Destinations

In Moveware, a destination refers to all the cities, states/provinces, countries, and regions that are used throughout the system. These Destination codes are used in various ways and have a significant impact on many different areas of Moveware, including: 

• Jobs

• Waybills

• Rate Request

• Users

• Agents

• Rates

• Reporting

The Destinations table, which is used to add, modify, or delete destination information, can be accessed through Administration > Company Setup > Destinations.

Jobs

When adding a job file from the Job Details screen, the system validates the Origin Code and Destination Code fields – both of which point at the Destinations table. This validation is in place because the chosen destination could affect the job file in various ways.  

For example, in the Destinations table, the city of New York (USNYC), could be configured with a default Port of New Jersey, so that when New York was selected as the Origin Code of the move file, the system would auto-populate New Jersey into the Origin Port as well. Another default that can be set against a particular Destination code is the distance (kilometers) from the default Port. All of these defaults can vary based on the type of move (i.e. Air Freight, Groupage, etc.). 

Waybills

Similarly to Moves Management, the Waybill Management screen also requires Origin and Destination Codes to be entered, and can use this information to auto-populate information relating to the Origin and Destination Ports. 

Rate Requests / Quotes to Agents

The same rules apply as in the Job Details screen of Move Management 

Users 

Moveware users can have default destination codes assigned in their User Settings (Employee Management > User Details > Dest Code field). 

The purpose of this, is so when a user enters a new file into the system, Moveware can auto-populate the Origin Code and Destination Code fields with the user’s default city, state, and/or country – allowing for quicker file-entry. This can be useful for users who work mostly with local job files, since the move’s origin and destination locations will always be the same as the user’s. 

Agents 

The Agent listing also allows a Destination Code to be assigned to each Agent. The purpose of assigning a default destination to an Agent record is so that, if desired, the system can automatically assign that agent to a job file based on the location of the move. 

Rates 

The Rates module within Moveware uses the Destination table extensively. Rates can based on Origin and Destination Codes, Ports, and Regions. The Rate Finder uses the Destination table to determine these values and matches it to any entered Rates. 

Reporting 

Many Reports, such as the Sales Branch Destination Analysis and the Export Destination Analysis Summary, will use these destination codes to provide information of jobs based on their locations.
