Transport Events

Transport events have log-book functionality for summarising transaction data for different despatch types. This functionality can categorise and group events specific to a mode of transport. For example, events such as Pilot on Board, First Line and Final Draft Readings may need to be tracked for shipments, but are not applicable to trains. Transport events, including planned events such as loading, unloading and berthing, are entered against a despatch. See Record Transport Events for a Despatch and Record Transport Events for a Supply Train or Ship.

After creating all the events required for a specific mode of transport, event templates can be set up. Event templates are set up so that transport events can be registered easily. Transport event templates provide the functionality for the statement of facts for despatches.

Events can also be used to dynamically register transport or supply events.

The following default transport events are available for all transport types:

  • ActualStartLoading
  • ActualEndLoading
  • ActualStartUnloading
  • ActualEndUnloading
  • ATA
  • ATD
  • ETA
  • ETD

The following additional default transport events are available for shipments:

The ATA, StartLoading, EndLoading and ATD events are directly related to the route plan details for the actual Arrival Date, Start Loading, End Loading and Departure Date at the loading location.
