• 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#

• Vendor - CT#Shipper

• P.O. - Commodity#PO

• Item - Commodity#SKU

• 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#

• Plts - Commodity#Grand Total: Plts

• Pkgs on Plts - Commodity#Grand Total: Pkgs On Plts

• Loose Pkgs - Commodity#Grand Total: Loose Pkgs

• Gross Weight - Commodity#Grand Total: Gross Lb

• Rate - from #Template

• Freight Total = IF(Gross Weight/100*Rate <75) THEN 75 ELSE Gross Weight/100*Rate

• Fuel - from #Template

• 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)

• Business Analyst said it is up to developer how to display Manifest_Section and Billing_Section on two spreadsheet tabs or one tab (one below another).
