Send filing

The AFR Filing is sent from the HB/L.

Select the local menu item Send filing to start the transmission to Dakosy and forwarding to Japanese customs.

A new entry is transmitted with code 9.

During transmission, the fields are blocked for entry.

After a response of Japanese customs, you can modify the data and resend the filing.

Modifications are transmitted with code 5

Send closing

As soon as a first response from Japanese customs has arrived, you can send the closing with the local menu command Close filing.

The closing is transmitted with code 9.
If the closing is sent from an HB/L, it will apply to all HB/Ls with the same OB/L number.

Since the OB/L is completed with the closing, the system checks whether the closing for this OB/L number has already been sent from another file.

If yes, the system stops the sending process and issues the following message:
The closing has already been sent from another file with the same OB/L number. Sending not possible.

Send filing after vessel departure (ATD)

If the filing is sent for the first time after the vessel departure or if changes arise after departure, the filing must be transmitted with a separate message (CHR).
Select the local menu item Send filing after ATD.

A new entry after vessel departure is transmitted with code 2.

Modifications after vessel departure are transmitted with code 5.

Cancel filing

If you would like to cancel a request (e.g. to select a different vessel), select the local menu item Cancel filing after receipt of the first response from Japanese customs.

Here you need to enter a reason for the cancelation.
The field cancel reason is displayed in the header data after a positive response from Japanese customs (eaafrko_t.jp_ok=J).
Update the header data by pressing F5.

The code entries for the field cancel reason are recorded in ADMIN → CS ADMIN → CS CODES EXT with TYPE = AFR_CNCRSN .
