Use the local menu on the right side to edit the quantity.

 

Thus, the fields Quantity and Container type can be edited.

Add line:

 

Oversize

You can enter and transmit a checkmark Oversize with the corresponding dimensions per container.

These fields can be integrated into the container tab of the goods description in the order using the mask editor.

If the booking was created from an order, these values are automatically pre-assigned with values from the order.

The Checkbox Oversize is displayed in the booking by deault. Additional dimension fields appear once you activate the checkbox.

If the Oversize checkbox is active if dimensions have been entered in the booking, the interface will transmit these values as well.

If the checkbox is active but dimensions are missing, the sending process will terminate.
The error message is displayed in the EDI Log.
The system also generates an email to the user who sent the data.

 

Mode of transport

This field is transmitted per container line and must NOT be changed within a booking.

Merchant/Merchant is pre-assigned for new bookings.

The mode of transport is pre-assigned based on the field Service type.
→ The preallocation is updated once you enter or change the service type.

The mode of transport can be changed in the 1st container line on the Container tab without affecting the field Service type in the header data of the booking.
→ Changes in the 1st container line will affect all container lines.



  • Based on the Mode of transport the addresses (Ship from, Ship to) are pre-assigned.




 

 

Shipper's owned

Checkbox to mark this container as Shipper's owned.
When you create a booking from an existing file, this checkbox is copied into the booking if activated in the Description of goods tab → Container.

This pre-assignment of the Shippers' Owned indicator in the booking can be prevented by setting a global database holder:
This requires an entry in the database table global_sett_t: INSERT INTO global_sett_t (schluessel, wert) VALUES ('SEABOOKING_PREVENT_INIT_SHIPPERS_OWNED', 'J');

→ If you are interested, please get in touch with our Service Desk.

  • If this address has not been filled, the order address with classification PUP is pre-assigned instead.

  • If this address is not filled and this classification does not exist, the preallocation is made through classification SHP.

 3. For mode of transport Merchant/Carrier and Carrier/Carrier, the address Ship to is filled with thea ddress with classificatino DEL from the order.

  • If this address is not filled and if this classification does not exist, the preallocation is made through classification CNE.
