DBA Set-up Database view Set-up EDI Message Types and Maps button to get the built-in maps for the CUSCAR EDI message.In N4, you can use EDI messages to create and maintain cargo data, including Bill of Lading (BL), BL Item, and Cargo Lots, using Bills of Lading, Manifests, and other electronic documents.
N4 supports the EDIFACT standard CUSCAR message, release D, and version 95B. It supports the original message function as per the CUSCAR D 95B message standard.
A CUSCAR EDI message enables you to transfer data from a carrier to a Customs administration to meet Customs cargo reporting requirements. CUSCAR EDI contains all the Equipment Details (EQD segment) followed by the Consignment Details (CNI segment). This message does not contain any information about the location of the equipment on the vessel. It assumes that the location information is available through BAPLIE.
In the CUSCAR message, all the Equipment details come before any Consignment details. The CNI segment contains the actual BL number. The GID segment contains information about the BL Item and the Item Number. A CNI segment can have multiple GID segments. An SGP segment with the GID segment specifies the placement of the goods with respect to the container.
You can configure both inbound and outbound messages so that you can record and retrieve cargo data from N4.
In addition, N4 provides generic EDI message maps to support cargo business practices for bulk, break-bulk, and other services. You can use these message maps as starting points and modify them to meet your specific requirements.
You must use the Administration DBA Set-up Database view Set-up EDI Message Types and Maps button to get the built-in maps for the CUSCAR EDI message.
