== 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.
 +
They manually update CT/Master record with the Ocean Status information they received.
-
== General and Preliminary ==
+
There are some specifics across the offices and operators/client companies:
-
==== General 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
-
Add UI Admin for:
+
* 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)
-
* FTP credentials: url, uname, pwd
+
== Solution ==
-
** outbound and inbound
+
-
** for test and prod envir
+
-
* Period (min)
+
=== Phases ===
-
* on/off switch for transmission/receiving each of four types of messages
+
Phase one will cover possibly OOCL carrier only.
-
* list of steamshiplines participating: On/Off switch
+
=== Admin ===
-
* email notification groups
+
Add UI Admin for Ocean Status Module.
-
* Location:
+
See list of controls below:
-
** Admin > EDI > Ocean Status
+
-
** move all EDIs to Admin > EDI (EUAN/Air Status, D2L, Trendset)
+
-
* Access: restrict access (add line to access table)
+
==== Admin Controls ====
-
==== Message Transport Level and Scheduled Process ====
+
===== FTP Credentials =====
-
===== Message Transport level =====
+
? Should we also have a choice of protocol/port or post it as a constant?
-
FTP protocol will be used on a transport level.
+
* '''Address''' (sub-domain name?)
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
Location of Inbound and Outbound folders TBD.
+
* '''Login'''
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
FTP credentials are defined in Admin.
+
* '''Password'''
 +
** textbox
 +
** format/min/max TBD
-
===== Message process =====
+
Define above for:
 +
* test and prod environments (could be different)
 +
* inbound and outbound locations
-
One process will send/receive all messages accordingly to frequency defined in Admin.
+
... need to finalize above with Misha/AK/Vlad?
 +
===== 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]
-
==== HTS Feature ====
+
===== Steamshiplines =====
-
'''Common info'''
+
Defines list of carriers that are currently connected for EDI exchange
-
* Harmonized System ('''HS''') Codes are part of a standardized number system to codify internationally traded commodities.
+
* multiselect
-
:* HS Code is a 6-digit number to identify basic commodities. It is the same for all countries and has following levels of specification:
+
-
::* 2-digit HS-Chapter. ''Example: '''29''' ORGANIC CHEMICALS.''
+
-
::* 4-digit HS-Headings. ''Example: '''2907''' phenols, phenol-alcohols.''
+
-
::* 6-digit HS-Subheadings. ''Example: '''290711''' Phenol (Hydroxybenzene) and Its Salts.''
+
-
:* Each country is allowed to add additional digits for duty or statistical purposes.
+
-
* Harmonized Tariff Schedule ('''HTS''') of the United States contains HS codes with additional subheadings (also units of quantity and rates of duty):
+
-
:* '''''2907.11.0000''' Phenol (Hydroxybenzene) and its salts'' [http://hts.usitc.gov/]
+
-
     
+
-
What:
+
==== Connecting through VAN vs connecting directly ====
-
* Add this field to commodity table (for each line): HTS Number
+
We are still considering options as far as how integrate:
-
(commodity customs code). See http://www.foreign-trade.com/reference/hscode.htm
+
* option 1) through VAN
 +
* option 2) directly to Steamshiplines
 +
** in this case [[#FTP Credentials]] and [[#Process Frequency]] are defined per Steamshipline
-
* This field should be presented and (be required only) for records that will be booked/processed through EDI
+
==== Admin Misc ====
-
* For both ASN and CT records
+
-
How: (ideas):
+
'''Location/name''' of this Admin in CT2 menu:
 +
* Admin > EDI > Ocean EDI
 +
* move all EDIs to Admin > EDI (EUAN/Air Status, D2L, Trendset)
-
* UI: combobox? tree?
+
'''Restrict access''' to this Admin (add an option to user access table)
-
* how to upload into system and how to maintain it there?
+
-
* for ASN recs entered by Shipper on Client 
+
-
===== HTS Automation =====
+
=== Message Transport Level and Scheduled Process ===
-
* postpone for phase 2?
+
==== Message Transport level ====
-
* remember link btw HTS and SKU as it gets entered so we can do "auto-suggest"?
+
-
* upload xls with link btw SKU and xls? (PO Issued By specific?)
+
-
== All Message Types ==
+
FTP protocol will be used on a transport level.

This is a list of EDI messages being used here to exchange info between Jaguar and Steamshiline through VAN - see below.

[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 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
