Activate the checkbox to create a text line (up to 100 characters).

Text lines only consist of one long field.

Enter up to 3 digits in the field Seal no.

This field is also located on the Container button, which displays the recorded seal numbers of the detail area.

Vice versa, the numbers from the container button are displayed in the goods description if the seal numbers have been entered on the Container button.

The Seal no. field is only active for container packaging codes.

These fields are non-editable for breakbulk packaging codes.

A seal number imported through a provider is inserted into the goods description of the file. Seal numbers that were already entered are not overwritten.

Enter the container number or a package code.

A plausibility check  is performed for container numbers
The combination of a container number and container packaging code will automatically calculate the check digit (last digit of the container number).
In case of an incorrect digit CargoSoft will issue a message with the correct number:

You can either have the program correct the check digit or insert the shippers-own checkmark.

Display container format
ISO containers are formatted automatically if you have recorded a template for container numbers, e.g.: XXXX NNN NNN-N.
Please see GENERAL COMPANY PARAMETER → Order data tab → field Container format.

Container number from the service order
If a provider response contains a container number, this number is automatically replaced in the goods description of the file, provided that this has been configured in the interface.
