B2B file creation

To create a B2B, you can start with a HAWB or MAWB.

When entering a file, you can freely choose whether to start with a House AWB or with a Master AWB:

After you have entered all details relevant for the order, you can convert the AWB.

To do this, select the context menu on the AWB Main-A tab and there the entry MAWB ↔ HAWB.

  • If you had already entered a HAWB, you will get a MAWB.

  • If you had already entered a MAWB, you will get a HAWB.

  • The details you have entered in your first AWB are copied into the new AWB.

Your current AWB type is indicated in the AWB field in the head line of the AWB Main tab and in the title bar:

Always fill the fields Shipper and Consignee with the actual shipper and consignee (i.e. your customers).

The address of the AWB agent will be printed in the Shipper field and address A4 (DES agent) from the Addresses tab in the Consignee field of the MAWB.

To switch between the HAWB and MAWB, select the context menu entry HAWB ↔ MAWB.
So they get into the opposite AWB type again and again.

ATTENTION: Please do not overwrite the address fields Shipper and Consignee when switching from HAWB to MAWB.

Even if you have started with a MAWB and switch to the HAWB, enter your actual customers as they would appear in the HAWB.

In the MAWB, the shipper is pre-assigned with the AWB agent (AWB Main tab) and the consignee with address field A4 – DES AGENT. 

If the DES agent is not stored, it must be entered manually.

Change the shipper in the MAWB

On the AWB Control tab you can activate the function Shipper in AWB.

With this function, the shipper as recorded in address A1 (=Shipper) is printed in the MAWB.

Changing the shipper in the MAWB is also possible. 

You may need to check the actual shipper on the Addresses tab.

The lower two address fields Shipper and Consignee show the shipper and consignee entered for the order.
These entries correspond to the header data of the file and may have an impact on statistics, forms and invoicing.

Pre-assign goods description and Other Charges tab

After the first change, data from the HAWB are copied into the MAWB - or vice versa from the MAWB into the HAWB, depending on which AWB was entered first.

After you have added an MAWB, the Consol text will appear in the contents of the goods description in the MAWB.
→ Whether this is the Consol text or content can be selected in the Air Parameter. 

After the first change, click on the Description of goods tab of the AWB you have added and enter the rate(s).
If the automatic rate determination is active, the rates are pre-assigned once you open the tab.

  • Open the Other charges tab in the HAWB and MAWB.

  • The other chrges are pre-assigned separately depending on the type.

MAWB

 → The CASS accrual is created in the MAWB. Only the other charges of the airline should be entered.

HAWB

 → Costs passed on to the customer are entered in the HAWB.

B2B - Synchronize description of goods

Up to now, in case of subsequent changes in the description of goods of a B2B, the changes in HAWB and MAWB always had to be made separately.
Now there is a possibility to synchronize the description of goods.

In the description of goods to which the data is to be transferred, the context menu function Synchronize dimensions and package details from MAWB is executed in HAWB or Synchronize dimensions and package details from MAWB in MAWB.

Then the following fields are automatically pulled from the other AWB and existing entries are overwritten:

  • Weight

  • k/l

  • CWeight

  • Dimensions in the lower section

When you then switch to the Additional Charges tab, the rates are recalculated and the C and Rate and Total fields in the Goods and dimensions tab are recalculated.

B2B – Pre-assign routing data

The routing details usually stay the same.

When switching from the HAWB to the MAWB for the first time, the fields WT/VAL and OTHER are changed to Prepaid - regardless of the delivery term entered in the HAWB.
These fields can be edited if you would like to send the MAWB as Collect.

The fields in the HAWB are not affected by the change.

Warning
The field Delivery term only exists once in the B2B and should always be filled with the delivery term of the HAWB (customer order).
