Container Fan-Out and Breakbulking

The Container Fan-Out action supports containerized breakbulk scenarios. The Container Fan-Out action supports both breaking a multi-container shipment on the last leg or a single container of breakbulk cargo. The Container Fan-Out action splits the container(s) into multiple shipments, using a user-specified quantity, that can then be placed in separate vehicles. A single container is split to vehicles without the need for containers.

Complete the following steps to use the Container Fan-Out action:

  1. L og in to the ONE system.

  2. Create a shipment. See the "Creating Shipments using a Standard Template" section of the Online Help for more information.

  3. Select Menu/Favs > Transportation > Search Shipments.
    In the NEO UI, users can click on the Menus/Favs icon on the left sidebar and type in the name of the screen in the menu search bar. For more information, see "Using the Menu Search Bar."
    The Search Shipments screen appears.
