Introduction

Freight orders play a vital role in orchestrating the logistics and delivery of commodities within the AgriChain platform. This guide delineates the process of creating freight orders, whether standalone or linked to a contract, to facilitate seamless freight activities.

Standalone Freight Orders

• A standalone freight order is created independently and is not associated with any specific contract. It is typically utilised for pure freight contracts or internal stock movements, such as site transfer orders.
• To create a standalone freight order, navigate to the relevant section on the AgriChain platform.
• Follow the steps outlined in the article titled "Creating a Standalone Freight Order" for detailed guidance on initiating this process.

Freight Orders Against Contracts

• Freight orders linked to contracts facilitate the execution of freight activities within the context of a specific commodity contract.
• To generate a freight order against a contract, access the appropriate section on AgriChain.
• Utilise the instructions provided in the article titled "Creating a Freight Order Against a Contract" for comprehensive guidance on this procedure.

Q: When should I create a standalone freight order versus one linked to a contract?
A: Create a standalone freight order when dealing with pure freight contracts or internal stock movements. Conversely, generate a freight order against a contract when freight activities are directly tied to contractual agreements, streamlining logistics within that context.
