Within tacoss.eTRADE, contracts are often processed via transport orders at the scale. For the logistical processes, the agricultural trader is provided with lists of so-called slot numbers by the consignee. These are created for delivery and loading periods with quantities and other properties.
From now on, you can use contract slots in a separate program window in tacoss.eTRADE to control logistics goods transactions. These make processing easier, increase transparency for business partners and avoid data entry errors in the processing of goods transactions!
To support the manual entry of contract slots within the contract windows, contract slots can be read from files and assigned to contracts. In addition, incorrect contract slots can be easily removed afterwards.
If several business partners, in particular ship-to parties, send files with contract slots that differ from each other in structure, it is recommended that you create several directories. These can be configured separately as independent WatchServices. As soon as received files are copied to the directories, the watch server recognizes them and reads them separately from each other. The different structure of the data rows is taken into account individually. In addition, a different contract customer can be defined for each WatchService.
If files are accidentally copied and read into the directories multiple times, parameters help to create only missing contract slots and assign them to the contracts.
