Input Method
Containers or loads can be added to a shipment in two ways:
Form Method
The form option requires the relevant fields to be entered individually. Specify the number of containers/loads to be added (a single work order is created for each container/load). The following table is displayed
Enter the container number in Container Nr. field, enter the Manifest number if there is no container involved, enter the Weight, enter the Volume (always measures in cubic meters (m³) and must always be less than 1,000 m³) and the Seal Number and select the Load Type and if it's Shipper Owned then check box it.
By Clicking on the icon you can copy the same value to all other containers.
By clicking on '?' you will get a list of the container/load types.
The Form input method allows users to create up to 100 work orders at a time. In order to create more work orders, this process can be repeated by using the same transport document number.
Excel/CSV Method
The CSV option requires all relevant fields to be entered collectively as a comma-separated text
The following text box is displayed:
Enter comma-separated fields in the order- Container Number, Manifest, Weight, Volume, Seal Number, Load Type, Shipper Owned (Y/N). Leave the Manifest blank if it is a container and vice-versa. Using this input format, a maximum of 100 work orders can be created in one go.
