SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve? Operating Blue Yonder TMS through an AI assistant risks costly mistakes: tendering a load commits carrier capacity and freight spend, approving freight settlement pays money out, and auto-tenders or scheduled optimizer runs can fire commitments with no human in the loop. This Skill gives the model the operator judgment to classify every TMS action as read, reversible write, committing write, or destructive, and to pause consequential ones for human approval. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Operation gating matrix: Classifies Blue Yonder TMS operation families (consolidation, rating, tendering, booking, freight audit and payment) into read / write / destructive tiers with gate rules per tier. - Edge-state and recovery playbooks: Covers multi-leg partial acceptance, spot tender auto-award, self-invoice/auto-pay re-rates, closed finance periods, and non-idempotent commit retries, with recovery patterns for each. - Use Case: A user asks the assistant to tender a load to a carrier. The Skill requires re-reading tender status and carrier eligibility, confirming business unit, lane, mode, and buy cost, and routing the EDI 204 tender through a human approval gate before it fires. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to rate and tender a Blue Yonder load to a carrier and it will classify each step, show the cost, and pause for approval before committing.

Frequently Asked Questions about blueyonder-tms

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely tender a load in Blue Yonder TMS?

Rate the load first and show the carrier (SCAC), lane, mode, and total buy cost, then tender through an approval gate. Re-read tender status and carrier eligibility at the moment of commit, since both drift between planning and execution.

What is the difference between routing-guide and spot tendering in Blue Yonder?

A routing-guide (sequential) tender offers the load down the contracted carrier waterfall one at a time, rolling to the next on decline or timeout. A spot tender is an off-contract auction awarded automatically on a timer, usually at higher off-allocation cost.

Does consolidating or optimizing loads in Blue Yonder commit freight spend?

No. Consolidation and the optimizer build loads and propose carriers but commit nothing. The commit point is the tender (EDI 204) and the carrier's acceptance (EDI 990), which bind capacity and cost.

Why is approving freight settlement in Blue Yonder TMS destructive?

Approving settlement releases payment to AP and the carrier, which is money out and a ledger event. Approving an unaudited or over-tolerance invoice pays money that was not earned, and self-invoice/auto-pay can pay a wrong rated amount automatically.

When should I not use this Blue Yonder TMS skill?

Use a different skill when the TMS is Oracle OTM, SAP TM, or Manhattan Active Transportation, or when the work is Blue Yonder WMS warehouse execution, Blue Yonder planning, or pure in-transit visibility via project44 or FourKites.
