Module Objective

The Shipment Planning Inbox module serves as the approval center for all Shipment Planning documents that have been created. Every trip plan or shipping route must be reviewed and approved here by an authorized manager (e.g., a Logistics Manager) before the schedule is considered final and ready for execution.

1. Main View (Plan List)

The main page of this module is an "inbox" that displays all shipment planning documents requiring your action.

View Explanation

This page provides a summary of all shipment plans that are awaiting approval.

• Filters: You can search for a specific document by Shipment Planning Number or a Date range.

• Plan List: The table below will display all documents awaiting action, with columns such as Shipment Planning Number, Goods Shipment Date, and Approval Status.

2. Approval Process Steps

The following is the standard workflow for an approver.

Step 1: Access the Inbox

Open the Shipment Planning Inbox module to see the list of plans that require approval.

Step 2: Review the Plan Details

Click on one of the rows in the table to open the detail view of the shipment plan. In the detail page, you can check all the information, such as the route (area), the list of combined Delivery Orders, and the allocated vehicle.

Step 3: Provide Approval

After you review the plan details in Step 2, you will find a button to grant approval (e.g., an "Approve" button) within that detail page. Click the appropriate button to complete the review process.
