Core needs is to automate the following:

# sending  Shipping Instructions to carrier
# sending  Shipping Instructions to carrier
# receiving updates from carrier

-
== Business Analysis and Requirements ==
 
=== Current Biz Process ===
=== Current Biz Process ===
-
Currently operators book with and get updates from ocean carriers manually. After that they manually update CT/Master record with the information they received.
+
Currently operators submit BR/SI to ocean carriers through the following options:
-
=== Phases ===
+
* online systems (OOCL, CargoSmart)
 +
* emails, xls
-
Phase one will cover OOCL carrier only.
+
Phone calls used to escalate absence of space.
-
== Solution ==
+
They manually update CT/Master record with the Ocean Status information they received.
-
=== Admins and Codes ===
+
There are some specifics across the offices and operators/client companies:
-
==== Ocean Status Admin ====
+
* In HK Shipper is required to send BR/SI to Jag so then Jag forwards these docs to Carrier with minor changes
-
* GLN FTP credentials: url, uname, pwd
+
* Some clients make decisions about what cargo to ship in the last moment. In such cases list of CTs in Master rec can be finalized also in the last moment. (HK and Arden in NY)
-
* update frequency in secs
+
-
* on/off switch for transmission/receiving each of four types of messages
+
-
* List of steamshiplines participating: On/Off switch
+
-
* email notification groups
+
-
==== Container Type Admin ====
+
== Solution ==
-
===== Container Type ISO Code =====
+
=== Phases ===
-
In Admin > Transportation > Container Size/Type
+
Phase one will cover possibly OOCL carrier only.
-
If D2L codes are same as ISO then:
+
=== Admin ===
-
+
-
* Rename "D2L codes" into "ISO code"
+
-
If D2L codes are NOT same as ISO then:
+
Add UI Admin for Ocean Status Module.
-
* add additional field "ISO code", same format/validation
+
See list of controls below:
-
In both cases:
+
==== Admin Controls ====
-
===== Reefer Indicator =====
+
===== FTP Credentials =====
-
Add "Reefer Indicator" attribute to container types. Values: "Y" or "No"
+
? Should we also have a choice of protocol/port or post it as a constant?
-
==== Steamshipline Admin ====
+
* '''Address''' (sub-domain name?)
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
* contract number+account bullet to Steamshipline entity (lane specific)
+
* '''Login'''
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
==== Misc Constants ====
+
* '''Password'''
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
* '''AMS SCAC Code''' -  SCAC/ACI Code.  For USA trade, this is a code with normally 4 digits for AMS filing, we need this code to submit AMS filing and Jaguar is registered. Our AMS SCAC code is '''JAFR'''.
+
Define above for:
 +
* test and prod environments (could be different)
 +
* inbound and outbound locations
-
=== HTS Feature ===
+
... need to finalize above with Misha/AK/Vlad?
-
What:
+
===== Frequency =====
 +
 +
Frequency (in min) we run Process that sends outgoing messages and checks for incoming
 +
* numerical / min = 1 / max = 1440  [Note: 1440 min = 24 hours]
-
* Add this field to commodity table (for each line): HTS Number
+
===== Steamshiplines =====
-
(commodity customs code). See http://www.foreign-trade.com/reference/hscode.htm
+
-
* This field should be presented and (be required only) for records that will be booked/processed through EDI
+
Defines list of carriers that are currently connected for EDI exchange
-
* For both ASN and CT records
+
* multiselect
-
How: (ideas):
+
==== Connecting through VAN vs connecting directly ====
-
* UI: combobox? tree?
+
We are still considering options as far as how integrate:
-
* how to upload into system and how to maintain it there?
+
* option 1) through VAN
-
* for ASN recs entered by Shipper on Client 
+
* option 2) directly to Steamshiplines
 +
** in this case [[#FTP Credentials]] and [[#Process Frequency]] are defined per Steamshipline
-
==== HTS Automation ====
+
==== Admin Misc ====
-
* postpone for phase 2?
+
'''Location/name''' of this Admin in CT2 menu:
-
* remember link btw HTS and SKU as it gets entered so we can do "auto-suggest"?
+
* Admin > EDI > Ocean EDI
-
* upload xls with link btw SKU and xls? (PO Issued By specific?)
+
* move all EDIs to Admin > EDI (EUAN/Air Status, D2L, Trendset)
-
=== Changes in Master Object and Master Profile ===
+
'''Restrict access''' to this Admin (add an option to user access table)
-
==== New Container Fields ====
+
=== Message Transport Level and Scheduled Process ===
-
 
+
-
* '''RF Temperature''' // Format: 9999.99 // Temperature Requirement for RF containers.
+
-
** UI: add to container profile; textfield; default = TBD
+
-
 
+
-
* '''RF Temperature Unit''' //  C (Celsius) or F(Farenheit) // Unit of measurement
+
-
** UI: add to container profile; dropdown ; default = TBD;
+
-
 
+
-
Above needs to be presented/validated only for RF type of containers - use [[#Reefer Indicator]] to distinguish.
+
-
 
+
-
==== New Master Fields ====
+
-
 
+
-
Add new attributes to Master Entity:
+
-
 
+

* '''Documentation Cut Off Date''' // Date+Time // Last possible date documentation can be sent.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''CY open date''' // Date+Time // First possible date cargoes may be delivered to a ship or designated point.
+
-
 
+
-
* '''CY cut-off date''' - same as Cargo Cut Off Date?
+
-
 
+
-
* '''MBL Type''' // "original" or "express" // Defines what type of MBL is used. Takes one of two values: "original" or "express"
+
-
** UI: add to Master Gen Tab below "2. Move type/MBL", default to "original"
+
-
 
+
-
* '''AES Number''' // AN, 15 digits // aka Internal Transaction Number (ITN), id received from Automated Export System. The ITN consists of the letters “AES” followed by the ITN: for example, “AES X20080930987654. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automated_Export_System
+
-
 
+
-
* '''Wood packing material''' // "used" or "not used" // Any wooden packaging material is used or not, this is what we have to declare to the shipping line for every single booking to USA and Canada.
+
-
 
+
-
==== Master Context Menu ====
+
-
 
+
-
Add Booking Request button to initiate [[300 Booking Request]] message.
+
-
 
+
-
Message will be sent immediately and confirmation pop-up will be shown.
+
-
 
+
-
==== Master Doc Tab ====

+
-
* modify MBL template to accommodate EDI case (add new fields)
+
-
* on "generate report" send [[304 Shipping Instructions]] and generate pdf, show confirmation
+
-

[edit] Info

Mantis parent: 4172

Mantis Category: proj: OS

Wiki category: Category:Ocean Status - see all related wikis there

[edit] Terminology

  • Booking Request (BR) (aka 300) - document advising details of cargo and exporter's requirements of its physical movement (Estimated data).
  • Shipping Instructions (SI) (aka 304) - same as BR but Actual and more detailed data.
  • VAN - A Value-added Network (VAN) is a hosted service offering that acts as an intermediary between business partners sharing standards based or proprietary data. In the context of this project we use VAN as an intermediary between Jaguar and all carriers for message exchange.
  • Descartes - EDI vendor, VAN
  • Cargosmart - EDI vendor, VAN
  • GLN - VAN owned by Descartes

[edit] Business Analysis

[edit] Core Business Need

Core need is to automate the following:

  1. booking ocean with carrier
  2. sending Shipping Instructions to carrier
  3. receiving updates from carrier

[edit] Current Biz Process

Currently operators submit BR/SI to ocean carriers through the following options:

  • online systems (OOCL, CargoSmart)
  • emails, xls

Phone calls used to escalate absence of space.

They manually update CT/Master record with the Ocean Status information they received.

There are some specifics across the offices and operators/client companies:

  • In HK Shipper is required to send BR/SI to Jag so then Jag forwards these docs to Carrier with minor changes
  • Some clients make decisions about what cargo to ship in the last moment. In such cases list of CTs in Master rec can be finalized also in the last moment. (HK and Arden in NY)

[edit] Solution

[edit] Phases

Phase one will cover possibly OOCL carrier only.

[edit] Admin

Add UI Admin for Ocean Status Module.

See list of controls below:

[edit] Admin Controls

[edit] FTP Credentials

? Should we also have a choice of protocol/port or post it as a constant?

  • Address (sub-domain name?)
    • textbox
    • format/min/max TBD
  • Login
    • textbox
    • format/min/max TBD
  • Password
    • textbox
    • format/min/max TBD

Define above for:

  • test and prod environments (could be different)
  • inbound and outbound locations

... need to finalize above with Misha/AK/Vlad?

[edit] Frequency

Frequency (in min) we run Process that sends outgoing messages and checks for incoming

  • numerical / min = 1 / max = 1440 [Note: 1440 min = 24 hours]
[edit] Steamshiplines

Defines list of carriers that are currently connected for EDI exchange

  • multiselect

[edit] Connecting through VAN vs connecting directly

We are still considering options as far as how integrate:

[edit] Admin Misc

Location/name of this Admin in CT2 menu:

  • Admin > EDI > Ocean EDI
  • move all EDIs to Admin > EDI (EUAN/Air Status, D2L, Trendset)

Restrict access to this Admin (add an option to user access table)

[edit] Message Transport Level and Scheduled Process

[edit] Message Transport level

FTP protocol will be used on a transport level.

Location of Inbound and Outbound folders TBD (Vendor speccific).

FTP credentials are defined in #Ocean Status Admin.

[edit] Message process

One process will send/receive all messages accordingly to #Process Frequency defined in Admin.

[edit] Messages

[edit] Message Flow

Message Exchange Scenario that covers all message types: 

day 1:  (Booking Request 300)          JAG -> VAN -> CARRIER
.
day 1:  (Booking Confirmation 301)    JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER 
. 
day 3:  (Booking Update 300)          JAG -> VAN -> CARRIER
.
day 3:  (Booking Confirmation 301)    JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER
.
day 10: (Shipping Instructions 304)   JAG -> VAN -> CARRIER 
.
day 15: (Shipment Status 315)         JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER
.
day 35: (Shipment Status 315)         JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER
.
Note: VAN is optional

Specifics of each message are described in wikis below.
