Enter Single Pro Bill Number (PROBILM)

Can be accessed by:

1.       Menu 56163

 

Transportation department uses this option to store the available Pro Bill numbers for each Motor Freight carrier so they will be available for Scan on Board on a Motor Freight order. This must be completed BEFORE the Scan on Board process.

 

From the main screen, enter the SCAC code for the Motor Freight Carrier:  AVRT, SAIA, SEFL, ODFL, etc., (or use the F4 lookup) and the Pro Bill number available from the carrier.  Scanning the Pro Bill number is our preferred method to eliminate human error. If you schedule and receive your Pro Bill number via Motor Carrier website, you can manually enter the Pro Bill number here also.  NOTE: If entering the numbers manually, you will have to hit “+” (field+) in each field to accept the numbers properly.

 

This step adds the Pro Bill number to the WMS system, so it will be available when the warehouse scans shipment on board. It does not link the Pro Bill number to a particular order at this time. If the SCAC code and Pro Bill number are not entered properly, the freight invoices we receive via EDI will not match with the order/shipment/branch information.

 

 

Enter Range of Pro Bill Numbers for a single SCAC (PROBILM)

Can be accessed by:

1.       Menu 56163, F8

 

Transportation department uses this option to store a Book of Pro Bill numbers for each Motor Freight carrier, so they will be available on a Motor Freight order. This must be completed BEFORE the Scan on Board process.

 

If your Motor Freight carrier has sent a Book of Pro Bill numbers that are in a consecutive order (ex. 100, 101, 102, 103, etc.), you can press F8 to submit a RANGE of pro bill numbers. This will speed up your data entry by not entering each Pro Bill number separately. If the Pro Bill numbers are not in consecutive order, you must enter them individually using the Single Pro Bill option.

 

After pressing F8, enter the SCAC code (or use the F4 lookup) to find the right Motor Freight carrier. Then, you can enter (or scan) the beginning number of the Pro Bill book and the ending number of the Pro Bill book (example: 100 to 110). Scanning the Pro Bill number is our preferred method to eliminate human error. NOTE: If entering the numbers manually, you will have to hit “+” (field+) in each field to accept the numbers properly.

 

This step adds the Pro Bill numbers to the system, so they will be available when the warehouse scans shipment on board. It does not link the Pro Bill number to a particular order at this time. If the SCAC code and Pro Bill number are not entered properly on the order, the freight invoices we receive via EDI will not match with the order/shipment/branch information.
