You can use a deliver order to group together the cargo lots for the same consignee. The cargo lots included in a delivery order may be associated with the same or different bills of lading. In the Cargo Lots view, you must select all the cargo lots that you want to include in the new delivery order.

To add a delivery order for the selected cargo lot(s):

  1. From the Billing Party lookup field, select the organization responsible for the payment of the delivery order.

  1. Optionally, click Add Contact Details button to add the contact information for the delivery order.

For more information, see Contact Details form (on page 1).

  1. Enter other optional information for the delivery order, such as the Carrier Mode, Customer Reference, and Notes.

  2. Optionally, assign a PIN (on page 1) to the new delivery order. You can enter up to 20 alphanumeric characters in this field.

You can view the PIN assigned to a delivery order in the Delivery Orders view (on page 1) and on the Details area in the Delivery Order Inspector (on page 1). In addition, when you assign a PIN to a delivery order, N4 records the SERVICE_ORDER_PROPERTY_UPDATE event against the delivery order. You can view this event on the History, Events tab of the Delivery Order Inspector for the delivery order.

  1. Optionally, edit the value displayed in the Quantity field if the delivery order is not for the entire cargo lot quantity.

  2. Click Save.

If successful, N4 adds a delivery order and an order item for each of the cargo lots selected in the list view.
