Mantis parent: 4172

Mantis Category: Ocean Status

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

Definitions

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.

GLN - VAN owned by Descartes

Descartes - EDI vendor

Cargosmart - EDI vendor

Business Need

Core needs is to automate the following:

booking ocean with carrier
sending Shipping Instructions to carrier
receiving updates from carrier

Business Analysis and Requirements

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.

Phases

Phase one will cover OOCL carrier only.

Solution

General and Preliminary

General Ocean Status Admin

Add UI Admin for:

FTP credentials: url, uname, pwd
- outbound and inbound
- for test and prod envir

Period (min)

on/off switch for transmission/receiving each of four types of messages

list of steamshiplines participating: On/Off switch

email notification groups

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

Access: restrict access (add line to access table)

Message Transport Level and Scheduled Process

Message Transport level

FTP protocol will be used on a transport level.

Location of Inbound and Outbound folders TBD.

FTP credentials are defined in Admin.

Message process

One process will send/receive all messages accordingly to frequency defined in Admin.

HTS Feature

What:

Add this field to commodity table (for each line): HTS Number

(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
For both ASN and CT records

How: (ideas):

UI: combobox? tree?
how to upload into system and how to maintain it there?
for ASN recs entered by Shipper on Client

HTS Automation

postpone for phase 2?
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?)

Changes in Master Object and Master Profile

Master Doc Tab

detect that given master is a subject to EDI transmission (carrier is on the EDI list)
modify MBL template to accommodate EDI case (add new fields)
on "generate report" send 304 Shipping Instructions and generate pdf, show confirmation
Master Bill Of Lading

All Message Types

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

Message Exchange Scenarios

Example 1

day 1: (Booking Request 300)          JAG -> VAN -> CARRIER
.
day 1:  (Booking Confirmation 301)    JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER 
.
day 4:  (Shipping Instructions 304)   JAG -> VAN -> CARRIER 
.
day 15: (Shipment Status 315)         JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER
.
day 35: (Shipment Status 315)         JAG <- VAN <- CARRIER

Reporting and Notifications

Master Comments Tab

Post all events/updates related to all messages here:

Every time message was sent or received, content of the message, operator who initiated

Email Notifications

Notify group defined in Admin when these messages are received:

Booking Conf 301
Status 315

Reports

Option 1

Increment existing List Masters report to enable operator to look at EDI activity for desired group of Masters singled out by applying certain filters such as Steamshipline and Estimated day of Departure or port.

Add these filters to List Masters:

Add these output fields:

300 message Status: yet, sent
301 message Status: confirmed, rejected, conditionally accepted, pending
304 message Status: yet, sent
315 message status: there are 10-20 possible values, show the last received
more fields TBD

Option 2

Dashboard for exceptions (rejected messages, etc).

Details TBD.

Option 3

Impending cargo cut off report/dashboard.

Impending documents cut off report/dashboard

Log

Log all related events.

Human initiated:

send 300
send 304

EDI initiated:

received 301
received various 315
