The Transport + Deliver integration controls are specific to each shipping carrier.
Services
The Services FastTab allows you to create capacity for third-party and/or private fleet carriers.
- Private Fleet Capacity: The Capacity field auto-populates with a count of the assets (that hold inventory) for the chosen carrier services operation.
- Third-Party Capacity: Enter a number greater than zero to set your third-party capacity.
You can then view capacity on the Rate Route Workbench.
Logistics Execution
The Logistics Execution FastTab offers these controls:
| FIELD | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Set Transportation Logistics Status | Click this button to open the Transportation Logistics Status form (see below). |
| Logistics Execution Enabled | Turn on this toggle to create logistics orders in Transport + Deliver for shipments using this carrier. |
| Logistics Interface Level | Select the level for auto-created logistics orders: Order or Shipment. |
| Interface Shipment Status | Select the shipment status that triggers the interface with Transport + Deliver. |
| Handling Unit Shipment Status | Select the shipment status for handling units interfaced with Transport + Deliver. |
| Is Third Party? | Turn on this toggle if the carrier is considered a third-party carrier. |
Transportation Logistics Status
Click Set Transportation Logistics Status to open the Transportation Logistics Status form.
Logistics Load Status
Use this section to configure the activity status based off the load status.
Any status changes are then pushed to Transportation + Deliver.
Logistics Shipment Status
Use this section to decide which shipment statuses coordinate with which logistics order/order lines statuses.
Example
When a shipment moves to an Open status, the associated logistics order/order lines move to a New status.
When the shipment moves forward to In Process, the logistics order/order lines move to a similar status, such as Picking/Pulling.
Mode of Delivery
For the shipping carrier integration to work properly, Transport + Deliver also needs a mode of delivery.
Associate the mode of delivery with customers so that when a sales order is created, the customer mode of delivery is automatically attached to the order.
Shipping Carriers
Modes of delivery are created when a new record is populated in the Services section of the Shipping carriers form.
Change Mode of Delivery
Click Change mode of delivery on the ribbon of the activity forms and workbenches to change warehouse-based demand on an activity to a different mode of delivery.
