Operations Unit Units Units view Unit Inspector Actions Update Update Delivery Requirements Unit Delivery Requirements form
The Unit Delivery Requirements form enables you to edit the delivery requirements, such as trucking company, destination, or PIN number of the selected unit(s). A line operator or a trucking company can use this form to update the delivery requirements of a unit.
If a unit is to be discharged directly from a vessel or a railcar to an external truck, instead of using the Units form, you must use either the Unit Delivery Requirements form or the Routing form (on page 1) (depending on a unit’s dray status), to update the option Is Ib to Ob move direct. You can update the option Is Ib to Ob move direct for export containers using this form only if the dray status is set. N4, however, allows you to update this option for import, transship, and domestic containers even if the dray status is not set.
When you update the delivery requirements for a unit, N4 records the UPDATE_DELIVERY_RQMNTS event. You can view the event details on the History, Events tab (on page 1) in the Unit Inspector (on page 1).
To update the delivery requirements of one record:
In the list view, select the record for which you want to update the delivery requirements.
Select the Actions Update Update Delivery Requirements option.
The Unit Delivery Requirements form displays the existing information for the record.
Update the delivery requirements for the selected record.
Click Save.
To update the delivery requirements of multiple records:
In the list view, select the records for which you want to update the delivery requirements.
Select the Actions Update Update Delivery Requirements option.
SPARCS N4 displays the fields in the Unit Delivery Requirements form as view-only with a check box to the left of each field label.
Select the check box to the left of the field label of the field that you want to edit.
The field becomes editable.
Do not select the check box for a field that you do not want to update for all the selected records. If you select a check box and do not enter a value, the field is set to null for all the selected records.
Select or enter a value in the field.
The updated values apply to all the selected records.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to update other fields for the selected records.
Click Save.
N4 displays the updated values on the Routing tab of the Unit Inspector for the selected unit(s).
The following table lists the optional fields in the Unit Delivery Requirements form:
|
Field Label |
Description |
|---|---|
|
Trucking Company |
Select the trucking company that will pick up the unit from the facility. The lookup field displays only the trucking companies that exist at the current scope level. To add a new trucking company, use the Trucking Company form. When updating the delivery requirements for one or more units, if a selected unit has a trucking company associated with it, N4 displays that value in this field. When you assign a trucking company to a unit, N4 records the UNIT_TRUCKER_ASSIGNED event for the unit. You can view this event on the History, Events tab (on page 1) of the Unit Inspector (on page 1) for the unit. If the trucking company is null and if you later update the trucking company when creating an appointment for a gate transaction, N4 records the UNIT_TRK_CO_APPT_UPDATE event. This event is recored in the Appointment Inspector If you update the trucking company for the unit before creating an appointment when you set the ROADAPPOINTMENT002 (APPT_TIME_ON_TV_ATTACH) setting to false, N4 updates the value in the Trucking Company field in the Unit Delivery Requirements form (on page 1) for the unit once the appointment expires or gets cancelled.

|
Destination |
Enter the final destination for the cargo in the unit. This is the location where the cargo is stripped from the container. |
|
Return to Location |
Enter the location where the controlling line operator wants the consignee to bring the unit after the consignee has stripped the container. |
|
PIN Number |
Enter the PIN (on page 1) for the unit. You can enter up to 20 characters. When you assign a PIN to a unit, N4 records the UNIT_PIN_ASSIGNED event for the unit. You can view this event on the History, Events tab (on page 1) of the Unit Inspector (on page 1) for the unit. When you select multiple units, this field appears disabled. You cannot enter the PIN Number field for multiple units because the PIN number is unique for a unit. |
|
Bonded Trucking Company |
Select the trucking company that will pick up the unit for inbond transit. Prerequisite: A Unit Deny Field privilege (on page 1) controls access to this field. This lookup field displays only the trucking companies that exist at the current scope level and meet one of the following criteria:
You can view the Exam Status and Inbond Status fields for the selected unit in the Shipment Details form (on page 1). You can view the trucking company information in the Trucking Company form. |
|
Is Ib to Ob move direct? |
Select this check box if the unit is to be discharged from a vessel or railcar directly to an external truck. The INVDIRECT_DELIVERY001 (DIRECT_DELIVERY_RAIL) (on page 1) setting controls whether N4 allows direct deliveries or not. You can update this check box for export containers using this form only if the dray status is set. Otherwise, you must use the Routing form (on page 1). |
Notes
You cannot enter the PIN Number field for multiple units because the PIN number is unique for a unit.
You can use the events that N4 records for a unit to send a notice request to interested parties. For more information, see General Notices view.
If any of the units from the multiple selection fails to update, N4 continues to update the rest of the valid units and displays an error message for the failed units.
