Why is there no carrier booking in Air Import?
On an import the origin agent books the airline. You start from your customer's booking and the job for the MAWB.
How is the delivery order number made?
From the job number plus a letter per HAWB (A, B, C ...), created when the house is saved. Issue D/O records who issued it and when.
Can we send arrival notices to many consignees at once?
Yes. Tick the houses in Shipment Handling and print or e-mail the arrival notices, one merged file or one per house.
