Bills of Lading

The Bills of Lading tab displays all bills of lading (B/Ls) included in the freight invoice. Column structure mirrors the general list of B/Ls.

Available Actions

  1. Add B/L — Opens a selection window for B/Ls eligible for inclusion.

    • Displays only B/Ls not currently assigned to other freight invoices.

    • Available when the invoice is in Draft status; replaced by for other statuses.

    • B/Ls added via do not affect invoice data (ports, cargo, and rates are not imported).

  2. Voyage Filtering

    • When a voyage is specified, only B/Ls from that voyage appear.

    • With no voyage selected, all eligible B/Ls are displayed.

  3. Automatic Data Inclusion

    • Upon selection, the system proposes including POL (Port of Loading), POD (Port of Discharge), and Cargo details.

    • For cargo with defined Rate Types, the Amount field auto-populates with package quantities.

Voyage Selection Handling

If a voyage (from Details tab) is selected after B/Ls are added, the system prompts to remove any B/Ls not matching the selected voyage.

Rate Type Validation

  • B/Ls containing cargo positions without defined Rate Types are highlighted in red.

  • Required action:

    1. Expand cargo positions using the “” icon.

    2. Assign Rate Types to each position.

Data Recalculation

Cargo package quantities are automatically recalculated when:

  • Rate Types are modified.

  • B/Ls are added or removed.
