Submitting Orders
Each Terminal, Position Holder, Supplier, Carrier, Customer, Destination, Product and Order Type has a unique identifier called a reference used to identify the subject in an order. References must be entered exactly as they appear in the system or the system will not accept the order submission. The information included in the template will appear on the order's BOL, so it is important to populate the template sufficiently.
Required Fields
TerminalRef, OrderTypeRef, PositionHolderRef, SupplierRef, CarrierRef, CustomerRef, DestinationRef, StartDate, EndDate, TrailerNumber, ProductRef, ProductAmount
Optional Fields
If you wish for a Bill of Lading to include additional information beyond the required fields then you may populate the following optional fields.
PO, TruckNum, TruckLicensePlate, TrailerLicensePlate
Order Types
In the OrderTypeRef field a user will specify a trailers order type. The most common order types are a metered shipments and weigh-scale shipments. However, a user can schedule unloads as well.
For metered shipment, use 1
For weigh-scale shipments, use 9
Start and End Dates
Lynx does not require a user to input a specific time for orders, but allows for users to do so if they would like. Once an order is approved by the position holder, the order will become valid on the start date and will expire on the end date. For simplicity, we recommend that for the start date, you choose the day you would like for the order to be fulfilled and assign an end date that is 24 hours after the start date.
Product Amount
The Product amount field is a number only field and uses Gallons as a unit of measurement.
