Misc R

• Def: USA Domestic EA shipments - EA shipments from one point to another within US/Canada. TMS is used to manage these.

• Def: International EA shipments - EA shipments from one continent to another. Each shipments represents the following chain:
  • export trucking segment (origin door to port)-> Air (port to port) -> import trucking segment (port to destin door)
  • export trucking segment (origin door to port)-> Ocean (port to port) -> import trucking segment (port to destin door)

• EA Shippers can be divided into categories:
  • create/view only USA Domestic shipments
  • create/view only International shipments
  • create/view both

• "PO issued by" logic will remain. PO issued by list will be complemented by several more items to cover International moves.

Shipper can or can not choose MOT

• Shipper profile should have 2 options:
  • Shipper can choose Air or Ocean
  • Shipper can not

In 2nd case he needs to enter info in the form "ready for FCL" (if it is FCL type in case of ocean)

Truck MOTs for Shipper: LDP vs Domestic

Shippers will have the following options to choose from for Truck related moves:

• LDP FCL - corresponds to Truck Ocean
• LDP LCL - corresponds to Truck Ocean
• LDP Air - corresponds to Truck Air
• Domestic - corresponds to Truck Domestic (TMS and non TMS options are regulated through Client Company profile)

If Shipper enters FCL then what type of FCL ?

Shipper can not decide MLB vs AW (submode). Operator needs to make this decision.

Same situation is for LCL vs Client Consol.

Possible solution:

• Let Shipper select btw FCL and LCL
• Report for jag on FCL vs LCL (DB Rep)
• Jag Op will open CT and see it as MOT=Undefined but with indication of Shippers MOT (FCL vs LCL).
• Then Jag Op will set "submode"

Auto approval for Shippers

Some Shippers will have auto approval just for Air some just for Ocean.

FCL mode for Shipper

Shipper should choose between FCL and LCL. In case he selected FCL then:

• he must define commodity per container
• he must define commodity for each container in one line
• he must indicate type/size of container

Questions and Not Confirmed Requirements

• Choice of MOT:
  • a) We assume that Shipper is making decision on what MOT to use at the moment of ASN creation
  • b) Planner can not change that

• What list of MOTs to present to Shipper and how to map those into CT2 internal list of MOT. Assumption:
  • (Shipper MOT -> internal MOT)
  • Air -> same
  • LCL -> same
  • FCL -> FCL(AW) or FCL(MLB) ?
  • Truck FTL > Truck Domestic
  • Truck LTL > Truck Domestic

• Do we need to offer choice of Client Consol, Truck Air and Truck Domestic? I assume not. If yes then what is the logic?

• List of additional fields on ASN Form:
  • MOT single select
  • for FCL:
    • cont size single select
    • cont type single select
    • and NOTE: define commodities for each container in ONE line only
  • for FTL:
    • truck size single select
    • and NOTE: define commodities for each truck in ONE line only

• Consider case when one shipper serves >1 client company

• PU and Del location single selects on ASN form. Obviously should not show all options avail in CT2. Logic/Solution TBD.

• "Approval type" for specific mode (auto vs basic/super, etc) - is it a property of Client Company or Client Company/Shipper combination?

• Supply chain is defined / associated with Client Company E0, right?
