Reason Codes

This screen provides all details of the codes in the CALIDUS ePOD system.

Codes are set up at many reasons, denoted by Type:

• Job - Reason Codes for cancelling whole jobs.
• Detail - Reason Codes for cancelling or short-delivering containers and items.
• Vehicle Damage codes - used exclusively for the bespoke Vehicle EPOD system. They are of types:
  • Location
  • Type
  • Severity
• Claused Delivery reason codes - used when the system is configured for Claused Delivery codes.
• DU - Delivery Units or Asset Types

Note: Typically, this static data is part of the data imported into the system from external ERP or TMS system (for example CALIDUS TMS) and would not require any further maintenance. However, if the external system does not pass this information in, or CALIDUS ePOD/eSERV is being run as a stand-alone system, this screen can be used.

This page provides functionality to View, Create and Edit Codes.

The screen allows users to filter data by:

• Code
• Description
• Type - a drop down list of the types above.
• Job Group - a drop-down list of job groups.

Once the filter information is entered and the Search button is pressed, all matching codes are displayed in a table below.
