Client Request

AE Parker's TMS system cannot provide Pall-Ex consignment barcode, which is required for Pall-Ex integration. Only the Consignment ID can be provided. However, the Pall-Ex integration piece is still required for AE Parker. A mechanism must be put in place where this integration can still be provided without this essential piece of information.

Aptean Solution

The CALIDUS ePOD system will be modified to obtain the consignment barcode from the Pall-Ex TWINE system using the provided Consignment ID. This will be configured so that this additional extract of the barcode will only take place if the import is marked as requiring this for that particular site. The Partnerlink Import configuration for AE Parker will be modified to add a flag to identify that this functionality is required - this will be configurable through the Admin Import/Export Configuration screen. If flagged in this way, the process importing jobs will obtain the consignment barcode from the Pall-Ex TWINE interface using the provided consignment ID, using the TWINE webservice, for Pall-Ex jobs only (i.e. those with a PALLEX job group that are configured with an export to Pall-Ex). Note: The manual import mechanism for Partnerlink jobs will not be modified - this is not seen as required as part of this change, and should be requested separately if required. The wrong data is being provided, resulting in this change The import processing will be slower, potentially affecting all partners, depending on the number of Pall-Ex jobs requiring importing for Parkers (or any partner that cannot provide the consignment barcode). This is especially true if the Pall-Ex TWINE system is unavailable when the jobs are being imported, as this will result in a time-out delay (usually 30 seconds) for each Pall-Ex job processed. Should this request for information fail, all the jobs in the file will be rejected, requiring the whole file to be re-imported. As per normal processing, an email will be sent to the defined recipient if this is the case. An alternative solution to this problem is for the Parker TMS to get the correct consignment barcode data before sending to CALIDUS ePOD.
