There are two ways to open the Adjust Pickup/Delivery window:

  • Double-click a record on the shipper grid of the Freight > Pickups tab.

    A list of shippers and how many freight bills they have

    If the shipper has multiple bills, then the window opens for all of the bills.

  • Right-click any freight bill and go to Update Freight Bill(s) > Modify Dates.

    If you open the window from the Cross Dock tab, it includes a field called Terminal Depart.

    Use this field to pre-plan when a freight bill is set to leave the current terminal. This can only be used on bills that are outbound from that terminal. This excludes delivery bills. If you enter a value into the Terminal Depart field and save it, it automatically updates the Deliver By/Terminal Depart field with the new date. This helps you plan the bills that need to leave the terminal on that day.
