The LTL Existing Order Selection Window has now been updated to include filtering and sorting capabilities to aid users in adding additional LTL Orders to Loads.
Once a sort or filter is used on a column, the icon will turn pink to indicate that a sort/filter is in place.
To remove the sort or filter, click on the icon and select ‘Clear’.
Unlike FTL Loads, a LTL Load can often contain multiple Orders. Sometimes it is necessary to add or remove Orders after the Load has been created. This can easily be done without having to create a whole new Load.
The easiest way to either add or remove Orders from a Load is within the Order Information Block in the Load Maintenance screen.
To navigate to the Load Maintenance screen (this is also known as the Edit Load screen), if on the Load Grid, click on the drop down arrow right of the Load Number and select ‘Edit’ from the selections.
When the Load Maintenance screen loads, scroll down towards the bottom. The Order Information block is located on the right side of the screen, under the map.
This block will contain icons, buttons and information regarding Orders contained within the Load.
To add an Order to the Load, click on the ‘+Existing Order‘ button. (Clicking on +New Order will take you the Order Building screen.)
A popup will appear that contains a list of the Orders that are both of LTL type and in Open status.
Click the boxes to select each available Order you would like to add to the Load.
When you have selected all desired Orders, click the ‘Add to Load’ button.
Make sure to click ‘Save Load’ to ensure your changes were saved.
Sometimes you will need to remove an Order from a Load rather than add one. To do this, you will need to click on the ‘X’ remove icon next to the Order you wish to remove.
A popup will appear asking you to confirm that you want to remove the Order.
Click ‘Ok’ to remove.
Don’t forget to always remember to click ‘Save Load’ to ensure all changes are properly saved.
If you have already entered all of the LTL orders that will be turning into a load, you can easily build the load from the Orders grid.
Simply click the checkboxes of all the orders you wish to build a load from.
Then click the black dropdown arrow next to any Order Number.
Select Create Load. The system will take you to the Load Maintenance screen to finish building your load.

New features have been added to the Load Creation and Load Maintenance screens that will help when building or editing LTL Loads that have identified and listed commodities in their stops.
Stop and Commodity identifiers have been added to aid in planning the route.
A video has been created showing where the new features are located.
