Business You will create the Warsaw Manufacturing Plant, use the public port
Scenario locations of Bremerhaven and Houston, and your final destination will be
the existing San Diego General Store.
The first shipment will be traveling from Warsaw, Poland, to Bremerhaven,

Germany, via Bison Trucking. Bison has quoted you country to country
flat rates. You will be charged 400.00 EUR for the move, using a 40 ft
ocean container.
Core Competence 319

Atlantic Container Line will be transporting the clothing to Houston, TX,

USA. They have quoted you a per container rate, and there is also a
terminal handling accessorial associated with the move.
There is a railhead at the port, allowing Roadrunner Rail to make the final
delivery into San Diego, CA, USA. Roadrunner Rail quoted you a per
container rate, but the rate is only applicable with certain items. After
defining a multi-leg itinerary, you will create the multi-leg shipment.

In this lesson, you will learn how to:
• Explain what an HTS ID is and why it is important.

• Explain what a STCC is and why it is important.
• Verify the existence of a commodity and items.
Core Competence 325

What is HTS? The Harmonized Tariff System (HTS) is a universal commodity

classification system that is used to provide duty rates for virtually every
item that exists.
• The World Customs Organization (WCO) develops the Harmonized

System nomenclature.
• Every item that is exported or imported is assigned a unique ten-
digit identification code; the first 6-digits of the classification
number are universal, the last four may vary from country to
country.
• HTS IDs can be assigned to items and rates, and can be used as
information for international documentation.
HTS IDs can be set up as

public data in GC3.
What is a STCC? • The Standard Transportation Commodity Code (STCC) is the

industry-defined code to describe a commodity that a railcar can
carry.
• The Association of American Railroads publishes STCCs.
• A STCC is a seven digit numeric code representing 38 commodity
groupings.
• STCCs are used on waybills and other shipping documents. In this
exercise, we will define a rate associated with the STCC code on
the item.
• STCCs are used in the United States, Canada, and Mexico.
326 Core Competence

STCCs can be set up as public

data in GC3. Each seven-digit
code has a unique identifier
and a description.

340 Core Competence

What are Accessorial charges are services performed for an additional charge. For
Accessorials? example, accessorial services could include carrier unload, container
service charge, C.O.D. service, signature service, or storage-in-transit.
• Accessorial charges can be applied to locations, orders, and items.

• An accessorial assignment on, for example, an order, does not
limit the rates that GC3 can use to calculate shipment costs. It
only determines whether the accessorial charges are applied if a
matching accessorial is on the rate.
What are Special A Special Service is a service that is required for a shipment to occur. For
Services? example, delivery to a construction site where an inspection is necessary.
• Special services can be applied to locations, orders, and items.
• GC3 can only use rates that include a specific Special Service if
you have that specific Special Service on, for example, an order.
• You can also assign an Accessorial Code(s) to a Special Service if
charges apply for the Special Service.

Define Rail Rail rates are defined on Rate Offerings and Rate Records. Several
Attributes additional data attributes can be defined with rail rates that qualify which
rail rates are applicable for GC3 to use in planning. These attributes are:
• Route Codes
• Rule 11
• COFC/TOFC (Container on Flat Car, Container and Chassis on Flat
Car, and Trailer on Flat Car)
• Intermodal Service Plan
350 Core Competence

Route Codes Route codes are used to define a route between two stations on a rail line.
• Rail route codes can be assigned to a Rate Record to determine
routes for rail shipments.
• This information can be passed to the Bill of Lading.
Route Code Definition
Carrier 1 (CHGO) Carrier 2 Carrier 1 will hand off a car in

Chicago to Carrier 2
Order Origin = LA
Order Destination = NYC
Carrier 1 Carrier 2 Route Code

Carrier 1 (STLO) Carrier 2
Rate = 4500 USD
LA St. Louis NYC
• The rate is qualified by the route code. If GC3 picks the lower rate
of 3000 USD, then the freight needs to travel through Chicago.
• GC3 will send the bill of lading as pickup notification to only Carrier
1, and will treat this shipment as a single leg.
• For settlement, GC3 will receive an invoice from Carrier 1. It will
be Carrier 2’s responsibility to bill Carrier 1.
Rule 11 Rule 11 shipments use route codes as described above; the only difference
is during settlement. Carriers bill independently for the leg they moved
and therefore GC3 would receive two invoices, one from each carrier.
• To configure Rule 11 shipments, you need to define Rule 11

information on locations, rates, itinerary, and items.
GC3
Invoice Invoice
Tender
Carrier 1 Carrier 2
Core Competence 351

COFC / TOFC Just as a route code helps GC3 qualify rates, the same is true with
Container on Flat Car, Container and Chassis on Flat Car, and Trailer on
Flat Car.
• Rail carriers charge different rates as to whether you are shipping

COFC or TOFC.
• This option can be indicated on the rates to let GC3 know with
each rate, what is the nature of the equipment that will be
shipped.
Intermodal An intermodal shipment is defined as a rail shipment that has a truckload

Service Plan movement as at least one leg.
TL Rail TL
Rail Rail
Pickup Deliver
Yard Yard
Intermodal rates are quoted by the rail carrier based on who is responsible
for the freight. Options are:
• Door to door – The rail carrier is responsible for pickup and final
delivery.
• Ramp to ramp – The rail carrier is only responsible from rail yard
to rail yard. The shipper is responsible from pickup to rail yard,
and rail yard to delivery.
• Ramp to door – The shipper is responsible for pickup to rail yard,
and the rail carrier is responsible for final delivery.
• Door to ramp – The rail carrier is responsible for pickup and
delivery to the rail yard. The shipper is responsible for delivery
from the rail yard to the delivery.
Define Rail You define these rate attributes on the Rate Record.
Attributes in
GC3
352 Core Competence

Rate Service To define a transit time for a rail shipment, you define the number of days
to move from origin to destination.
By setting the Rate Service Type

to LOOKUP, you are telling GC3
to look up the transit time.
The transit time for the lane from

Texas to California is 4 days.
Rate Costs Here is a specific example of one way to define a rail rate. This per unit
Based on STCC rail rate is only applicable for the items that have a defined STCC of
1053680. This is defined on the Rate Costs tab of the Rate Record.

• Define an Automated Data Assignment Rule.

• Explain what data can be auto assigned to which business objects.
• Create an Auto Assignment Rule to automatically assign an

Involved Party to an Order Release.
374 Core Competence

What is You can define rules to automatically assign specific data to order bases,
Automatic order releases, rate offerings, shipments, invoices, and bills.
Assignment? The assignment occurs based on rules you define. For example, you can
automatically assign:
• A specific involved party to an order release when the source

location of the order is XXX_PHOENIX_DC
• A specific involved party to a shipment when the service provider
is XXX_BIG_TEXAN and the destination is
XXX_LOS_ANGELES_STORE
The following is data that can be automatically assigned.
GC3 can automatically assign: To:
Involved Parties • Order base, order base line,

order base ship unit
• Order release, order release
line
• Shipment, shipment stop,
shipment stop ship unit
• Rate Offering
Packaged Item • Order base line, order base

• Order release line
Release Method • Order base
Reference Numbers • Customer bill

• Invoice
Text Templates • Order base, order release,

• Shipment
• Customer Bill
• Invoice
What is an Auto To automatically assign certain data to business objects, you need to
Assignment define an Auto Assignment Rule that includes:
Rule? • The objects that should be assigned
• The objects that determine when to assign values
• The values for both these objects
Core Competence 375

What Data will When defining an auto assign rule, you first define:
be Assigned?
• Auto Assign Type ID – what objects should be assigned.
- In this example, an involved party will be assigned to a new
order release.
• Pre qualification criteria – if these requirements fail, the rule will
stop here and not process any further.
- For example, if there is already an involved party with a
qualifier of LOGISTICS on an order, then stop processing this
rule.
Auto Assign Type defines what data this

rule is assigning.
Define pre-qualification criteria here.
Define the Next, you define the objects that determine when to assign values.
Criteria for
For example:
Assignment
• Assign an involved party to an order release based on the
destination of the order release
• Assign a reference number to an invoice based on the mode of the
shipment
Header – Assign… Criteria – Based on…

In this example, the involved party assignment is based on the destination

of the order.
376 Core Competence

You can define multiple Auto

Assign Criteria Æ
Define the Last, you define the values for what to assign and when. For example:
Values
• Assign the involved party of SD_PLANNER to an order release
when the destination is the San Diego Store
• Assign a reference number of 4335832 to an invoice when the
shipment mode is truckload
Header – Assign… Criteria – Based on… Definition – Values

What is an Order An Order Release is an order that is ready for shipment. You learned
Release? previously that you could define an Order Base and create one or more
Order Releases from that Order Base, like a blanket purchase order.
However, based on your business process, you may not have an Order
Base/Order Release relationship. You may only have ready to ship orders,
and in this case, you would define Order Releases with no relationship to
Order Bases.
This is a summary on the Order Base/Order Release relationship.

Add an Order Similar to adding an Order Base, you enter the following details on an
Release Order Release:
• Order Release ID
• Reference Numbers
• Line Items and Release Method or Ship Unit details
Add the Order Because of business rules, you may need to add constraints to your order.
Constraints For example:
• This order cannot be consolidated with any other orders – it must
ship alone.
• This order must use itinerary XYZ.
• Carrier A must transport this order.
• This order must be shipped truckload.
GC3 uses this information when planning your shipments.
You can define order level constraints or leg level constraints:
• Order level constraints impact the planning of the primary leg

shipment
• Leg level constraints impact the planning of legs besides the
primary leg

• Gain an understanding of the uses of audit trail in GC3.
Core Competence 389

What is Audit Audit trail allows you to see what changes have been made to business
Trail? objects.
With audit trail, you define which business objects to monitor. For
example, you can monitor every date and quantity change made to orders.
You can view before and after values, along with which user made the
change, and when the change was made.
You can audit specific records from the Results page of the following:
• Order Base
• Order Release
• Shipment
• Location
• Service Provider
• Rates
• Invoices and Bills
Levels of There are two levels of auditing.

Auditing
• Data Change Auditing
- This option saves information including the ID of what was
changed, the change made, the user who made the change,
and the date and time of change.
- This is the default setting.
• Before/After Value Auditing
- This option collects the before and after values as well as the
default information (data change auditing).
- This option needs to be turned on by the system
administration.
390 Core Competence

Configure the You need to configure audit trail to start auditing business objects’
Audit Trail changes. You do this through Business Process Automation > Audit Trail
Management > Audit Control.
You can specify which business

objects you want to audit.
Notify Subjects You define which business objects to audit in Notify Subjects.
In this example, we want to audit orders bases when there is a
modification. You do this through the Communication Manager in Contact
Notification.
You tell GC3 which events you are interested in auditing by

assigning a contact with the communication method of AUD.

Workspace? and related data. From within a workspace, you can:
• Edit or view the details about multiple business objects
• Perform actions and SmartLinks on business objects
• Highlight business objects as processed
You design your workspaces and the data in each workspace so that it is
based on the data you are responsible for and the tasks you perform on
that data.
With a workspace, you have multiple business objects in one view. For
example, based on your responsibilities, you may define your workspace
with:
• All invoices and vouchers relating to all buy shipments originating

in the USA.
• All planned order releases and the associated buy and sell
shipments.
• Order bases that have not been fully released, and any associated
order releases.
GC3 is shipped with several default workspaces in the following process

menu options:
• Order Management

Workspace
• Labels can be defined in your own domain, or in the PUBLIC
domain for everyone to use.
• If you define an image, it will be displayed to the right of the
workspace name. The image can be a .gif, .jpeg, or .bmp.
Core Competence 403

You can copy an

existing workspace.
If you had defined an image

on the Workspace
Identification tab, it would
replace the folder to the left of
the workspace name.
404 Core Competence

Then define what business objects you want to display in the workspace,
for example, orders, shipments, invoices, etc. These are called list types.
Click here to add a new list type, which is the business

object you want displayed in your workspace.
With each new list type, define:
• List Type – the business object you want displayed

• Label ID – the name of this list type as displayed in your
workspace
• Screen Set ID – this controls the display attributes of the Results
page that appears when you view details in your workspace
• Order By – select an option here to control how to sort the objects
in the list
• Image ID – define an image to display next to the list name
• Field Name – by default, the object GID appears on the workspace
(GID = Global Identifier, which is DOMAIN.ID). This allows you to
configure how to display the object in the list. Use {} to define
format string. You can use commas, spaces, and dashes also.
- Instead of DOMAIN.ORDER RELEASE ID displayed in the
workspace, it will be displayed as SOURCE LOCATION ID,
DESTINATION LOCATION ID. For example,
XXX_PHOENIX_DC, XXX_LOS_ANGELES_STORE.
Core Competence 405

By default, all lists you create for a list type will be displayed in
the workspace. Here you can selectively include or exclude lists.
{0} represents the Source Location, and {1} represents the

Destination Location. If Field Names are not defined, the
GID is displayed.
Because field names are defined, the orders in the list on your workspace
are displayed based on source location and destination location, not GID.
In the workspace you will create for this class, you want to display both
order and shipment information.
406 Core Competence

Add the Up to this point, you have defined the workspace. Next you need to add it
Workspace to as a link on your menu, then specific data you want displayed in your
your Menu workspace.
Note: To add a new link to the menu or configure your menu in any
way, you may want to contact a superuser or database
administrator who is knowledgeable about your user set-up and the
menu assigned to you.
In this class, you are using the ADMIN menu. To create a new link, click
the new row arrow on the menu.
Click here to add the new workspace to your

menu.
You are creating a new menu link versus a group, which is a grouping of
menu options.
Core Competence 407

After you select Link and click create, enter which workspace you want as
a menu option.
This is the text that will appear on the

menu.
Enter the Workspace ID here.
After you click save, the link is added to the bottom of the menu. You can
click the up and down arrows to specify where you want this link to be
located on your menu.
408 Core Competence

Create Lists with The last step in configuring your workspace is to define what specific
Saved Queries business objects to display.
When you defined your workspace, you defined which business objects to
display, for example orders and shipments.
Now, in the new workspace, you define specifically which orders and which
shipments you want to view and work with based on saved queries. For
example, unplanned orders and shipments leaving your West Coast DC.
Define… Where… For example…
Business objects to Workspace Orders and shipments

display in your Configuration
workspace
What specific orders In the newly created Display all unplanned

view in your saved queries shipments leaving the
workspace west coast DC
To define which orders to see in the list:
• Click the list type in the left pane, and the list management page
appears in the right pane.
• Select a saved query, or create a new one. This saved query will
provide a list of orders.
- For example, create a saved query for all unplanned orders.
• Save the saved query as a list. The results of the saved query will
be displayed in your list.
- Now when you click in the left pane, all unplanned orders will
be displayed.
Click the list here to display the list management page in the right pane.
Select a saved
query or define a
new one by clicking
open finder. Enter
a List Name to
name the list, and
then click create.
After you click create, the saved query is

added as a list. Click save to save the list.
Core Competence 409

After you create your lists, you can view, edit, and perform actions on the
data.
When you click a list, the

results page is displayed in the
right pane.
Depending on what you click in the left pane, different data is displayed in
the right pane.
Click an item in the list to

display the details in the right
pane.
When you right click, a pop up menu appears.

Marking an item as processed changes the font

Business The Koala Bear Ski Lodge (23 Slope Lane, Denver, Colorado, 80202, USA)
Scenario is world renowned for the skiing and the Australian food, encore, and
hospitality. You are in charge of logistics operations at The KB Lodge, and
your responsibilities include creating orders and monitoring the movement
of cargo. You import several products from Australia, including two
specialty snack food items of Aussie candy and mints, which are a huge
hit. The Koala Bear Ski Lodge has a fixed stop time of one hour.
Core Competence 423

Case Study: Create, Tender, and Accept a Multi-leg Shipment
You are responsible for importing candy and mints from the port in
Sydney, Australia, to San Diego, CA, and then onto Denver. The supplier
is responsible for getting the freight to the port in Sydney. The KB Lodge
uses APL (a public service provider in GC3 called APLU) to deliver to the
port of San Diego. APL, mode of vessel-co, uses the WESTB Voyage
Service and charges 500.00 USD/20 ft container. The 20 ft containers can
hold up to 38,000 lbs and 1172 cu ft and its dimensions are 19.04 x 7.08 x
7.06 ft.
To deliver the mints and candy from San Diego to Denver, you use Coyote
Carriers, located in Aspen, CO. They charge 1.42 USD/mile with a 300.00
USD minimum from the port of San Diego to Colorado. The transit time is
simulated by GC3 and the rate distance is lookup else estimate. These
rates are valid from 2004 until 2010. Coyote has a dispatcher that you
communicate with via email.
Due to the unique ingredients in the mints, they require a special

inspection. Define this Special Service on the vessel Rate Record, the
truckload Rate Record, and at the order level. There is no extra cost for
the inspection.
The KB Lodge is available for receiving freight between 7AM and 3PM
seven days a week.
Both the mints and candy use a packaging unit of a large box, weighing 25
pounds per package for the candy and 30 pounds per package for the
mints. The inner pack packaging unit for both is a small box. For candy,
there are 20 inner packs per package and 100 inner packs for the mints.
There are no compatibility or temperature restrictions on the candy and
mints.
As the planner, you need to create an order from the Sydney port to The
KB Lodge. You are the logistics contact on the order. The cargo will be
ready today and consists of 10000lb of the candy and 12000lb of mints.
Have explanations turned on throughout this case study to monitor the

GC3 processes.
You will need to create the order, build a shipment, and manually book the
shipment (secure resources) with APL. Log into GC3 as APL and go to
Online Booking/Tendering. Query on the shipment and decline this
booking request because of insufficient resources (EQT). Add a remark
(REM Qualifier) of “No available equipment.”
Additional Hints:
• Because of size restrictions at The KB Lodge, you need to ensure

the 20 ft container is the equipment group chosen by GC3. Create
an Equipment Group Profile and assign this profile to the itinerary.
• You will need to create a new Rate Service for APL using the
WESTB Voyage Service.
• Use the XXX_SIMULATION_TL Rate Service you created earlier for
Coyote Carriers.
• As APL, log into GC3 with the User Name of SERVPROV.APLU and
Password is CHANGEME.
• Use the public port locations of AUSYD and USSAN.
