Adding intermodal stop to an order

Click on Plus icon to add the intermodal connection
Make the selection of intermodal connection between:
*Accompanied: the connections that the driver is included in the route*Unaccompanied: the connections where the driver does not get included in the route
Add the line that you would like to use in the order.
Select the time table that is applicable and the departure date
Set the dates and hours of the vessel/train and any other necessary information like references and save it.
If your connection is unaccompanied, the order will be split into legs as below:
If your connection is accompanied, you will have 1 trip/1 consignment for this route:
Intermodal List View - Updates
When viewing the list of trips, it is possible to update the Pre-Boarding Notification, Goods Movement Reference and Booking Reference directly from the page.
Click in the column for the order you want to add the reference for.
A text box should open, add the reference and click the SAVE icon.
The references will automatically copy to the Booking Details in the Order.
Improved visibility for booked connections
Visibility of connection details for arriving or departing connections is now available in Planning. Under To plan: Orders and Resources there are 4 new columns with information on the intermodal arrival and departure location and dates:
Departure time intermodal leg
Departure location intermodal leg
Arrival time intermodal leg
Arrival location intermodal leg
Click 'Edit Columns' and toggle on.
Booking related references are now visible on the terminal stop as well. These can be added to the booking data, and will show when the terminal stop is expanded.
Customer Impact
Better overview of intermodal information on orders and trips
Easier planning by having intermodal arrival and departure information easily available
Quick Actions Added
Where customers have a high volume of intermodal orders, it was cumbersome to complete mass updates across multiple trips. For instance, where sailings need to be verified, there was a heavy manual component to verify and update trips individually. A 'Quick Actions' function on the Intermodal Planning page now enables efficient completion of trips and tasks without the need to process each individually.
Key benefits:
Save time by completing multiple trips at once
Reduce risk of human error in repetitive tasks
Maintain clear overview of pending actions
