  • Shipment


The user can view the shipments added to the container through the Shipments section.

  • Is Customer Limited: when this is enabled, it provides the option to restrict the container to either a single customer or multiple customers. This requires shipments to undergo a validation process to ensure they are associated with one of the linked customers. If not enabled, no validation will be conducted when adding shipments to the containers.

 

  • Shipment AWB Numbers: this input field permits the user to input all the AWB numbers to be included in the container, with built-in validation to check that the shipment has not already been added to another container.
