Premium Freight

The Premium Freight functionality can be used to track and analyze the expedited shipments. You can review the authorizations published by the customer and ship the parts based on the requirement.

When the customer creates a Premium Freight Authorization (PFA), you can review the authorization through the Event Management console or Premium Freight menu. From the authorization, you can publish a shipper.

The PFA work flow is:

1. The customer creates a PFA, which contains details about the authorized shipment. The status of the authorization is set to Open.
2. The customer publishes the authorization so you can review the PFA.
3. You can ship against the authorization and publish the corresponding Advance Ship Notice (ASN).
4. When the customer receives the ASN, the expediter updates the authorization with the actual transportation cost and closes the authorization. The status of the authorization is set to Closed.

The premium freight functionality is fully integrated with the application. You can configure the premium freight alerts on the Alert Configuration page to receive the notifications. You can also select the premium freight events, on the EMC Configuration page, that must be displayed on the Event Management Console.

The premium freight shipments can be included in the metrics module and can optionally be included in performance evaluations.
