Note: The Tender Update function for loads is only available when the load is in Tendered or Tender Accepted operational status.
Use this screen to update a load level tender or an accepted load level tender. An updated version of the tender 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.
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 a load.
The Carrier, Service, Equipment Type and Domicile fields cannot be updated when requesting a Tender Update.
The load status will not be affected by this process.
A State Transition entry will be created for the load using a user-assignable Event Reason Code. Users viewing the Event History for the load 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. If this event has been enabled, an image of the load, stops, charge details and attached shipment legs will be captured.
When Tender Update is performed for a load in Tendered or Tender Accepted status, the Event Notification message LoadTenderUpdated will be created.
