Matchcode

To create a new matchcode click File → New.

When you create a template the system checks whether the matchcode you have entered already exists.
If so, CargoSoft will issue a warning that a template with this matchcode already exists.

You can decide whether you would like to see the existing template or close the warning. 
In this case the matchcode field is cleared and you can enter a new matchcode.
