* Harmonized System ('''HS''') Codes are part of a standardized number system to codify internationally traded commodities.
+
-
:* 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.

Under PO Issued By in ASN:
 +
 
 +

Info

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:

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


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

HTS field

HTS:

  • meaning: Harmonized System Code that is classifying commodity. Example: 2907.11.0000 is for Phenol (Hydroxybenzene) and its salts. More info: Ocean_Status_Misc#HTS
  • format:
    • option 1: XXXX.XX, X represents number from 0 to 9
    • option 2: XXXX.XX.XX, X represents number from 0 to 9
  • is an attribute of commodity table Commodity

HTS Functionality

  • for those CT records that correspond to Master that is used in EDI transmissions need additional column appear in CT Commodity table
  • If #HTS Spreadsheet is present then as user enters SKU system should auto-suggest HTS based on link in spreadsheet between SKU and HTS

HTS Spreadsheet

Under PO Issued By in ASN:

  • Add option to upload separate xls that contains a list of SKUs and corresponding HTS
  • Add option to upload "SKU to ASN Planner Map" with additional HTS column

All Message Types

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

Booking Request

See EDI 300

Booking Update and Cancellation

See EDI 300

Booking Confirmation

See EDI 301

Ocean Shipping Instructions

See EDI 304

Shipment Status

See EDI 315

Message Exchange Scenarios

Example 1
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

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
