Rate and plan first, then show the buy total cost, itinerary, and service provider before tendering through an approval gate. Re-read tender status and carrier eligibility at execute time, since both drift between plan and commit.

Secure Resources is a shortcut that runs Approve for Execution and Tender Shipment in one step, so clicking it sends the tender immediately. It is a commit action, not a staging step, and should be gated like any tender.

Yes, an automation agent can auto-secure-resources, auto-tender, or auto-approve invoices on an event with no human involved. Treat any agent whose action tenders or approves as a committing actor and insert a hold or human-confirmation step before the commit.

Approving a matched freight invoice creates a voucher, which authorizes money out to AP to pay the carrier. Approving an unmatched or over-tolerance invoice pays money that was not earned, and the approval stays in the audit trail.

Un-tendering or canceling a tendered or accepted shipment retracts a promise already made to the carrier. It forfeits reserved capacity, can trigger cancellation, detention, or TONU charges, and a re-tender is a new commitment rather than a restore.

Use it when the connected TMS is Oracle OTM and the work touches order releases, shipments, tendering, or freight settlement. For SAP TM use the sap-tm skill, for Blue Yonder TMS use blueyonder-tms, and for pure visibility or tracking use project44 or fourkites.
