Linehaul Console - Management of Loading Receptacles within Linehaul Network
v20.16, JF-1920, JF-1922, JF-1926
Overview
These tasks introduce the ability to manage any Loading Receptacles via the creation of a Trailer Load which can be added to a Manifest regardless of the Linehaul Configuration. Examples of Loading Receptacles include Loading Cages, DG Segregation Boxes, Stillages and Pipe Bolsters/Racks. The functionality allows for the Loading Receptacle Asset to be tracked through the Linehaul Network in the same way Company Fleet Trailer Assets are.

Moving Load Receptacle through Linehaul Network using Linehaul Console

- Allocate a Load Receptacle Asset to the Trailer Load

- Drag and Drop Cage Trailer Load into the actual Trailer Load the Loading Receptacle has been loaded on to link them together
- Confirm and Depart Manifest
- Arrive Manifest in Receiving Location
If the Loading Receptacle Consignments are marked for Direct Delivery or Drop Trailer, Consignments will move to Delivered (Departed Receiver 56) status and be complete. If they are marked for Depot Delivery, Consignments will appear in the Allocations Screen for Local Allocation.
The Load Receptacle Asset will now show that it is located within the Receiver’s/Receiving Depot’s location and will be available for allocation on the next journey
