Transportation status update

Hi, everyone.

In the /Transportation management/ module there are entities /Transportation status masters/ and /Carrier transportation status/, also there is a /Transportation status/ form that displays all statuses, you can also call this form from the WMS module, Containers form. However, I was not able to find how to update those statuses. All I found is this:

Does anybody know how statuses should be updated? Is there a standard tool for this? Or all these entities are just a workpiece for a customization?

I know that for creating shipments at the carrier side we need customization, but this customization is to be used by standard entities: Rate method, Rate profiles, and so on, so when the shipment is created by these entities, the shipment ID will be populated to the container, for instance. But is there anything more for a status update?

I found similar to what is required in the Landed cost module, but it focused on tracking Inbound (purchase and transfer orders)

Hi,

the transportation statuses for loads, shipments, and containers can typically be updated through data integration rather than manually through the user interface. This means that you would need to leverage data integration tools or integrations with external systems to update these statuses.
For example, you can use the Transportation management module's APIs or data entities to update the transportation statuses programmatically. By integrating with third-party transportation systems or building custom integrations, you can fetch real-time updates on transportation statuses and push them into Dynamics 365 F&O.
The entities you mentioned, such as Transportation status masters and Carrier transportation status, serve as reference data or configuration options for managing the transportation statuses but are not directly used for updating the statuses.
Regarding customization, you might need to tailor the solution to fit your specific business requirements. This could involve creating custom workflows, data entities, or integrations with external systems to update the transportation statuses based on your specific needs.
