Determining Correct Event Types for Shipment Milestones
Introduction
In supply chain visibility, accurately mapping shipment milestones to the appropriate event types is crucial for real-time tracking and status updates. This guide helps users understand how to select the correct event types for various shipment milestones within the project44 platform to ensure transparency and reliability in shipment tracking.
Supported Event Types Overview
Review the project44 platform documentation for a comprehensive list of supported event types. Mapping your shipment milestones to these event types correctly ensures your shipment's status is updated accurately and promptly.
Mapping Import Milestones
For import-related milestones, use the following mappings to standardize event reporting:
| Import Milestone | Corresponding Event Type |
|---|---|
| Departure from Port of Discharge – full container | DEPARTED_TERMINAL |
| Arrival to Depot – empty container | ARRIVED |
Mapping Export Milestones
Use these mappings for export shipment milestones to ensure consistent event classification:
| Export Milestone | Corresponding Event Type |
|---|---|
| Departure from depot – empty container | DEPARTED |
| Arrival port of loading – full container | ARRIVED_AT_TERMINAL |
Standard Stop Milestones
For milestones that correspond to standard stops during transit, use the generic event types:
- DEPARTED – when the shipment has left a location
- ARRIVED – when the shipment has reached a location
Ensuring Accurate Mapping
Consult the detailed event type definitions and descriptions in the project44 platform documentation to confirm that each shipment milestone is correctly classified. Accurate mapping helps maintain transparency and enhances real-time supply chain visibility for all stakeholders.
