General: Shipment Tab Messages & Status changed to Info center
The former Messages & Status tab for a Shipment has been renamed Info center. Users can now
make entries manually in addition to the entries created automatically. This can be performed by
using the + button. After being saved, the entry is displayed as Manual entry in the field Type.

2.2.3
Sea freight Export - New Booking request - Carrier Booking (eBooking)
New to the GE application is the function Booking request (Carrier eBooking), which enables the
reservation of a container with a carrier. The booking request (Booking Request) is transmitted to
the appropriate carrier and includes the options Original, Update and Cancellation. The two latter
functions are only possible after a successful booking confirmation has been received from the
carrier. As with a B/L, the booking confirmation (Booking confirmation) can have different status
displays. These include Accepted, Conditionally Accepted, Declined and Pending. If the status is
Pending, the reasons will be displayed textually, and may indicate that an electronic response is
not yet possible. If the request results in a booking, a shipment can be created. A requirement for
using this new function is the individual registration with the carrier. Without this registration, the
function cannot be used.
Note: If you are interested in setting up this function, please contact our sales department at

Export Port Order: BHT Registration; multiple MRNs per Container
In order to make the BHT registration easier, the method of entry has now been updated to mimic
other data entry methods in the application, for example, the entry of MRN per container or the
different types of Customs Declarations. For AES registrations, multiple MRNs per container can
now be entered. Thus "artificial" goods for a container can be created. These are needed only for
the data entry and should not be sent! The multiple registration numbers (MRN) are then
displayed in the field of Customs Declarations.

General: Copy NCTS procedure; from Permission to Unload in Import or Export
It is now possible to copy NCTS operations into other procedures, for example, an NCTS Arrival
Notification (NCNA) into a procedure of the type NCTS Departure (NCD) or a Customs
declaration for free transport (IMDC or IPDC). The data from the NCD procedure can be copied
into each Customs declaration task by selecting Copy Customs declaration. Depending on the
procedure, available data groups can be copied, for example "Documents (position)". Data groups
that do not exist in the target process will not be copied. This changes when copying the data
from an NCTS Arrival Notification, which is entirely dependent on the status "Permission to
Unload". In order to copy this procedure, the window for editing the Unloading Commentary
must be accessed and then the related function Copy Customs declaration can be used.
