Loads can be created in two different ways, and the method used will depend on the operational requirements.
The available methods are:
- By an interface from the HOST system.
- Manually from the Supplier Receipt - Summary or Customer Shipment - Summary screens.
Interface from HOST
This method does not require any input from the user.
The Load will be sent down automatically from the HOST system, and the Receipts or Shipments will also contain the Load ID, which will automatically assign them to the required Load.
