Load Tendering

Overview of Load Tendering

A load tender request is a shipment pick up request sent by a shipper to a carrier. In the load tendering process, you can tender a single delivery, multi-leg deliveries, or a trip consisting of multiple deliveries.

Load tendering involves transmitting a load tender request to a carrier and enabling a carrier to respond to the request by accepting or rejecting the request. The load tender request includes Commodity, Hazardous Material Details, Dock Close Time, Freight Terms, Delivery Number(s), and Consignee's Order Number(s). The load tender request enables the carrier to view detailed pickup and delivery information. Carrier remarks entered through the carrier portal tender response can be viewed on the Trip Workbench, detailed information.

Load tendering involves sending a workflow message to a carrier via e-mail. The carrier can logon to the carrier portal and respond to the tender request. Load tendering is primarily used in the less than truckload (LTL), full truckload (TL), and marine modes

of transport. In the small parcel segment, carrier manifesting is equivalent to tendering. Since large number of deliveries are processed in the small parcel environment, it is not effective to tender each delivery to a carrier.

The load tendering functionality provided in Oracle Transportation Execution is implemented using Oracle Workflow.

Note: When tendering an inbound delivery, the carrier site that is associated with the delivery's organization is used.

Note: Tendering, in Oracle Transportation Execution, can be triggered upon release from Oracle Transportation Planning.
