Editing Multiple Tickets

Overview

Use this job aid to edit multiple tickets such as those entered for a unit train. The ability to edit multiple tickets saves a lot of time.

To edit multiple tickets:

From the Toolbar, click GRN for Commodity Management.
From the Commodity menu, select Shipments.
From the Shipments menu, select Edit Multiple Tickets.
In the Shipment Id box, click Lookup and then select the shipment number you want to edit.
If you have a lot of shipments to sort through use the 5 boxes below Shipment Id to filter your search. Enter the filtering criteria before doing the lookup for the shipments to have the filtering criteria work.
Select the shipments to work with, one by one or click Multiple to select more that one.
If you select Multiple, this screen will serve to either Select All or Select each ticket separately. When selecting the tickets the X will appear in the Yes column. For this job aid we will go with the default save option and proceed to the next ticket in the shipment.
If you select Defaults the information entered on this screen will serve as default values for all tickets that are edited. To set default for weights and/or grades, click on the Weights button, or the Grades button. You may wish to set the weight base and/or grade base to Estimated, Original, or Final along with other information that you want defaulted on the tickets for weights and grades. If you want to set default remarks for the tickets, click the Remarks button.
Type any other default information you want on the tickets in the additional fields.
Click OK.
The options on the navigation window correspond to the 7 options on the Edit Tickets navigation submenu. For each ticket, the process automatically goes to any screen set to Y without going to the navigation submenu: General information = If Y, go directly to the General Information window; Freight/Miscellaneous = If Y, go directly to the Freight/Miscellaneous window; Weight Certificates = If Y, go directly to the Weight Certificates window; Grade Certificates = If Y, go directly to the Grade Certificates window; Ticket Remarks = If Y, go directly to the Ticket Remarks window; Applications = If Y, go directly to the Applications window; Save = If Y, the process automatically saves when finished and goes to the next ticket. If N, the process returns to the navigation submenu when completed with the other windows so that you can edit additional windows.
For this job aid, we have selected Y for General Information, Weight Certificates, and Grade Certificates.
Click OK.
The shipment with its associated tickets is displayed with total number of tickets and total net units shown at the top of the window.
Following the order of screens that had a Y placed next to them in step 13, the first screen that appears is the General Information screen. Make any necessary edits such as Vehicle Id and Update Position. There is also a Skip button if you do not wish to edit a particular ticket.
To view current weights and grades, click OK.
The first ticket will appear on the screen. Select the Weight Certificates and click Continue.
Change any of the information that you need. Then click OK.
It will bring you to the Grade Certificates.
Once you have made any changes if you click on All, it will change all the tickets you selected.
At the completion of all the tickets in the shipment, the system will return you to the ticket list window for the shipment.
