Freight Movement

Introduction

In AgriChain, Freight Movement is a tool to record the physical movement of grains from point A to point B. It can be the movement of grain from seller to buyer or transferring from site to site. 

There are three ways of creating a Freight Movement based on different use cases. Users can create Freight Movement:

1. Against a Contract.
   • Creating movement against a contract can effectively draw down the tonnage of contractual obligations and be easily managed in the contract page. 
   • To learn more about creating Freight Movement against a Contract, please refer to the article [Refer Article].
     
2. Against an Order. Or, 
   • An order is a tool for users to efficiently manage and organise freight activities for contracts or without contracts.

3. Independently. 
   • An independent movement has various use cases, such as transporting grain from the field to the on-farm or off-farm storage, or to a different party. 
   • An independent movement can still draw down stocks from storage.

FAQs

Is there a limit on how many freight movements I can create?

There is no limit to how many freight movements users can create, be it an independent movement or against a contract or order, if there is still tonnage left. 

If I created an independent movement but want to assign (allocate) it to a contract or order, would I be able to do it? 

You may reassign (or allocate) the movement to a contract or order as long as the customer, commodity and grade match. Otherwise, the system will trigger a warning message and an opportunity for users to confirm which information is correct.
