Abstract
One embodiment provides a method, the method including: generating, utilizing a shipment ordering system, a shipment plan, wherein the shipment plan comprises at least one transportation order for at least one object; receiving, at the shipment ordering system, user input comprising a modification for modifying at least one variable of the shipment plan; validating, using the shipment ordering system, the modification to the shipment plan against information of the shipment ordering system; and tracking, utilizing the shipment ordering system, transportation of the at least one object in view of the shipment plan. Other aspects are claimed and described.
Claims20
A method, the method comprising:
- generating, utilizing a shipment ordering system, a shipment plan, wherein the shipment plan comprises at least one transportation order for at least one object, wherein the shipment plan comprises a plurality of variables, each of the variables corresponding to a piece of information included within the shipment plan;
- receiving, at the shipment ordering system, user input comprising a modification for modifying at least one variable of the plurality of variables of the shipment plan;
- automatically validating, using the shipment ordering system, the modification to the shipment plan against master data contained within a data storage location accessible to the shipment ordering system, wherein the master data comprises information related to the plurality of variables, wherein the automatically validating comprises validating at least a subset of the plurality of variables, wherein the at least a subset comprises the variables affected by the modification;
- and
- tracking, utilizing the shipment ordering system, transportation of the at least one object in view of the shipment plan.
A system, the system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory device that stores instructions that, when executed by the processor, causes the system to:
- generate, utilizing a shipment ordering system, a shipment plan, wherein the shipment plan comprises at least one transportation order for at least one object, wherein the shipment plan comprises a plurality of variables, each of the variables corresponding to a piece of information included within the shipment plan;
- receive, at the shipment ordering system, user input comprising a modification for modifying at least one variable of the plurality of variables of the shipment plan;
- automatically validate, using the shipment ordering system, the modification to the shipment plan against master data contained within a data storage location accessible to the shipment ordering system, wherein the master data comprises information related to the plurality of variables, wherein the automatically validating comprises validating at least a subset of the plurality of variables, wherein the at least a subset comprises the variables affected by the modification;
- and
- track, utilizing the shipment ordering system, transportation of the at least one object in view of the shipment plan.
A product, the product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage device that stores executable code that, when executed by a processor, causes the product to:
- generate, utilizing a shipment ordering system, a shipment plan, wherein the shipment plan comprises at least one transportation order for at least one object, wherein the shipment plan comprises a plurality of variables, each of the variables corresponding to a piece of information included within the shipment plan;
- receive, at the shipment ordering system, user input comprising a modification for modifying at least one variable of the plurality of variables of the shipment plan;
- automatically validate, using the shipment ordering system, the modification to the shipment plan against master data contained within a data storage location accessible to the shipment ordering system, wherein the master data comprises information related to the plurality of variables, wherein the automatically validating comprises validating at least a subset of the plurality of variables, wherein the at least a subset comprises the variables affected by the modification;
- and
- track, utilizing the shipment ordering system, transportation of the at least one object in view of the shipment plan.
