Spreadsheet

There are 2 sections - see below.

Spreadsheet: Manifest Section

See Example on Figure 3.

  • This is a table.
  • Horizontally:
    • it consists of as many sections as there are CTs (originally selected by user)
    • each CT section has as many lines as there are in commod table for this CT
  • Vertically it has a number of columns. See column definitions below.
  • CT#
  • Origin Port
City, State from CT#Export Pick Up
Note: print once per CT on the first line if there are multiples lines per CT on a spreadsheet
  • Dest. Port
COMPANY-CITY-NOTE from CT#Export Delivery To
Note: print once per CT on the first line if there are multiples lines per CT on a spreadsheet
  • Actual Pick Up Date
CT#Actual Export Pick Up Date
Note: for Truck-Ocean this date is on Container; and since each Commodity line is assigned to its own container - date would be shown for every spreadsheet line for such CT
  • Actual Delivery Date
CT#Actual Delivery Date
Note: for Truck-Ocean this date is on Container; and since each Commodity line is assigned to its own container - date would be shown for every spreadsheet line for such CT
  • Sorted by: CT#

Spreadsheet: Billing Section

See example on #Figure 4

  • This is a table.
  • Horizontally:
    • header: print column headers
    • body: print one line per CT
    • footer: print totals
  • Vertically each line has the following fields - see below.
  • C-Trax - CT#
  • Freight Total = IF(Gross Weight/100*Rate <75) THEN 75 ELSE Gross Weight/100*Rate
  • Fuel Total = Freight Total x Fuel
  • Extra 1 - default to 0.00
  • Extra 2 - default to 0.00
  • Total = Freight Total + Fuel Total + Extra 1 + Extra 1
  • CT formulas examples for line 31:
    • Freight Total // =IF(E31/100*F31<75,75,E31/100*F31)
      • note: 75 here is a "Minimal Rate" from Template
    • Fuel Total // =G31*H31
    • Total // =G31+I31+J31+K31
  • Totals Formulas (see line 39)
    • each total is simply a sum of all numbers above it
  • ! Please note that generated spreadsheet must contain formulas so that if number is changed by user it will re-calculate!


Misc

  • Please note that it is not required to have option to save generated version into the system (as for pdfs)
