Extended Scanning cut-off time

Production date: 30.10.2024

To improve flexibility in the CargoStream workflow, we have extended the configurable cut-off time for scanning stations.

Details

• New Cut-Off Time Range: The cut-off time can now be set between 16:00 (4 PM) and 15:00 (3 PM) the following day, providing an extended range for scanning operations.

• Default Cut-Off: As before, the default cut-off time remains at 00:00 unless otherwise configured.

Activation to EDG/Buddy

• Parcels scanned with "Activation EDG/Buddy" before the cut-off time will appear in EDG/Buddy on the next distribution date.

  • Example: A parcel scanned on Monday before the cut-off time will show in EDG/Buddy for Tuesday's distribution.

  • Example: The cut-off is set to 0200 Monday night/night to Tuesday, if the parcel is scanned before the cut-off Monday (technically Tuesday), it will show in EDG/Buddy for Tuesday's distribution.

• Parcels scanned with "Activation EDG/Buddy" after the cut-off time will appear in EDG/Buddy on the distribution date after the next (+1 day).

  • Example: A parcel scanned on Monday after the cut-off time will show in EDG/Buddy for Wednesday’s distribution.

Note: This cut-off applies universally across all products and aliases for each station.

This update offers enhanced flexibility, allowing stations to adapt cut-off times more effectively to meet operational needs.
