Introduction

This document provides a quick guide on how to take a Shipment shipment through its lifecycle life cycle in the One Network system.

The lifecycle life cycle (or states of a Shipment shipment) are primarily as follows:

  • Awaiting
  • -> Tendered ->
  • Confirmed ->
  • In-Transit
  • transit – Delivered

The following describes this lifecycle and states in more detail:

  1. AwaitingShipments begins in begin in the "Awaiting" state.
    A Shipment shipment in the "Awaiting" state is one that has just been created and is waiting to be tendered to a Carrier. Hub/Shippers carrier. Hubs or shippers may bypass the tendering process and just save the Shipment shipment directly to a Carrier carrier, which would move it to the "Confirmed" state. 
  2. Tendered Shipments A shipment is in this state when a Shipment it is tendered to the Carriercarrier. The "Tendered" state is a solicitation by the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper to the Carrier carrier, offering them the chance to haul their Shipmentthe shipment. Carriers have the ability to either Accept accept or Reject reject this tender.
  3. Confirmed – If a Tender tender is accepted by the Carriercarrier, the Shipment shipment then moves to a "Confirmed" state. Confirmed This means that the Carrier carrier has agreed to haul the Shipment shipment for the Hub/Shipper shipper, and is therefore is the confirmed Carrier carrier on the Shipmentshipment. AdditionallyAs stated earlier, a Hub/Shipper shipper may bypass the tendering process and save a Shipment shipment directly to a Carrier carrier to reach the "Confirmed" state.
  4. In-Transit – When a Shipment shipment has been picked up from the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper by the Carrier carrier and a "Picked Up" action has been added to the Shipmentshipment, the Shipment it moves to an Intransit "In-Transit" state. During this state, it is assumed that the freight is in the Carriercarrier's possession. A Carrier carrier may enter status updates by adding tracking events while en route, such as "Delayed", "Update Current Position", etc.
  5. Delivered – This is the end of the Shipment shipment life cycle. When a Shipment shipment has been delivered at to the Consigneeconsignee, a "Delivered" action can be added to the Shipmentshipment. The "Delivered" action means that the Carrier carrier has fulfilled their obligation to haul the Shipment shipment from the Hub/Shipper hub or shipper to the Consignee and that consignee, and the consignee is now in possession of the goods has been given to the Consignee.
