Distribution Proof of Delivery

Distribution Proof of Delivery is used to manage and track deliveries.

It is composed of two applications:

The web-based Manager application is used for these tasks:

Managing routes, deliveries, and drivers
Warehouses and user setup
Assigning routes for orders
Tracking the delivery process

A mobile Driver application that runs on the iPhone and Android smart phones is used for these tasks:

Managing delivery routes
Recording deliveries
Capturing signatures and storing images
Recording the date, time, and GPS coordinates of deliveries

Distribution Proof of Delivery must be synchronized with Infor ION and your ERP application. After ION and the ERP are configured, the Manager application displays order line items that are picked in warehouses and ready for delivery. The warehouses must be set up in the ERP and in Distribution Proof of Delivery. The sales orders are placed in the picked stage in the ERP until delivery processing is complete in Distribution Proof of Delivery. Orders that have been assigned to delivery routes and retrieved by the mobile Driver application cannot be changed. The Distribution Proof of Delivery Manager or Driver application cannot take on and apply any order modifications.

Ultimately, the delivery information is sent back to the ERP through ION. This provides the communication component between the ERP and the Distribution Proof of Delivery Driver application.

Delivery images or signatures that are captured by the Delivery Driver application are stored in Infor Document Management (IDM). A unique ID is assigned to each image that is used to retrieve the image when you view the delivery detail. The ID is also sent to the ERP to be stored with the sales order.
