- Ordered qty → Ongoing qty → RTS qty → On freight qty → Shipped qty: this shows the progression of the ordered quantity through the pipeline
- RTS date line: date given automatically and foreseen for the goods to be moved to the RTS zone, where they will be ready for consolidation into a freight
- RTS date review: it is a more accurate date given by the planning team when the first RTS date has been passed or cannot be honored because there are some delays due to unforeseen supply issues
- Packing: the packing list number
- ID pack: this is a shorter version of the packing list that makes it easier to read it at the physical reception
- Freight: the freight number
- ETA: estimated time of arrival. This is the confirmed date of delivery at port
- Transport: the transport mode as initially instructed by the mission: it can be Road, Head Office, Sea, Charter, Express, Air. The mean of transport cannot be modified once the order has been confirmed, invoiced and included in a packing list (when Ready to Ship). The reason is that stickers and documents have been prepared and changes to transport would mean that all documentation needs to be redone. Only in very particular and exceptional situations can MSF Supply agree to change the means of transport, and only for the whole shipment, not just for one item.
- Contact name: it is the Desk Operator and - for statuses from RTS on - it is the Freight Operator
