In CargoSoft, orders are entirely processed within one file.
→ Preallocation in the basic data determine the view of the order in the different modules.
This also applies to the preallocation of the field for the port link. This preallocation can be made globally in the General Company Parameter in COMPANY or individually in the Optionen (ideally for the majority of the orders that are to be processed). However, this preallocation can be changed within the order since the processing of shipments may be carried out over the entire Hamburg-Antwerp range and the linked external port systems can all be used in CargoSoft.
