TABS Defaults

Field

Description

Credit Readjustments

Adjusts the consignee credit balance with the difference between the credit decrement amount and the actual number of gallons received on the transaction.

This option applies only to credit records where the Units field of the Credit Setup page has been set to gallons.

 This option doesn’t display if Enhanced Credit Module is in use.

Schedule Credit Refresh

Updates credit records with the refresh amount at the current scheduled refresh date and time.

If clear, the system applies the refresh amount when the first customer authorization request is received on or after the current scheduled refresh date and time.

 This option doesn’t display if Enhanced Credit Module is in use.

Schedule Product Refresh

Updates product allocations with the refresh amount at the current scheduled refresh date and time.

This overrides the current refresh method, which applies the refresh amount, when the first credit authorization request is received on or after the current scheduled refresh date and time.

Receive BOLs with unknown Consignees

Receives unauthorized BOL transactions containing a consignee not setup in DTN TABS. 

Receive Delayed BOLs

Accepts authorized BOLs for reconciliation after the system default parameter setting of 60 minutes.  This allows for instances where the terminal may be unable to send records due to communication issues either at the facility or during times of DTN TABS system maintenance.

The maximum time an authorization number is open for reconciliation is 5760 minutes.  This setting has no impact on unauthorized BOL records as these records can be received at any time with no cut-off for delivery.

Carrier Authorization Check

Performs a look up of carrier validations.

If the carrier Standard Carrier Alpha Code (SCAC code) is not assigned to the consignee, the driver isn’t authorized to load.

Receive BOL in Terminal Time Zone

Allows for the receipt of the BOL in the terminal time zone as defined in the Terminal Setup page.  If this default is not selected, the system provides all BOL records in Eastern Standard Time with adjustment for Daylight Savings/Summer Time.

Receive BOLs with ShipTo Numbers

Downloads BOLs that contain the ShipTo ID instead of a consignee number.  ShipTo ID and ShipTo Name also display on the BOL Viewer and Unreconciled BOL Viewer reports.  The ShipTos are added to the SoldTo in the Customer Setup page.

If there is no ShipTo ID provided, the system supplies the consignee number and name.

Enable Duplicate Unauthorized BOL Check

Enables the system to perform a duplicate check on unauthorized BOLs.

Restrict No Load BOL

Prevents no-load BOLs from downloading in the BOL process, if selected.

If a terminal sends an authorization and the customer does not load, then the terminal should send a no load BOL which contains a product code of ZZZ. The ZZZ product code allows the process to reconcile the authorization number and credit back any credit holds in the allocations.

Automatically create allocation as Open to Buy

Creates, automatically, an Open to Buy allocation at the terminal/consignee level when the consignee is assigned to the terminal.

Auto Assign Terminal Products

Assigns, automatically, products not previously assigned to the terminal based on products transmitted on the previous day’s BOL transactions.

Enforce Deny Reason in Allocations

Requires a reason in the Comments field of the Allocation Setup page when the allocation is set to Deny.

Filter Products Authorized by Terminal Assigned Products

Filters products authorized in the Product Authorization Response by products assigned to the terminal.

Enforce Comment Rules in Credit Setup

Requires an explanation in the Comments field of the Credit Setup page when the user does any of the following:

• Sets the Refresh Amount to zero (0)

• Clears Active which disables the credit.

Enforce Expiration date In GPO Setup

Requires an expiration date when creating a GPO on the Global Product Override Setup page, Allocation Setup page, Allocation Viewer or the Load Assistance Dashboard.

Load Time Used to Adjust Allocations:

Specifies using either the Start of Load Date/Time or the End of Load Date/Time when recalculating the Remaining Amount on a product allocation.

 If you use the End of Load Date/Time, it is possible that a Start of Load could fall in a different refresh period than the End of Load. If that happens, the load would be authorized from the Remaining Amount of the first Refresh Period, but the allocation's Remaining Amount would be decreased for the second Refresh Period.

For example, you have a Daily Refresh period. A driver starts loading product off that allocation at 11:50 PM Monday. Loading is completed at 12:15 AM Tuesday. The authorization for the Start of Load would have come from the Daily Remaining Amount that was available on Monday, but the Daily Remaining Amount for Tuesday is the one that would be decreased by the amount of product loaded.

Default BOL Delivery Format

Enables the selection of the BOL format as a default for all BOLs received through FTP from DTN TABS.

Default Lifting Qualifier

Specify the default value (Gross or Net) that will be used for new forecasts and new product allocations. The default Lifting Qualifier of a product allocation can be overridden on the allocation setup page and via ADMLOD.

Pre-Payment Expiration Time

Contains the expiration time for credit pre-payment amounts.

Pre-Payment Ignore Weekends

Determines that the expiration date/time for credit pre-payment is not allowed on the weekends, if selected.

Max Pre-Payment Days

Contains the number of calendar days the expiration date/time for credit pre-payment cannot be set past. This number of calendar days is from the effective day of the pre-payment.

Load Time to Use on BOLs:

Specifies whether DTN TABS should use the Start of Load or the End of Load time for those BOL delivery format types that only support a single load date and time.

This option displays only if PDXR v1 or PDXR v1 Ext are selected for the default BOL Delivery Format.

Select time zone

Identifies the seller default time zone.
