Definitions
Business Need
To be able to:
- book ocean with ocean carriers

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

- GLN FTP credentials: url, uname, pwd
- List of steamshiplines participating: On/Off switch

- additional EDI related entities, full list contain 29 of them - see File:Codelists - SMF OCEAN - v01.18.xlsx
Master Editor
Add EDI Status panel

Example:
Booking Request: sent on 2013-10-16; 1:56 pm EST by Rob Link Booking Confirmation: pending Shipping Instructions: not yet Status updates: not yet
This is similar to GMS status panel by nature.
Add to bottom right corner of Master Details Tab where there is empty space.
Add Action Buttons

- send Booking Request
- send Shipping Instructions
Add Validations

Messaging
Types of Messages
This is a list of EDI messages being used here to exchange info between Jaguar and Steamshiline through Descartes GLN:
- Booking Request ( GLN 300 )
- The shipper or forwarder can use this transaction set to reserve cargo space.
- Also used for Booking Update and Booking Cancellation
- Booking Confirmation ( GLN 301 )
- This message is used to confirm the Booking Request (Message 300).
- Ocean Shipping Instructions ( GLN 304 )
- 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 ( GLN 315 )
- 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
