Business Needs and Requirements

Several CT could be "grouped". Motivation behind that:

• to be able to apply "same operation" to every CT with one click. For example you could change value of one CT field on multiple CT's
• generate pdf documents that "desribe" combined "values" from multiple CTs
• post comments into multiple CTs with one click
• see P/L report for combined CTs
• etc

Air and Ocean and Truck CTs sometimes needs to be grouped under Ocean or Air mode.

Technical Specification

Summary

Groups functionality consists of:

• Create Edit and List Groups Functionality
• Group related functionality in different parts of the system

Create Edit and List Groups Functionality

• CT Group entity has the following attributes:
  • Group number:
    • system generated
    • starts with GRP
  • Transport Mode:
    • possible values = {{all non-trucking modes}, Truck}
  • Client:
    • same entity as in Admin > Clients
  • List of CT#s:
    • the max # of CTs in the group = 40

• Group has a minimum of 2 members

• A group for which less than 2 CT's are attached to is "void" (no longer a group)

• [MOT lock] After CT becomes part of the group MOT on general tab must become read-only

• If a CT is added to a group then CT's client (E0), will be updated to client (E0) and Mode that the group is set to.

• Group with Transport Mode = any but "Trucking":
  • can be formed based on CTs with MOT: any
  • mode of CTs added: any
  • group's "MOT(mode)" parameter could be changed. Then all groups member CT's Client are "force-changed" to new value
  • If a CT is added to a group then CT's Mode, will be updated to client (E0) and Mode that the group is set to.

• Group with Transport Mode = "Trucking":
  • can be formed based on CTs with MOT: only truck CTs
  • mode of CTs added: only truck CTs could be added
  • "change" CT mode after CT is added to the group: no change
  • can we change to another MOT, say "air"? Yes
