Container Management

TPS Container management allows for the tracking of purchased inventory on a shipping container record. Containers can have inventory included from several purchase order lines, or partial purchase order lines. Actual and expected shipment and receipt dates can also be tracked by shipping agent on the container record. Along with being able to receive the container, in-transit receiving can be enabled when ownership of the inventory needs to be taken at the time the container is loaded. With in-transit receiving, the inventory is received into an ‘on-water’ location and then can be received via an automated transfer order, into its final location when it arrives. This process also enables landed cost application through its journey. Other details like seals, vessel, voyage and bill of lading numbers, as well as cube and weight percentages based on container type, can be tracked. Containers are fully integrated into Business Central’s warehousing module.
