Manage extra fields on a shipment

What is it? 

A shipment can contain extra information to share with your supplier, principal or carrier. This can also serve for internal purposes. You can configure up to three blocks of extra information to manage on a shipment. These fields are split into three functional blocks

• Driver related information
• Load related information
• Extra information

For each zone you can decide if these extra fields are useful or not. The extra screen to manage these fields on a shipment will only appear if they are useful for you. 

Configure your zone. 

Go to the specific location in your supply chain tree where you want to use some extra fields. For every zone, you choose if you want to use these extra fields or not. 

Edit your zone & scroll to the bottom of the page. 

You see three checkboxes. If at least one of the checkboxes is enabled for this zone, we pop-up the extra screen when you create or update a shipment.

Usage on the shipment screen.

Any user, any community role can see and manage these fields if one of the checkboxes is activated. The detail pane is configured as an overlay screen. Selecting ‘Details’ will give you the basic detail of a shipment. Selecting ‘Extra’ will give you the possibility to manage the extra fields. 

The fields that are configured for that zone have a dark gray font. But all fields can be managed, even if the fields that are not configured.  

This is purely informational, no business logic is triggered

As soon as one of the fields has a value, we show that the extra screen is okay. 

Cool!  You are ready to manage extra information now on every shipment for those zones where you really need this extra information.
