Sub: Computerisation of Goods Terminais under FOIS -
Terminal Management System (TMS).

In continuation to the Master Policy Circular No.2003/C&IS/FOIS/Progress
dated 21/01/2004/10.02.2004 containing guidelines for indenting, supply,
accountal and printing of computerized RRs, further instructions with regard
to computerization of the booking and delivery of freight ‘traffic under the
Terminal Management System (TMS) are being given in this Master Circular
No. 2. These instructions conform to the general procedure of goods shed
working and also take into account the commercial practices being followed
at different locations.

Switching over from the existing manual system to the computerized system
of the booking and delivery of goods traffic will take some time. Therefore, it
has been decided to implement the TMS in a phased manner. The
methodology for the changeover from the manual system to the computerised
system of goods shed working is envisaged in the Transitional and Fully
Computerised phases of the TMS, as explained below:-

1.6 TRANSITIONAL PHASE OF TMS

1.1 During the transitional phase of the Terminal Management System,
while some locations will have computerised working the others will
have manual working. Further, the computerised locations will have
two kinds of working viz, (i) transactions between the two computerised
terminals and (ii) transactions between a computerized terminal & a
non- computerized terminal. ; ‘

During this phase some of the data will have to be fed in the System
manually at the time of commencement of the TMS at
Goods Terminal. On the basis of the data fed at various stages, the
System will generate & print Railway Receipts on the “RR stationery
System will generate and print all the returns arid the balance sheet of
the station. Sectional Travelling Inspector of Accounts (TIAs) and
Commercial Inspectors shall jointly verify all the data fed/updated time
to time in the System. The referential data fed/updated in the system
shall be maintained for verification by internal/statutory audit

Terminal Management System shall initially run in parallel with the

manual system. During this period, the data generated by the System
viz., chargeable weight, freight class, freight rate & total freight in
respect of outward RRs, calculation and accrual of wharfage and
demurrage charges, collection and remittance of all railway dues etce.,
shall be cross-checked manually. In case of any failure in the
computerized system, booking/delivery shall be done as per the
manual system. Once the system stabilises, and uscrs acceptance to
the system is accorded by FA&CAO and CCM, the manual issue of RRs,
returns and Balance sheet shali be replaced with the system generated
(1106 .

Traffic Accounts Office shall initially conduct hundred percent checks

on system generated RRs, returns and balance sheets. Once the results
are found upto the level of satisfaction, the procedure for checks in the

Traffic Accounts Office will be modified.

The results of transitional phase may be monitored closely by both
Commercial and Accounts Officers concerned and feedback on
deficiencies noticed and improvements required may be documented
properly and advised to Board immediately along-with suggestions il
any, in the matter.

The Transitional Phase of TMS is targeted for implementation in all the

Zonal Railways by 30 June 2005.
