Examples of Creating Transportation Schedules

You can use several combinations of trading partner, schedule name, and schedule usage to create the transportation schedules suitable for your business requirements.

Examples of creating transportation schedules are discussed for the following scenarios:

• Shipping schedule for a warehouse

• Receiving schedule for a customer

Shipping schedule for a warehouse

You want to set up a shipping schedule for your warehouse so that you can schedule shipments from your warehouse and calculate shipping and planned delivery dates for your customers. In order to ensure that your warehouse has accurate shipping days and times, you can create a transportation schedule for an organization from where your goods will be shipped, and select shipping as your schedule usage for that organization. You can activate the schedule assignment at the organization trading partner level by selecting the schedule and marking it as active.

Receiving schedule for a customer

You want to set up a receiving schedule so that you can schedule shipping and receiving days and calculate shipping and planned delivery dates for your customers. In order to ensure that the customer has accurate receiving days and times, you can create a transportation schedule for the customer to whom your goods will be shipped, and select receiving as your schedule usage for that customer. You can activate the schedule assignment at the customer trading partner level by selecting the schedule and marking it as active.
