Business Needs

Core need

This feature would allow for better optimization, by knowing the number of days to put off picking up shipments; to be able to add more pickups, in the future, to maximize the trucks capacity.

Requirements

This date feature should not be hard coded; it should be allowed to be managed in CT2 >> Admin >> Client App Admin - TMS tab. (As this would be to allow for the scalability of our current TMS solution, for us to provide to other client companies.)

This feature is for Non Jag users that have role, Planner set in their non jag user profile - see Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Core_Planner_Functionality.

The Cargo Due Date set, needs to be displayed inside of the CT record & logged in the history. This is for ALL client app roles (shipper, planner, client) & also is for Jag internal users.

• Internal app already has this field on the Gen Tab CT_bo#Cargo_due

Add this date field to Shipment Import xml mapping

Some questions asked to take into consideration:

Do we need to set a specific time (number of days) for when this date cannot be changed? N, but it should be like the hold with a date, where the date cannot be changed 72 hrs before the set date

Can the Approved for date be = to the due date? Y

Can any planner change this date or just super planners & those who are not subject to the double approval process? Y, keep the same functionality

How often can this date change or is it likened to the Hold with a date feature where date cannot be changed 72 hrs before the set date? Y, its the same functionality as the Hold with a date feature, where it cannot be changed 72 hrs before the set date

Core Functionality

Add/Display a Datebox to client app planner role for when user sets:

• Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Approve_Status

OR

• Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Hold_With_Approved_For_Pick_Up_On_Date_Status
  • Do not display if/when user sets: Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Hold_Without_Approved_For_Pick_Up_On_Date_Status

• Display when the status is changed to Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Approve_Status OR

Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Hold_With_Approved_For_Pick_Up_On_Date_Status.

• System should only allow the due date to be = or > than the CT_bo#Cargo_available & [CT_bo#Approved_For_Delivery_By_Date]] & CT_bo#Approved_On

KPI Reporting will be required to report/analyze on

• Created date to approval date
• Approval date to due date
• Actual delivery date vs due date (on time performance, variations etc) (this one is an internal requirement EA did not request it

but it has significant value)
