Load and Delivery Confirmation
Accurate and timely load and delivery confirmation is key to successful transportation. When you confirm a load, the system verifies the products that comprise the load. When you confirm a delivery, the system verifies that the load reached its final destination. The JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management system enables the rapid load confirmation of bulk and packaged products.
Loads are made up of one or more shipments. You confirm loads to record the actual quantities of products shipped. When you confirm a load, the system retrieves the actual ship date and time for the load date and time. You can update the actual delivery date and time, if needed.
The delivery of a product is the moment when ownership is transferred to the customer. You perform delivery confirmation to verify the quantities of product delivered, according to the specifications of the load. Confirmation can be completed for all types of deliveries, such as for bulk products, packaged products, and unscheduled deliveries. You can confirm the delivery of one trip or one order at a time, or you can confirm multiple deliveries at the same time.
The system improves inventory accuracy by:
Making the necessary inventory adjustments to account for temperature and density readings taken during the loading process.
Enabling you to record valid test results of a bulk product before you can successfully confirm a load.
Changing the status of an order to be eligible for batch document printing or automatically triggering delivery document printing.
Creating historical records of each transaction in the item ledger and preventing load confirmation if predefined requirements, such as quality standards, are not met.
Enabling you to record the disposition of remaining bulk quantities during delivery confirmation.
Making the necessary journal entries to the system.
You can also use JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Transportation Management to support the aviation and marine industries. When you confirm load and delivery of products for the aviation and marine industries, you can enter additional order information, such as flight or vessel numbers, fueling times, and arrival and departure times.
If you have activated the ECS Control option on the System Constants form, you can track the transport of bulk or packaged goods from the warehouse or depot to the customer site. You can confirm bulk order shipments. You must complete the additional fields that are required before you confirm the shipment. The system stores the shipment confirmation information in the Sales Order Detail File - Tag File table (F49211).
