Dispatch Release Notes Order Based Services Order Based Services Changes effective February 21, 2008
Dispatch Release Notes Order Based Services Introduction Order Based Services is a group of 14 new and modified pop ups on Edit Shipment for collecting services information needed to produce accurate invoices and revenue distribution (RADS for ATVL 1000 and 400N shipments).Entering this information as services are performed on the shipment will prevent delays in producing accurate invoices and revenue distribution to the shipment participants.This presentation covers the first ten services, all of which are new pop ups in Dispatch. They include:--Bridge/Ferry--Truck Usage--Advanced Charges--Crating--Uncrating--Debris Removal--Labor--Overtime Load/Unload--Self-Mini Warehouse--Shuttle
Dispatch Release Notes Order Based Services Introduction In this initial implementation of Order Based Services, the services pop ups can only be created, edited and deleted by in-house users and members of the booker’s agency family.Future releases of Order Based Services will provide two important capabilities:1. Allow a booker to assign another agent to a service, which will let that agent enter, edit and delete data only on that particular service.2. Provide status fields on the services pop ups that agents can use to plan their services work.These two capabilities are not available yet; they will appear in future releases of Order Based Services.
