=== 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
 +
 
 +
Phone calls used to escalate absence of space.
 +
 
 +
They manually update CT/Master record with the Ocean Status information they received.
-
Phase one will cover OOCL carrier only.
+
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
-
== Prerequisites ==
+
* 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] 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:

  • inbound and outbound locations

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

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] 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
