POD and POC Layout and Mapping


CALIDUS ePOD

22nd March 2019 - 1.0
Reference: REQ 354402












































Overview

This document describes the proposed layout and field mapping for the POD / POC (Proof of Delivery / Collection) document to be developed for Anchor Bay Construction. This document has been written in a manner such that it can be approved by non-technical representatives of Anchor Bay Construction whilst also being of sufficient detail to allow the Functional or Technical Specification phase for this area to begin.

Scope and Limitations

This document is based on information provided by Anchor Bay Construction in emails and points clarified and confirmed in subsequent emails.

  • The changes will be made in the latest version of the CALIDUS ePOD system.


POC and POD Layouts

This section shows the proposed layout of the POD (Proof of Delivery) and POC (Proof of Collection) document, with annotated notes for clarification.

POD and POC Mapping

This section describes the source of information that appears on the POD, which can come from various sources:

  • Imported
    • Imported into the ePOD Admin system in the job and load details sent by Anchor Bay Construction.
  • ePOD Admin
    • User entered and maintained in the ePOD Admin server screens.
  • ePOD Mobile
    • Data captured during the ePOD mobile delivery / collection process and uploaded to the ePOD Admin server.
  • Fixed Text
    • Text that is embedded in the POD layout. To change these in future will require OBSL to update the report layout.

POD and POC Layouts

The annotated layout for the electronic POD document is on the following pages.

  • POD Document is the delivery note
  • POC Document is the collection note
