How does a "customer PO" differ from a "TQL PO"?

The distinction between a "customer PO" and a "TQL PO" lies primarily in their respective systems and how they reference loads. A customer PO typically serves as a reference within the customer's system and is used to identify and manage loads from the customer's perspective. It helps streamline processes related to order fulfillment, billing, and tracking within the customer’s infrastructure.

In contrast, a TQL PO functions within the TQL system and is utilized for tracking and managing loads from TQL’s operational viewpoint. This internal system ensures that the logistics and operations teams have visibility into the orders they are managing and facilitates better coordination of services.

This relationship shows how each type of PO operates within its respective system, with the customer PO acting as the primary reference for the customer and the TQL PO serving as the corresponding reference for TQL’s operations. Understanding this difference highlights the interconnected yet distinct roles that each document plays in the logistics and transportation process.
