Map Bid Entities

The Map Bid Entities functionality provides a mechanism to map all entities in Logistics Procurement (LP) to their equivalent entities in Transportation Manager (TM).

When TM and LP are deployed, there is no restriction that they must use the same name to identify an entity. For instance, for a carrier named Fleet Logistics, TM may use carrier ID FLEETLOG while LP may use FLTLGST.

During the entity mapping spreadsheet import, by default, Procurement Bridge tries to auto map the LP entities to its equivalent TM entities. Auto mapping maps the LP entity to its equivalent TM entity based on the same identification information (if it exists in TM). The following are the identifiers user for auto mapping the entities:

Carriers: LP SCAC to TM SCAC
Zones: LP Location to TM Zone ID or TM Hub ID
Services: LP Service Group to TM Service ID
Equipment Type: LP Equipment Type to TM Equipment Type ID
Charge: LP Service Level to TM Charge ID
Freight Class: LP Freight Class to TM Freight Class
