Forwarder Transport Cancellation

Forwarder Transport Cancellation

Use Case

A forwarder wants to cancel a transports or some it's orders, e.g. because the transport was cancelled by the forwarder's customer.

Description

  • To cancel a transport, send the same transport DTO with the value of ‘status’ attribute set to “D” (Deleted).

  • If the transport is assigned to a carrier, the carrier will be informed about the cancellation

  • If the transport is published as Spot Match, the publication ends and all price offers from carriers are discarded

  • If the transport is Direct Match and waiting for the carrier's confirmation, the confirmation request will be cancelled

  • In the following cases a cancellation will not be possible:

    • one day after the latest of all unloading (and loading dates) on deliveries or, if no loading and unloading dates were specified, the date of transport assignment

    • as soon as a loading status was set in the Time Slot Management, e.g. “Loading begin”

    • as soon as a Transport Visibility status was set for the transport, e.g. “ETA Estimated Time of Arrival“

  • There are two possibilities to cancel an order of a transport: 

    • send the transport again with the order ‘status’ set to “D” (Deleted)

    • send the transport again without the order
