Voucher Allocations

After invoice is approved, OTM creates a voucher record for this invoice.

At this stage, ALLOCATION_VOUCHER status on the voucher is – NOT ALLOCATED

To allocate total voucher costs to correspoding orders based on weight or volume we need to define voucher allocation rule.

Yard Management and Appointment Scheduling

Yard Management:

A warehouse usually has - Parking Yard and Dock Doors. Yard will have Rows and Each Row has some defined number of slots. Container will first be placed in the Yard slot. Users at warehouse will pull the container from Yard Slot to Door for unloading. Usually, responsibility of the carrier is to bring the container from port to yard. To move a container from Port to Yard – we can have a custom container ranking algorithm based on certain parameters (like PO priority, delivery dates, etc.) to give ranking to containers. Users at warehouse can use this rank to identify what containers they need to pull to the door at the earliest.
