Containers and Shipments Grids

These grids display the contents of your local delivery. There is a search box just above the grids that you can use to find items quickly.

• The Containers grid displays a list of all containers in this local delivery. You may change the sort order of the grid by clicking on a header. If you wish to view or print a container report, click on the printer icon.
• The Shipments grid displays a list of all shipments within the selected container. You may change the sort order of the grid by clicking on a header. If you wish to add lineitems, you may click on the lineitems icon.

The buttons towards the bottom perform the following functions:

• Enter Container Details – This allows you to enter more detailed information about your container, such as the container TCN, address codes, dimensions and weight, and shipment type. This is useful if you have more specific information to record about your container.
• Add Container - This allows you to enter another container from the same local delivery. Sometimes, local deliveries have more than one container.
• Add Multi-Piece - This allows you to add a multiple piece shipment. This happens for various reasons, such as when large items are ordered in quantities, like truck tires. They often arrive with the same TCN number, but as piece 1 of 4, 2 of 4, etc.
• MSL - Allows you to view and print an MSL for this box.
• Read CMATS - Allows you to receive Consolidated Manifesting and Transportation System data, or your incoming STRATIS data for this shipment. You must first configure this in the Data Transfer Settings section of your System Setup.
• Save - Saves your changes.
