Update tracking for put away
The Update tracking for put away periodic job is designed to run as a nightly batch. It determines which voyages have received all inventory transactions and which voyages don't have an actual end date value. Then, it will set the actual end date to the current date as needed.
Container activities are created for each leg of a shipping container's journey. The journey template that you selected when creating the voyage will define these values. You can set values for the Start date, Estimated end date, and Actual end date fields for each container activity record. When you receive confirmation that a leg has begun or has been completed, you can update these fields.
Because these actions occur outside of Supply Chain Management, information about confirmed dates is typically provided by an external source, such as a freight forwarder. However, external information isn't required to track the arrival of items from a journey leg into the warehouse (as marked by the put away of goods). As a result, you can determine tracking by using data from Supply Chain Management.
To set up and run the Update tracking for put away periodic task, follow these steps:
Go to Landed Cost > Periodic tasks > Update tracking for put away.
In the Update tracking for put away dialog box, in the Parameters section, set the following fields:
Leg - Select the unique identification name/number for the part of a journey where you want to update tracking. The selected value must represent the voyage's arrival at the warehouse.
Activity - Select the activity that occurred during the selected leg. These values are assigned in the tracking control center for each journey template.
To limit the set of records that should be included in the update, select the Filter button on the Records to include FastTab. A standard query dialog box will appear to help you define selection criteria, sorting criteria, and joins. The fields work in the same way as they do for other types of queries in Supply Chain Management. These fields are read-only and show values that are related to your query.
On the Run in the background FastTab, set up batch and scheduling options as needed, as they're done for other types of jobs in Supply Chain Management.
Select OK to apply your settings and run or schedule the update.
