can now be entered separately in the lower area in the statuscodes for each mode and sector.
| Field | |
|---|---|
| Overwrite data | The field Overwrite data must be activated if data already recorded in the container line of the order is to be overwritten. |
| Status type | Status types in Status types in ADMIN. |
Fill field in the upper and lower area
WARNING:
If rules for a statuscode are stored in the lower area Fills field, the Fills field field in the upper area is no longer valid.
If no fills field rules are stored in the lower area, the upper fill field field still applies!
