Loading Type 1 Transaction Overview

A Loading Type 1 transaction records the loading of the agricultural product onto the truck for delivery after several Individual Buying transactions are completed at a buying station.

Loading Type 1 transactions are related to Offloading Type 1 transactions and are also related to Individual Buying transactions, allowing for more traceability of each Individual Buying transaction.

The Rural Sourcing Management mobile application allows the Buying Station Manager to record each sack or unit of product that is loaded onto the truck at the buying station. With Loading Type 1 transactions, the Buying Station Manager can select each Individual Buying transaction that has already been recorded and will be loaded onto the truck. At that time, he or she then can re-enter the sack weight, the number on each sack, the current quality for the product, and the destination.

Sample business context for using Loading Type 1 transactions:
  • A buying station has either collected a sufficient amount of agricultural product to bring to a warehouse, or a delivery truck arrives at the buying station to collect the agricultural product
  • The Buying Station Manager wants to track all sacks that are loaded onto the truck
  • The Buying Station Manager wants to know the overall number of sacks, the weight, and the current quality of the agricultural product that has been loaded onto the truck

Configuration is set up by the system administrator through the Web interface in conjunction with SAP personnel, as described in the Administration Guide.
