Setting up TWL shipping docks

  1. Select TWL Outbound > Shipping > Dock Master.
  2. In the Search pane, specify a TWL warehouse and click Search.
  3. Click New.
  4. In Company, the company you are logged into autopopulates the field.
  5. In Warehouse, the warehouse you specified autopopulates the field.
  6. In Dock, specify the new 6-character alphanumeric dock ID. You can begin the ID with D and use a sequential format, such as D1, D2, or use a carrier designator, such as UPSgrd. Use an identifying ID because docks are required by carrier trailers.
  7. Click Save.
  8. Select Active for the system to process information for this carrier.
  9. In the General section, specify this information:
    Description
    Specify a descriptive name for this shipping dock.
    Default Carrier
    Select a default carrier for this dock. Carriers are setup in TWL Outbound-Shipping-Carrier Master.
    Default Route
    Specify a default route for this dock.
    Caution: 
    Do not specify values for the Current fields and the Stage field. Current fields are populated by the RF operator in Main Menu-Shipping-Carrier Arr./Dep. The RF operator scans or specifies the dock ID. After a dock ID has been entered, the defaults set up on this TWL Configuration-Shipping-Dock Master record are displayed. If the current values differ from the default, then the RF operator can enter the current.
