Number of CTs but also CT number with hyperlink. Fill in page with one CT per cell left to right then top to bottom. Not too wide so it is easy to print. One tab per office. Group by MOT (as on In Transit).

I prefer left to right, with the most recent CT# being top left, and the oldest being bottom right.

• Date criteria – Created on Date(shipments), correct?

The date the CT# is first created.

• Group per MOT – you mentioned that it would be the same as In-Transit report.

a)Undefined MOT result is not a part of In-transit report, would you like to include “Undefined MOT” for the result of this report?

It will consist of Ocean- FCL, Ocean - LCL , AIR, Truck,and Undefined MOT

• Schedule report – How the result will be generated per schedule?

Every quarter

The report should only capture records created in the “date range” for example:

a)Jan 1st   – March 31st 
b)April 1st – June 30th
There needs to be a start date and an end date.
So for a), the scheduler will run on April 1st, and list all CT’s created between Jan 1st and March 31st.
