Re: Client Purchase order

Kishore,

What do you mean client ? There is no such entity really defined in OTM. What documentation have you seen that would suggest otherwise ?

There is the concept of a customer and a buyer (in relation to the freight forwarding functionality within OTM), and there is also the concept of a domain which provides seperation of data in the database and is commonly used in 3PL environments to do that, but please clarify your question.

In terms of creating a PO, that would be Order Management - Purchase Order - Order Base - New. However, you will need a lot of other base data defined before you can sucessfully create that in the application.

Good luck.

Re: Client Purchase order

Krishna,

1. When you create an order base (the underlying entity behind a Purchase Order) there are two ways in which you relate that to a kind of "customer". The first is the destination location of the order and the second is some kind of involved party (e.g BILL-TO, or one that you can create for your own purposes).

2. The "customer" does indeed use the concept of a domain - although it has more information related to it than a domain does".

3. The "buyer" uses, I think, the location entity - although it has a lot less information than a location related to it.

4. The customer and buyer are used in the freight forwarding module when you create bookings in the freight forwarding module, they are not used elsewhere in the standard OTM application.

If you yourself are starting out in OTM and the client you are working with is asking you to produce some documentation on this, I would strongly suggest that you both consider employing an experienced OTM consultant for a short period of time to help you on the design for what you are trying to achieve.

Purchase order status

How do we record the status/history of the purchase order .

1) if the purchase order is for 100 and later modified to 50 .

2)If the purchase order is cancelled how do we mantain the status of the purchase is cancelled in the history .

3)How do we identify purchase order for which no action has been taken for a period of time.

Re: Purchase order status

1. Depends - maybe order base events.
2. Probably an order base status type and status value
3. Order Base milestone template

There are lots of different ways of achieving these things. Are you answering an RFP ?

Re: Client Purchase order

HI BMJ,

I got the below Answer

Customized Agent Events are triggered in the body of an Automation Agent with the "Raise Event" Action. We have used these Agent Events to link different types of Agents in OTM v4.5.

Re: shipment-multistop(Via Pool)

There could be any number of reasons that shipments are not being built (invalid rates, rate service issues, itinerary / equipment issues).

To start with, if you use the Rate Inquiry Tool, are all of your valid rates returned for the IL-TX TL leg and also from TX-TX for the LTL leg ? If not, you will need to check the log files from that RIQ process to see why it is not returning your rates.

My approach (and suggestion to you) with this would be to first ignore the deconsolidation scenario and to build a direct IL-TX TL shipment. Once that is working satisfactorily, I would then introduce the complexity of the deconsolidation point and multiple orders.
