Expedient can interface with transport companies using CargoWise so they can send POD information to populate Delivery Dates and Times and store the PDF of the POD to the Job Documents folder for FCL and FCX Import Jobs.
The Customer Masterfile stores the interface details with each Carrier (refer to the Administration User Manual for further information). These details can only be seen and updated if you are a Superuser.
Expedient will process CSV and PDF files from the Carriers and, if the reference number provided by the Carrier is correct and can be linked to an Import Job, Expedient will be updated as follows
When a CSV file is received:
- Import Job Delivery Date and Time will show the advice from the Carrier
- The Containers listed in the Import Job Registration screen Containers Details tab will all be updated to show the Delivery Date and Time if this has not already been entered
- Each Container Management record for the Containers on the Job will be updated with the Delivery Date and Time if this has not already been entered
- A Date of Delivery event (DOD) will be created for the Job showing the Signatory as the Event reference
- The CSV file will be stored in the Job Documents folder (if your site uses Expedient to store Documents)
When a PDF file is received:
- A Proof of Delivery event (POD) is created for the Job showing the Carrier Code as the Event reference
- The PDF file will be stored in the Job Documents folder (if your site uses Expedient to store Documents)
