Re: Change a Customer

Hi,

The way we using it:

- We receive an order modification from a OMS.
- If the delivery location changes (the customer from our customer) an agent checks whether the shipment is in transit etc. Depending on wha tis the outcome the shipment will be changed, withdrawn etc.

If your customer changes, I can imagine you have several possibilities. If on sea you can't just reroute it, but when it is still in the port perhaps you can. A lot is depending on your setup, using multi-legs or single leg.
If your shipment is already at sea, your container will be delivered in the destination port anyway. THis means that you want to re-route the delivery (land) leg. Because that is not on its way you can do that.
I think you can also log this by raising events through the UI.

If the payer of the transport costs also changes, you want to change the bill-to party (if you set it up this way). But as I understand you are a supplier of the goods, I can imagine that the transport costs are paid another way.

Hope it helps.
