FRO PDF should read 'Export Freight Order' at the heading. And 'Work Order Number' should read FRO Number. Template of what is sent to vendor needs to read "Please see Freight Order", not 'Transport Order'. This double/triple use of terminology is confusing and we need to distinguish freight order from work order number, as we are using both CDS and TMS for several months. A freight order is only synonymous with TMS and will help unify the new use of the term.
Not sure if we have a seperate idea on this, however, terminology in Supplier Connect should match up as well. As shown in screenshot, SC shows Transport no. instead of FRO no. Received several comments from carriers already being confused on what number they need to look at and provide to rail billing team.
Meeting 25 Sep 2023
Discussed with Olga, Shailesh, Pradeep, and Luis S. Terminology on PDF needs review and alignment as this is now a global template matter. Transferring idea to Olga for further discussion with Karl.
Work in progress
