Function documentationFreight Order Security Status Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

This function determines whether the security status of all of the freight units assigned to a freight order is secure or not secure.

A freight order, when created, has the security status “Initial”. A user must set the freight order security status to either Secure or Not secure. Once a user sets the freight order security status the system records the identity of the user and the date and time at which the user made the assignment.

The Regulated Agent Code (RAC) of the carrier can determine the security status of a freight order. A freight order identifies the carrier and, where that carrier uses a subcontractor, the executing carrier. Depending on the laws in your country, the RAC of a carrier, executing carrier, or carrier who has signed a valid haulier agreement can be an indicator that the freight order is secure. If an executing carrier is defined for a freight order, the system determines the RAC value for that executing carrier from Master Data. Otherwise, the system uses the RAC of the carrier.

A carrier with a valid regulated agent code, is permitted to transport cargo under secure conditions and hence keep the security status of the individual cargo intact. However this has to be verified upon delivery, for example, an employee must inspect any seal change and verify that it is appropriately documented. If there are any irregularities, all cargo is considered as not secure and the business user must record this in the system.

Prerequisites

You have defined freight order types in Customizing for Transportation Management under   Freight Order Management   Freight Order   Define Freight Order Types  .

Activities

Once you have created a freight order, you can either first set the freight order’s air cargo security status to Not Secure and then set its Manifest Status to Created, or alternatively, first set its Manifest Status to Created, and then set its air cargo security status to Not Secure. At all times the last user to change the Cargo Security Status is recorded.

First set the Security Status to not Secure and then set the Manifest Status to Created

  1. You set the Security Status of the freight order to Not Secure.

  2. The system records the assignment and records you as the user responsible for changing the freight order security status.

  3. You set the Manifest Status of the freight order to Created.

  4. The system asks you to confirm that you want to change the Air Cargo Security Status of assigned freight units to Not Secure. If you confirm:

    1. The system sets the Air Cargo Security Status of all assigned freight units to Not Secure.

    2. The system deletes the Country-Specific Security Status for all assigned freight units.

    3. The system records you as the user responsible for changing the air cargo security status of all assigned freight units.

    4. If the affected freight units are assigned to air bookings, these air bookings are blocked for execution as the freight units are now not secure.

  5. Otherwise: The Manifest Status remains unchanged.
