Function documentationAutomatic Status Updates (Multi-Pickup and Multi-Drop Scenario) Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When you set a status for a freight order with more than two transportation stops, the system automatically updates related statuses based on the status that you set.

The system provides additional logic compared to that described for the simple scenario (see Automatic Status Updates (Simple Scenario)). This logic is described below by using the following example.

You have three full container load (FCL) freight units with two transportation stages, which are all planned on one freight order:

  • Freight unit 1 contains two stages: A -> BB' -> C

  • Freight unit 2 contains one stage: B' -> C

  • Freight unit 3 contains one stage: A -> B

  • The freight order contains two stages: A -> BB' -> C

Note Note

In this example, B is the inbound stop at which unloading takes place, whereas B' is the outbound stop at which loading takes place.

End of the note.

Features

Handling Execution Status and Cargo Receipt Status
  • When you set the handling execution status of the outbound stop to Departed, the system automatically sets the cargo receipt status of the items to Picked Up if it has not been set already.

    In the example, when you set the handling execution status of outbound stop A to Departed, the system automatically sets the cargo receipt status of the items of freight unit 1 and freight unit 3 to Picked Up.

  • When you set the handling execution status of any outbound stop to Departed, the system automatically sets the handling execution status of the previous outbound stops to Departed if any previous stops exist. If there are items for which the destination stops match the previous stops, the cargo receipt status for these items is automatically set to Delivered. If there are items for which the source stop matches the previous stops, the cargo receipt status is automatically set to Picked Up.

    In the example, when you set the handling execution status of outbound stop B' to Departed, the system automatically sets the handling execution status and the cargo receipt status of the items of freight unit 2 to Picked Up and all items assigned to freight unit 3 to Delivered. The handling execution status of outbound stop A is automatically set to Departed.

  • When you set all items to Picked Up on document header level, the system automatically considers the current stop to be the outbound stop corresponding to the last location at which freight units are picked up (in this example, the outbound stop B').

  • When you set all items to Delivered or On Hand or you select Set to Quantity Received as Planned on document header level, the system automatically considers the current stop to be the inbound stop corresponding to the last location at which freight units are delivered (in this example the inbound stop C). The handling execution status of the items assigned to the current inbound stop is automatically set to Unloaded and the handling execution status of the stop is automatically set to Unloaded. All previous outbound stops are automatically set to Departed and the corresponding items (in this example, the items assigned to freight unit 3) are automatically set to Delivered.
