Adding an Order Event

1. The Quick Code field provides a short cut for entering status and reason codes. By entering a configured quick code, the responsible party, status, and reason are automatically populated. If you do not use a quick code for entering status and reason codes, then you must enter the following information manually.
2. The responsible party describes the person or people affected by the event. The values that appear in this field are determined by the responsible party profile. By default, Oracle Transportation Management provides various responsible party profiles that contain responsible parties that appear in the list. Each of these responsible parties is pre-configured with public status and reason codes. Once you select a responsible party, the Status and Reason fields have selectable values.
3. Choose Status and Reason codes that describe the event and a reason it has happened. A Status is a category or grouping code for status codes. After you choose a status, various status codes appear.
4. A Reason is a category or grouping for reason codes. Choose a reason and various reason codes are displayed.

   Note: The values that you can choose for status and reason are pre-configured in Status Messages Power Data and are based on the Responsible Party.

5. You can send anyone an email containing the currently displayed reason information by clicking notify and entering a valid email address. The person who you are notifying does not need to be defined as a Contact. Separate multiple email addresses with a comma to broadcast a message to multiple email addresses.
6. Enter an Event Date/Time specifying when the event occurred. You can also enter Event Comments in the form of any text.
7. Enter a Contact Name and Contact Function Code. These two fields serve as the involved parties.
8. You can record an event for one or more line items on the order. A list of current line items automatically appears for selection.
