Creating a Job

The Job page is accessed via Brokerage and Forwarding > Job Management > Job Details. Click the New icon next to Job ID.

Use the Job page to create a new job or edit an existing job.

Then use the Job Details page to review and manage the job details. There are several glog.job properties that allow you to define display options on the Job Details page.

Creating a Job

1. Create a new job by entering a unique Job ID in the Job field. If you leave this field blank, the Business Number Generator automatically creates an ID.
2. Choose either Order Release or Order Movement as the Query Type to identify the order object that you want to associate with the job.
3. Use the Job Type ID field to further identify the job. Job Types can be predefined in Power Data.
4. You can assign a Consolidation Type ID to the job or have the job inherit the Consolidation Type from the order release that is linked to the job.
5. Choose Import or Export as a Move Perspective to further identify to the type of job. You can predefine Move Perspectives in Power Data.
6. Click job detail to review and manage the job details.
7. Selecting the Memo BL check box indicates that the documentation process should create one set of documentation for all the shipments on the job. A Memo BL can be used if a shipment's destination country allows Memo BLs.
8. The Memo B/L Shipment ID is the sell shipment that is designated to hold the Bill of Lading documentation. This field is only available if you selected the Memo BL check box.

Note: Both the Memo BL and Memo BL/Shipment ID fields are updated if Splitting Booking occurs allowing a Memo BL.

The property glog.job.financial.orderrelease controls if the order release section displays.
