For EDI LTSL2: When setting up trading partners in DX Configuration, you can select the AutoNumericCompanyID check box located on the Trading Partners tab for each trading partner. When you do, the system uses your entry for this setting for processing inbound 204s.

    • [NAM] is the first three characters of the company name

    • [CIT] is the first three characters of the city name

When 999999 has been assigned, the first six digits reset to 100000 and the extension 01 is added. When 99999901 has been assigned, the first six digits again reset to 100000 and the extension 02 is added. This sequence repeats as necessary.

[Order]SetRevType1-4DefaultFrom

Applies to

TMWSuite: 2002 and later, EDI, TMW Operations, Fuel Dispatch V.16.10.30

Description

These settings determine the default RevType values for orders. RevType values can be copied from the profile of the order’s Bill To, shipper, consignee, a third party recorded on the order, or the user who created the order.

An entry for these settings consists of two characters; these characters are independent of one another. The first character specifies the profile from which the RevType value is copied. The second character determines if and how the RevType value will change if the source changes.

Multiple comma-delimited entries can be used to determine the default RevType value based on multiple profiles.

In TMWSuite, these settings apply to Order Entry and Dispatch.

In TMW Operations, these settings apply to Order Maintenance and the Trip Folder.

In Fuel Dispatch, these settings apply to Call On Demand Order Entry and Oil Field Order Entry. To use them, you must have these settings in the [FuelDispatch] section of your TTS50:

  • DefaultUserTerminalOnNewOrder=N

  • SetRevTypesByConsignee=N

Options

Character 1 defines where the default revenue type value comes from.

  • N, X, or blank (default)
    No default revenue type value is provided.

    In Fuel Dispatch:

    • In Call On Demand Order Entry, no default revenue types are displayed for RevType1-4.

    • In Oil Field Order Entry, the RevType1 value is displayed. For RevType2-4, no default revenue type is provided.

  • B
    Bill To’s company profile

  • S
    Shipper’s company profile

  • C
    Consignee’s company profile

  • L
    Current user’s profile

    This option applies to Character 1 for the SetRevType1DefaultFrom and SetRevType2DefaultFrom settings.

    In TMWSuite, your company may have set up the RevType1 field in a user’s profile to represent a booking terminal. When you use this option for the SetRevType1DefaultFrom setting, the default values for both BK:RevType1 and RevType1 are copied from the current user’s profile.

    If you want the Bk:RevType1 field to reflect the user profile setting, but you prefer to have the default RevType1 value copied from a company or third party profile, you can use multiple entries for SetRevType1DefaultFrom, such as:

    SetRevType1DefaultFrom=B1, L1

    Using the example entry, you could replace B with S, C, or T to set the RevType1 field from the shipper, consignee, or third party profile, respectively.

  • T
    Third party’s profile

    Note: Third parties are entities specific to the Third Party Pay feature. This setting is applicable only if Third Party Pay is active.

  • R
    Automatically fill in the RevType 4 field based on RevType relationships established in the RevType1 label in System Administration.

    Warning: This option pertains to a customized feature, Revenue type relationships, designed for a specific TMW client. Do not use this option.

Character 2 defines how the system is to control the replacement of an existing value.

  • 1
    Automatically overwrite an existing value when its default source is changed.

  • 2
    Do not overwrite an existing value when its default source is changed.

  • 3
    When the default source for an existing value is changed, the system will prompt the user before replacing the existing value.

    In Fuel Dispatch’s Oil Field Order Entry, this option works only when Character 1 is set to S (shipper). It does not work when Character 1 is set to B (Bill To) or C (consignee). Also, the T and R options are not applicable in Fuel Dispatch.

  • 4
    Do not override an existing value with one of UNKNOWN.

    Note: If the new value is something other than UNKNOWN, the system automatically overwrites the existing value. No warning is displayed.

    • In TMWSuite, this option does not work if you are using the DefaultOrdRevType1FromDriver General Info Table key to have the system provide the RevType1 value on the order from the DrvType1 value in the profile of the primary driver assigned on the trip.

    • In Fuel Dispatch’s Call On Demand Order Entry and Oil Field Order Entry, this option works when Character 1 is set to S (shipper), B (Bill To), or C (consignee). Also, the T and R options are not applicable in Fuel Dispatch.
