Business Needs

Core need

This feature would allow for better optimization, by knowing the number of days to put off picking up shipments; to be able to add more pickups, in the future, to maximize the trucks capacity.

Requirements

This date feature should not be hard coded; it should be allowed to be managed in CT2 >> Admin >> Client App Admin - TMS tab, as an option to display or not to display. (This would be to allow for the scalability of our current TMS solution, for us to provide to other client companies.)

  • This feature is for Non Jag users that have role, Planner set in their non jag user profile - see Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Core_Planner_Functionality.
    • If Non Jag user has planner role with Cargo Due Date Field on AND basic planner role, this date field is mandatory and must be completed.
    • Also, the system should prevent non jag users with basic planner role from changing the Cargo Due Date set by super planner.
    • If Non Jag user has planner role with Cargo Due Date Field on AND super planner role, this date field is not mandatory to be completed.
  • This date needs to be sent to the TMS on the Shipment Import File. (xml mapping, see Data Dic mapping here 2229)
  • Allow the Approved for date to the same as the cargo due date, but it cannot be in the past
  • This date will also be required for KPI reporting/analysis.
    • Avg Time KPIs

Functionality

  • Provide option to turn on/off the Cargo Due Date Field on each planner role.
  • This cargo due date field is a Datebox

Suggested Solution

Summary

Cargo Due Date feature is entered to allow better optimization of truck utilization. It is a last possible date of shipment delivery and allows to Jaguar operator to know how long can be delayed shipment.

It is "PO issued by" specific. Showing the Cargo Due Date is an option for every "PO issued by" and can be managed from Admin section. It can be switched on/off only for double approval CT process which implies approving from Regular Planner and SuperPlanner. For single approval the showing of Cargo Due is not needed.

Admin part

"PO issued by"

"PO issued by" admin section contains a list of Companies that considered as "PO issued by".

  • For every "PO Issued by" can be set type of approval process (single or double).
  • For every company with double approving "Cargo Due Date" feature can be switched on/off.

Planner Role of Non-Jaguar user

Planner is a such user that can work with Cargo Due Date feature. So Non-Jaguar user should get Planner role and also should have a list of selected "PO Issued By". Planner can be assigned as Super Planner for "PO issued by" with double approval process.

Please note that check box will be unchecked and read only (grayed out) if "PO issued by" is associated with "Single approval" process.

Client part

Planner - Shipment List. New/Hold tabs

Cargo Due Date must be set during approval CT process which can be performed through:

  • change CT status from any status to Approve status
  • change CT status from any status to Hold with Approved for Pick Up On Date status

      • Columns - Add Header named Due Date, place in between "Appr on Date" & "Pickup Location". List on ALL 3 Tabs (Approved, Routed & Picked Up) with the date values set by planner user, if no value, leave blank

Date range validation

x? < date < y?

Cybertrax_2.1_Client_(requirements)#Hold_With_Approved_For_Pick_Up_On_Date_Status

Mandatory to set for basic but not for super

Note: in this case some CTs will have empty date (if super approves without setting this date before basic does anything)

This date Must visible / editable on appropriate CT details panels

Read only:

  • Client role, (?) Not yet approved for client role
  • Shipper role - on CT Shipment View (see IE below)
  • Planner role - On CT Shipment Vie (see IE below)

Editable:

  • operator role (internal) (until CT has load assigned)
  • basic planner (until status set to Approved or date is changed by Super)
  • super planner (until status set to Approved)

Integration with Descartes

Cargo due will be forwarded to TMS and 2 fields in TMS will be set accordingly - see below:

  • set Earliest Delivery Date equal to Cargo Due +/- X
    • X is to be set in Admin (in hours), default = + 9 hours
  • set Latest Delivery Date equal to Cargo Due +/- Y
    • Y is to be set in Admin (in hours), default = + 17 hours
