The "Delivery/Pickup by Transport Supplier" processing can be
useful when the pickup and delivery services are done by an
external contractor.
The Transport Supplier process uses the Delivery/Pickup Off-Rent
Ticket Subsystem, so when the tickets are created from the
Contract Summary and Totals screen,
Create Delivery Ticket utility, and
Create Pickup Ticket utility, the operator
is also prompted for additional transport details to include in a
notice that is emailed to alert the Transport Supplier.
Anywhere a Delivery or Pickup Ticket is created, the option is
provided to flag that ticket for scheduling to an 'External
Transport' service, so that these tickets are not reflected in the
Texada Web "Delivery/Pickup Dispatch" queue, but they can
still be returned through the Texada Web "In-Yard Return"
process.
For more information on Texada Web refer to Logistics.
All fields in this Transport Supplier Information window must be populated to activate the feature for this Division.
Note: If the option to Use Contact Document Emailing is activated in the Company Email Configuration no notice is sent to the Transport Supplier, however tickets will reflect the new 'To' and 'From' address information captured.
The additional transport information that is captured and forwarded to the supplier includes:
Delivery Deadline Dates
When creating a Delivery Ticket from the Contract Summary and Totals screen, or the
Create Delivery Ticket utility, the
operator is prompted for a delivery Deadline Date and
Time in the Print and/or Email Delivery
Ticket window.
This date and time will be included on the notice sent to the
Transport Supplier with the FORM format option.
Weight Capture
When a Delivery Ticket is created from the Contract Summary and Totals or Create Delivery Ticket, or a Pickup Ticket is
created from Create Pickup Ticket, the
weight of the shipment is calculated based on the weights in the
product file.
The operator can over-type the final weight in the Print and/or
Email Delivery or Pickup Ticket window.
The weight will be included on the notice sent to the Transport
Supplier with the FORM format option.
Complete each of the following fields to activate the process:
The TXT format is the standard choice and behaves differently when the Use Contact Document Emailing feature is activated in the Company Email Configuration.
When Contact Emailing is NOT employed, a basic text notice is
emailed to the Transport Supplier email address provided
above for the division, that includes the Account, From/To address
information, deadline date and time, shipment weight, and any notes
that are flagged to print.
