Editing a Work Order Header

Click on the icon to edit the header of the work order. The following dialog box is displayed:

In this dialog box, certain fields here have to Apply to T/D option. Select this checkbox if the changes made in a particular field of this work order are to be applied to all work orders in the shipment. Click on the checkbox if the changes made in a particular field of this work order are to be applied to all work orders in the shipment. Click on All None to deselect all checkboxes.

Editing a work order header gives the following options to the users:

  1. Customer, Shipper, Receiver, Shipment Type, and Cargo Type can be modified in the respective fields and are by default applied to all T/D.

  2. Container Number and Manifest do not have the Apply to T/D option, as they are work order specifications.

  3. The type of the container can be changed by selecting the appropriate Load Type by clicking on the '?' icon.

  4. Weight, Volume, and Seal numbers can be changed by providing appropriate values in the text boxes.

  5. Select the Shipper Container checkbox if this container belongs to the consignee or shipper, instead of belonging to the carrier. If this field is selected, then free days will not apply.

  6. By default, the Priority of the work order is set to normal when it is created. This priority can be set to a higher or lower level as desired while editing the work order header and selecting the appropriate priority from the Priority drop-down list. Work order priority can be included in the export of work orders or custom/advanced reports. When viewing the operations page in 'Shipment' mode or exporting consolidated reports, the priority shown for a shipment is the highest of any of its work orders.

  7. Select Apply to T/D as applicable. When changing the T/D number on a single work order, the Apply to T/D checkbox must be de-selected for all items and not just the T/D field. This is because the T/D field itself is used to determine which work orders belong to the shipment.

  8. The country code and name of the Bond Agent, Loading Yard, Transporter, and Return Transporter can be modified in the respective fields.

Make the desired changes to the work order header and click on the 'Save' button. All information is validated and, if correct, updated in the database.
