The Tender Update function for trips is only available when the trip contains at least one load in Tendered or Tender Accepted operational status.
Use this dialog box to update the tender (or tenders) for a trip. An updated version of the tenders will be sent to the carrier via email, fax or EDI (via event notification), based on the tender notification methods defaulted from the Tariff Service or manually overridden on the Tender Contacts screen. See Change tender contacts during update tender (Employee).
The decision to send an updated tender to the carrier is at the discretion of the logistics planner.
For example: The established business practice may be to issue a Tender Update immediately after unsuspending any of the loads on the trip.
The Carrier, Service, Equipment Type and Domicile fields cannot be updated when requesting a Tender Update.
The load and trip statuses will not be affected by this process. Also, the tender request status will not be affected.
A State Transition entry will be created for the load using a user-assignable Event Reason Code. Users viewing the Event History for any of the loads on the trip will be able to identify the Tender Update as a specific load event.
Tender Update is one of the events supported by the Auditing process at load level. If this event has been enabled, an image of each load with associated stops, charge details and attached shipment legs will be captured.
When Tender Update is performed for a trip, the Event Notification message TripTenderUpdated will be created if it has been activated. Otherwise, the LoadTenderUpdated message will be issued for each load assigned to the trip in Tendered operational status, or higher.
