Tracking

Interview questions covered

• A freight booking's arrival milestone, captured through Event Management, is supposed to automatically trigger creation of a follow-on MM purchase order for goods receipt, but planners notice the PO is created inconsistently—sometimes immediately, sometimes hours later, and occasionally not at all. How would you investigate this?
• Multiple transportation units within a single freight order show inconsistent execution statuses after a Business Network for Logistics tracking outage, with some units reflecting 'in transit' and others still 'not started.' How would you troubleshoot and correct this?
• A freight order's track-and-trace data shows the shipment as delivered based on an Event Management milestone, and this is expected to release both the freight settlement document and the linked MM goods receipt, but only the settlement document is created while the goods receipt remains open. How would you troubleshoot this?
• A freight order representing a consolidated booking with multiple partial shipments is tracked via Event Management, and each partial arrival milestone is meant to trigger a proportional goods receipt in MM. Planners report that goods receipts are posting for the full booked quantity on the first arrival event instead of proportionally for each partial shipment. As the consultant, how would you diagnose and correct this?
