You can use the Cargo Transload form to transload cargo lots.

You cannot use the Transload action from the Units view to transload the contents of a unit that contains cargo lots. To transload cargo lots, you must use the Transload action from the Cargo Lots view (on page 1).

When the transload is successful, it results in four units (also referred to as unit facility visits (UFVs)) in N4. The two old units (source and destination) are Retired and two new units (or UFVs) are created. In addition, N4:

Records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event(s) to the new full (FCL) unit.

The number of CARGO_TRANSLOAD events recorded is based on the number of cargo lots you transload. For example, if you transload three cargo lots, N4 records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event three times in the Event History of the new full unit.

Records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event to the new Empty unit.
Does not record any events for the Retired unit.
Associates the cargo lots and the bill of lading with the new full unit.
Records the following events:

Retired Full unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_STRIP
New Empty unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_TO_EMPTY and UNIT_TRANSLOAD
Retired Empty unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_STUFF
New Full unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_TO_FULL and UNIT_TRANSLOAD

Since N4 generates these additional events for a transload operation, ensure that you configure the billable events correctly.

If a cargo work order is available for the cargo item, N4 records this event against the cargo work order and also updates the Qty Completed and Status columns for the cargo work order item.
Retains the event history of the source and destination units as part of the event history of the Retired units.

Notes

You should not add Event Effects to the new events added for the Transload action.
