About Shipment Life Cycles

Shipments in the Transportation system have a life cycle involving several states. The possible shipment states are:

  • Draft: The initial shipment state, when the shipment is still being created.

  • Awaiting: The shipment is waiting for the user to tender it to a carrier.

  • Tendered: The shipment has been tendered to a carrier and is waiting for the carrier to confirm that accept the tender.

  • On Hold: A shipment can be on hold if someone manually places it on hold, or if it meets some hold policy criteria established by the enterprise.

  • Confirmed: The carrier chosen during tendering has accepted the shipment.

  • Pick Ready: The carrier is at the pickup site and the shipment is ready to be loaded.

  • In transit: The shipment is being transported.

  • Delivery Ready: The carrier is at the delivery site and the shipment is ready to be unloaded.

  • Received: The shipment has been delivered.

  • Deleted: The shipment has been deleted.

  • Multi Modal: A shipment is considered multi modal when there are multiple transitions of the shipment during transportation.

  • Closed: The shipment has been closed.
