Navigating Freight Movement Statuses

Introduction

AgriChain simplifies the management of freight movements (loads) and have different Statuses and Sub-statuses to highlight the progress of the freight movement.

Freight Movement Statuses

AWAITING CONFIRMATION: Shown to the creator when the movement has been sent to the counterparty but has not been accepted or rejected.

ACTION PENDING: Shown to the receiver when the movement and its associated changes (if applicable) has been received but has yet to be accepted or rejected it by the receiver.

Common Questions

Can a confirmed freight movement be rejected?
No, once a freight movement is confirmed, it cannot be rejected. Rejection is only an option before confirmation.


What triggers the transition from "Open" to "In Progress" for a freight movement?
The movement's status changes to "In Progress" when the pick up of the load has commenced.

How is the status "Completed" different from "Delivered" for a freight movement?

"Delivered" indicates that the required tonnage has reached the delivery site but there are incomplete outload (pick up) or inload (delivery) details. "Completed" movements are delivered loads with their outload and inload details fully entered. The AgriChain platform will automatically mark a delivered movement as "Completed" when all details are fully inputted.

Is it possible to void a freight movement after it has been confirmed?

Yes, a freight movement can be voided after confirmation, and the void status will be shown once the receiver of the void request accepts it.

Can an amend request be sent for a freight movement in the "Completed" status?

Yes, an amend request can be sent, but acceptance depends on the counterparty. If accepted, the status changes to "Amended."

Can an amendment request be withdrawn after being sent?

Yes, the sender can withdraw an amend request before the counterparty accepts it.

When are freight movement broker invoice statuses assigned?

"Freight Movement Brokerage Invoiced" statuses indicate the invoicing of complete brokerage fees as defined in the freight movement and/or the original freight order or contract.

Can a void request be sent for a freight movement with movements marked as "Completed"?

Yes, a void request can be sent, but acceptance depends on the counterparty. If accepted, the status changes to "Void."
