Delay Days

A delay day transfer is where the transfer of hire is delayed.  The delay can be from the date of despatch or the date of receipt.  E.g. a 30 day delay day transfer from the date of receipt means that the sender continues to pay hire on the pallets for 30 days after they have been delivered to the receiver.

These delays can be set up in PalletWatch by going to Data/Trading Partner Terms.  CHEP have the ability to apply delay day terms automatically - this arrangement is called an EDO (Equipment Days Offset).  Some companies apply delay day terms to all of their trading partners, e.g. major retailers.  These will be displayed in PalletWatch in Data/Trading Partner Terms as PalletWatch System Root.

If you want to view the delay days applied in PalletWatch you can view them in Data/Trading Partner Terms or you can run the Delay Days Report.  

When running the report if you tick the Summary checkbox then the report will list all trading partners with delay days.  If you untick the Summary checkbox and select an individual trading partner then you will be able to see all transactions and the delay days applied to them.
