Place of Loading/Transport - Default details are automatically inserted from the Manifest general segment. If the goods were loaded at a place other than this, enter the correct code. The format is country code (2 characters) and place code (3 characters) or press <F8> for a list of codes. Exporter/Shipper - Insert name of the exporter or shipper, their address and country. Consignee - Insert code or press <F8>  for  a  list  of  codes.  Name  and  address  details  will  appear automatically. If a code is not mandatory and the consignee is not listed with a code, move on to the next field and enter consignee’s name and the address. Notify – Same as for Consignee. Frequently the ‘notify’ field requires a name, address or contact number of a person other than the consignee. Total  Number  of  Containers  –  If  the  Manifest  general  segment  totals  field  gives  a  number  of containers   for   the   manifest,   this   field   will   be   active.   If   the   goods   on   this   bill   of   lading   are containerised traffic, then enter the total number of containers for this bill. A new window (‘Container management’ ) is opened to enter container details. After keying the container details into the fields, select ‘Local Menu’, ‘Validate’ to confirm and add to the ‘List of Containers’ . Repeat for additional containers. (In   case   of   input   error,   containers   can   be   directly   deleted   from   the   list   of Containers by the  ‘DEL’ key.) After all containers for the bill of lading are added to the list, close the Container management  window  with  the  mouse  or  using  selecting  the  <Alt>  <W>  keys and ‘Close ’.

Insert any identifying shipping marks and numbers in the other fields. Quantity: Manifested - Enter the number of packages and the Gross mass and also the Volume in cubic metres (CBM), if relevant. Accuracy is important as these figures are cross-checked against the ‘Totals’  in the Manifest general segment. Note that the   Quantity  Remaining  is  controlled  by  the  system  and  this  field cannot  be  directly  accessed.    When  capturing  bill  of  lading  details  these  fields are filled with the same numbers as for the ‘Manifested’ quantities. Description - Insert a brief description from the transport document (e.g. ‘machinery’). Location - Insert the location (Transit shed) code or press <F8> for a list of codes. It is normal that the precise location of the goods is not known at the time the Manifest is prepared and presented to Customs. In this case the field can be left empty, (if the field is configured as ‘optional’), or an interim code can be used, such as ‘Unallocated’. The Functional menu option ‘Bill of Lading’, ‘Location’ gives the opportunity to update the location details after discharge of the cargo.
