Publishing EDI transport orders

You can publish transport orders for one or more loads.

Individual loads

To publish a transport order for an individual load, in the Loads (whinh4140m000) session, select the load and from the appropriate menu, select Publish Transport Order. Alternatively, in the Load (whinh4640m000) session, select Publish Transport Order from the appropriate menu for the current load.

Multiple loads

To publish transport orders, complete these steps:

  1. In the Loads (whinh4140m000) session, select the loads for which to publish transport orders and from the appropriate menu, select the Publish Transport Order option.
  2. In the Publish Transport Order (whinh4240m100) session, select the required option in the Publish field.
  3. Click Publish.

Alternative procedure for multiple loads

  1. From the appropriate menu in the Loads (whinh4140m000) session, select the Publish Transport Order option.
  2. In the Publish Transport Order (whinh4240m100) session, select the required loads using the selection range fields.
  3. Select the required option in the Publish field.
  4. Click Publish.

Using the publishing options

These transport-order publishing options are available for loads:

  • Original

    The transport order is published for the first time.

  • Replace

    A new transport order is published, replacing the original or the previous transport order. You can replace a transport order as often as required. This occurs, for example, if a major change was made to the load, such as a larger quantity or a different delivery time.

  • Reminder

    The previous transport order is published by way of reminder. You can send reminders as often as required.

  • Cancell

    Notifies the carrier that the load is cancelled.

Note: 

When selecting the loads for which to publish transport orders, make sure that the transport order status of the selected loads corresponds with the publishing option that you intend to use.

For example, to send the first transport order, select loads with publishing status To be Published and use publishing option Original.

If you select publishing option Replace and your selection range includes loads with publishing status To be Published, replacements are published as first-time transport orders. This might cause confusion among the carriers receiving the transport orders.
