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.

Solution

Admin

Add the following entities into the system manageable through Admin or Property file:

  • GLN FTP credentials: url, uname, pwd
  • List of steamshiplines participating: On/Off switch
  • email notification groups
  • ISO container size/types
  • contract number+account bullet to Steamshipline entity (lane specific)
  • commodity customs codes table (selected when SKU is defined)

CT Editor

Add this attribute to commodity table (for each line):

  • HTS # (commodity customs code)
    • dropdown
    • list of codes is defined in Admin

Master Editor

Master New Fields

Add new fields:

  • Temperature Requirement (if RF containers are requested)
    • numerical from and numerical to
  • Cargo Cut Off Date
  • Documentation Cut Off Date
  • CY open date
  • CY cut-off date
  • MBL Type (original / express)
  • AES (Export Declaration #) ex USA
  • AMS / ACI code
  • Any wood packing material

Master Context Menu

Add Booking Request button to initiate GLN 300 message.

Master Doc Tab

  • modify MBL template to accomodate new fields
  • on "generate report" send GLN 304

Master Comments Tab

Post all events/updates related to all messages here.

Master Validations

  • Add required fields for transmissions - exact list TBD.
  • Add validations related to message sequencing:
    • prohibit sending Shipping Instructions before Booking Request

Messaging

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.

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.

Booking Request
  • see Booking Request 300
    • The shipper or forwarder can use this transaction set to reserve cargo space.
    • Also used for Booking Update and Booking Cancellation
Booking Confirmation
Ocean Shipping Instructions
  • see 304 Shipping Instructions
    • This message supplies the same information as the Shipper's Letter of Instruction. It provides all the information necessary to prepare and distribute a contract of carriage (ocean bill of lading and other shipping documents).
Shipment Status
  • 315 Shipment Status
    • This message is used to report status or event details (cargo receipt, departure and arrival) for individual shipments.

Message Exchange Scenarios

Scenario One (main):

1) Jag operator initiates Booking Request 300

        Jaguar -> GLN -> Steamshipline

2) Steamshipline responds with Booking Confirmation 301

        Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline 

3) Jag operator sends Ocean Shipping Instructions 304

        Jaguar -> GLN -> Steamshipline 

4) Steamshipline sends Shipment Status 315 with Actual Departure Date:

        Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline

5) Steamshipline sends Shipment Status 315 with Actual Arrival Date:

        Jaguar <- GLN <- Steamshipline

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
