1. Tab Shipments

• First, you have to click on Shipment Mode field, select the value BARGE from the drop down menu

• Below are some notes when creating/assign Shipments

Barge assignment rules

• When the dispatchers try to assign a Shipment to a particular barge, the system will validate some rules
• The general rules are:
• 1 - With nonempty Shipments (Dummy, Internal and External Actual Shipments), at any particular time point, the barge can only be assigned a maximum of one ongoing Shipment (Shipment currently being performed) and one pending Shipment (Shipment waiting to be performed)
• 2 - With empty Shipments (Non-freight Related, or NFR Shipments), you can assign a NFR Shipment to a barge right after its corresponding Actual Shipment has been assigned to that barge

Dummy Shipments

• If the barge is currently not performing any Shipment, then you can assign a new Dummy Shipment to that barge
• You can not assign a new Dummy Shipment to a barge if that barge is still performing another Dummy Shipment. Only after the preceding Dummy Shipment has been completed the new one can be assigned
• You can not assign a new Dummy Shipment to a barge if that barge has already been assigned an External Actual Shipment, and the barge captain has yet to submit tasks of that External Actual Shipment on Mobile app

Internal Actual Shipments

• You can assign a new Internal Actual Shipment to a barge even if the barge is still performing, hasn't yet completed an External Actual Shipment

External Actual Shipments

• You can not assign a new External Actual Shipment to a barge if that barge has a completed Dummy Shipment that has not been linked with an Internal Actual Shipment
• You can not assign a new External Actual Shipment to a barge if that barge has already been assigned an External Actual Shipment, and the barge captain has yet to submit tasks of the preceding External Actual Shipment on Mobile app

Non-freight Related (NFR) Shipments

• At any particular time point, a barge can be concurrently assigned one Internal NFR Shipment and one Eternal NFR Shipment

2. Tab Stops

• After you have input all necessary information on tab Shipments, navigate to tab Stops
• On this tab, you have to add the Shipment Stops to the Shipment being created. Start by clicking on Location field, input either the name or code of the appropriate location into the search bar, then select from the drop down menu
• The names and codes of the locations can be found under Customer Code and Customer Name columns in Partners > Customer List tab
• Next, click on Stop Type field, select the appropriate stop type from the drop down menu
• Then, click on Add Stop button to add the stop to the shipment
• The stop will appear in the stop list below
• Repeat these steps for other stops

• In the stop list, you have to specify the Estimated Time Arrival; Planned Time Arrival; Estimated Time Departure; Planned Time Departure for each stop. To do that, click on the calendar icon of each corresponding information field, then select the appropriate date/hour/minute/second from the drop down calendars

• If you accidentally add the wrong stop, you can remove it by clicking on trash bin icon under Action column

3. Tab Containers
