ADMIN → STATUS TYPES → STATUS EVENTS

In the status events there is the provider PORTBASECC for the Import sector - the provider PORTBASE applies to the export sector.

The provider PORTBASECC was created by CargoSoft.

Various status information goes beyond the usual feedback on the shipment status.

For example, information can be provided on when the vessel is expected, when the container is expected to be released and other 'expect' messages.

If an e-mail address has been stored for a status, the recipient is automatically sent a message when this status is received.

This function can be used to automatically update predefined data (e.g. eta) in the order when the status is received.

The vessel's r.o.e. can be entered in a file using a filling rule.
