Copy Bill of Lading form

Prerequisites

• You must have the Bills of Lading - Copy privilege to access the Copy Bill of Lading action.

In N4, you can copy the details of an existing bill of lading (BL) to create a new BL. When you copy a bill of lading, N4 copies the header information, such as the Category, Line Operator, Vessel Visit, POD, and POL of the selected BL. It also copies the BL Items from the selected BL to the new BL; however, it only creates the default cargo lots for the copied BL Items. N4 does not copy any other cargo lots associated with the selected BL.

As opposed to the Split BL (on page 1) action, the Copy Bill of Lading action creates a new BL with no association with the original BL.

To copy a bill of lading:

1. In the Bills of Lading view, select the bill of lading you want to copy.

2. Select Actions Copy Bill of Lading.

3. In the Copy Bill of Lading form:

1. The BL Number field displays the ID of the selected bill of lading.

2. In the New BL Number field enter the ID of the new bill of lading that you want to create.

3. Click Save.
