Seafreight back-to-back in an order

CargoSoft provides the option to create an Ocean and a House B/L in one seafreight file (back to back).

On the B/L tab of an order it is thus possible to switch between the two Bs/L via right mouse key and enter data for both B/L types separately.

The sub tabs within the B/L main tab such as Header data, Customs data, Instructions, Send B/L, etc. apply to the B/L type of the header data.

After activation of the back-to-back, CargoSoft distinguishes between the following B/L types that are not available without this activation: HBL, Direct, Consol, B2B and XXX.

How to create a B2B?

A B2B is created after the entry of an HB/L on the B/L tab in the header data.

Attention:  Please contact CargoSoft before activating the back to back (B2B) variant!

Reports, EDI interfaces (B/L transmission), forms and even already existing files might need to be adjusted!

After this adjustments, old files must be assigned with a B/L type as well.

Consol files can have B/L type CON; all other files e.g. HB/L or DIR. Please note that sending is not possible with type HB/L.

Old files may need to be converted subseqently by the user in order to send again.

If the B/L type is already in use in your branch, e.g. for Statistics, it must be examined in what way the types are implemented in order to see how the statistics may need to be adjusted.Â
