Printing subcontracting instructions

You can print subcontracting instructions for ranges of Actual freight order line clusters or loads for which the load status ranges from Actual to Completed. The instructions are listed by freight order cluster and planned load date. The subcontracting instructions constitute the actual subcontracting order.

You can print Pro Forma or Final versions of subcontracting instructions. You can print the Pro Forma version and reprint the Final version as often as you want. When the Final version is printed for a cluster, the freight order line cluster is completed and receives the Subcontracted status. When the Final version is printed for a load, the Subcontracted check box is selected for the load.

If an EDI relation is set up with the carrier, an EDI message to notify the carrier of the subcontracting order is generated if you print the Final version of the subcontracting instructions. If you reprint the subcontracting instructions, generating EDI messages is optional.

To print subcontracting instructions, you must first indicate whether the subcontracting instructions must be printed for loads or Actual freight order clusters. Next, you must enter the criteria to select the loads or shipments for which you want to print subcontracting instructions.
