Working with DXSteel — Transport

Transport in DXSteel

DXSteel adds a full transport-planning module: from transport request through planning on vehicle and route, to loading, bill of lading, and posting. Profile: dxsteel Warehouse and Manufacturing.

The typical transport workflow

1. Transport requests arise automatically from released sales or shipment lines, or you create one manually via Compile Transportorder.

2. Plan — open Transport Planning and assign requests to a Transport Equipment (truck, trailer, container) on a Transport Route.

3. Create the transport order — from planning click Create Transport Order. DXSteel copies customer, route, equipment, and shipment lines.

4. Manage sublines — per transport order line you can add multiple sublines for partial loading.

5. Load — mark which lots get loaded via Select lots to load. DXSteel respects the maximum load quantities per line/subline.

6. Release — once released you cannot add or modify lines.

7. Print transport labels via Loaded Labels for Transport.

8. Post — post the transport order. Sublines are finalised and appear in Posted Transport Orders.

9. Status update — the automated job Update Transport Request Status keeps transport requests in sync with actual state.
