If this checkbox is activated, the user needs to select an entry from the basic data when making an entry into this field.

This requires knowledge about the CargoSoft database model. We would be pleased to assist you and advise you of the syntax of this field. Please feel free to contact us!

Examples for links:

  • codes_t.mc;fk_spra_sch=D;art=AAR (selection of address types (D/K/G/P))

  • land_tab.land_sch:land;mandant=000 (access to the country basic data)

  • eakopf_t.hawbcode;bereich=E (search and acceptance of the HAWB no.)

Customer-specific basic data

CargoSoft provides a standardized solution for the use of specific basic data in the order processing: Customer codes in ADMIN.

Data, texts, descriptions, values, etc. can now be recorded, separated by different groups via a basic data program.

Another basic data program allows these data to be linked with additional fields.
These fields can be equipped with individual properties, e.g. search masks, required entries or basic data access.

In the order processing, the additional customer tab provides access to these basic data.
This simplifies the data entry and enables statistical data evaluations.

This new function ensures a higher degree of customization without having to change the standard in CargoSoft.
