Cargo Creation
There are three methods ways to create a cargo record that will be shown on Track and Trace. :
Manual entry.
Extracted Data extraction from Excel documents.
Extracted Data extraction from PDF documents.
1. Manual Entry
This is done at the Create Cargo page. The data entry screen for cargo items is driven by generic templates created by Portconnect from provided examplestemplates based on exchange type.
Discharge Templates:
Discharge Container Generic: - Cargo Type is defaulted to ‘Container’ for this template.
Discharge BBK Steel: - Cargo type is defaulted to ‘BBK’ for breakbulk in this template.
Discharge Mixed Cargo Generic:
Load Templates:
Load Container Generic: - Cargo Type is defaulted to ‘Container’ for this template.
Load BBK Generic: - Cargo type is defaulted to ‘BBK’ for breakbulk in this template.
2. Excel Documents
Uploading excel documents can be done on the Documents page. It is important to note, Excel documents that are uploaded must contain a format from which we can process. This is to ensure a more accurate data extraction across the excel sheets and headers. When uploading a file, if the user does not choose a processing template, then the cargo will not automatically be created from the file - selecting a valid template is required for generating cargo records.
The formats we allow so far includefollowing file formats are currently supported:
Sofrana discharge and load lists.
