Transfer Shipments Between Loads (Employee)

This function allows the user to work with two loads at the same time, either transferring shipment legs between these loads and/ or removing shipment legs from one or both.

The screen is divided into two vertical sections, one for each of the loads being worked with. Each section contains the corresponding load information as well as a list of the assigned shipment legs.

The user may select zero, one or two loads prior to accessing this screen. The selected loads (if any) are presented within the appropriate sections (First Load and/ or Second Load). Alternatively, the user may specify the loads that he wants to work with directly from this screen.

Note: When only a single load is selected, the available operations will imply the creation of a new load that consists of the shipments transferred from the selected load.

Processing details

Load IDs may be entered directly or obtained using Load Search functionality. If Load ID is left blank, it will be assumed to represent a 'New' Load.

When Load ID is obtained using Load Search functionality, the corresponding 'List of Shipments' will be populated with all shipment legs assigned to this load (in ascending order by Shipment ID). When Load ID is entered directly, the Refresh option must be taken to populate this list.

Once at least one Load ID has been specified and its List of Shipments populated, you can start working with the loads:

A Shipment Leg may be marked for removal from a load using the row level option 'Remove from Load' (this action can be reversed via 'Reset').
A Shipment Leg can be transferred from one load to another using the 'arrow' buttons. The selected shipment legs will be moved from the source list to the destination list, as determined by the direction of the arrow.

Note: Once the first Shipment Leg in either list has either been marked for removal or transferred, the Load IDs become locked (cannot be changed).

When the user is satisfied with the results, he may commit his changes as follows:

Using the Submit/ Finish button in which case the browser is returned to the List of Loads after the changes are committed.
Using the Submit/ Continue button in which case the browser remains on the ‘Transfer Shipments’ page ready to accept a new set of loads.
