We have a customer in export/import/freight forward/logistics
But the implementation is constrained by an existing system (Magaya),
so is not clean interms of openerp structures
Interesting, I imagine there's many systems like Magaya that could be
integrated with OpenERP (or partially replaced by OpenERP)
Since there's no standard or 'base freight modules' to build on, all
integrators have to create their own modules which are usually "just
enough to get their job done".
I look forward to discussing this topic.
I wonder how freight handling differs between countries. Especially
truckload and less than truckload (LTL)

Hi,
I am looking for ideas on structuring a collection of modules that
will be used to record the details of freight (shipments) and
related logistical information.
a shipment being a collection of physical handling units (boxes,
pallets, etc) with the same ship date, carrier, carrier service,
origin and destination
shipments may have additional attributes such as a list of
commodities (description, weight, freight class, nmfc) etc.
handling units and shipments have reference numbers, dimensions
(actual and carrier adjusted), package type, zero or more carrier
assigned reference numbers, SSCC/UCC-18 number and so forth.
A typical example for use would be when fulfilling an order
sometimes individual boxes need to be uniquely identified (SSCC
identifier) and a record is needed of which box each product-item
is packed into. A carrier assigned reference number (tracking
number) may be assigned to each box (handling unit) or to the
shipment as a whole, and the contents information (delivery order
lineitem details), carrier reference numbers and SSCC numbers may
need to be transmitted via EDI to Walmart, Target and other customers.
At the moment Openerp doesn't seem to have the ability to store
more than a single carrier reference number per delivery order.
Another example would be selecting a partner contact from an
address book and shipping that contact some (non-inventory item),
e.g. documents by priority overnight letter.
This is just a subset of what I'd like to discuss to see how best
to fit these concepts into the new WMS flow in v8 (maybe v7 too)
Is anyone interested in this topic?
Thanks
