Release Interface

An order release contains the following information:

  • Order release ID that is automatically generated by Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud.
  • Order release name and type.
  • Order base ID that references the base order from which the order release was created.
  • Source and destination locations.
  • Early/late pick up dates.
  • Assigned or fixed itinerary.
  • Current status.
  • Package or non-package data attributes.

Release Method

Populate the ReleaseMethodGid to tell Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud how to release ship units. TheReleaseMethodGid (also called Order Configuration) tells Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud how to build ship units from order lines, or how to calculate ship unit information if ship units are entered. If ReleaseHeader/ReleaseMethodGid is not populated, the default can be property controlled. See the Order Management Guide for more information.

Business Number Generator (BNG)

You can send a transportation order to Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud, without the entering values in the TransOrder GID, Ship Unit ID, or Order Release ID elements in the XML Transmission. Transportation and Global Trade Management Cloud generates values for these fields based on the default business number rule in place when the order comes into the system. You can set up the BNG to create numbers that fit your needs.
