Instructions can be sent to the Carriers from the Import Job Registration screen.
Use the “Send EDI Booking to Carrier” option from the Options menu.
This option will only be available if the Carrier is set up for EDI in the Customer Masterfile, Carrier Tab and if the Job Type matches the Job Type for the Carrier in the Carrier Tab.
Expedient will check all the mandatory information has been provided according to the Carrier’s requirements. If any information is missing a pop up message will clearly list the missing information required.
When all the mandatory information is present Expedient will send the message to the Carrier.
Please Note: The EDI may not be sent immediately. A background process sends EDI messages to the Carriers at specified intervals.
When a transport request is sent by EDI and the Job is for FCL, FCX or LCL the “Sent?” tickbox is ticked in the Container Details tab in Job Registration, Container Details tab against the Container. If the job is for Air the “Send?” box is ticked in the Delivery Details tab.
If the transport request is for FCL or FCX the Date and Time of Timeslot Request will be populated in the Container Management screen for the container.
You can see the message sent to the carrier in the EDI History screen option from the Import Job Registration screen and the View EDI Carrier History screen option from Container Management.
