You can use the following form fields to design the gate forms for data entry for Deliver Break-Bulk (DB) and Receive Break-Bulk (RB) gate transaction types at various gate stages.
Notes
If you want to save the value entered for a field at a gate stage against the gate transaction and the unit, you must include the field in the gate forms for all subsequent gate stages. If you do not want a user to change the value for the field at a subsequent gate stage, you can include the field as hidden or view-only.
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Bill of Lading Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the Cargo BL Item (on page 1) field is also included in the form, N4 displays the BL items associated with the selected BL. If there is only one BL Item defined for the selected BL, N4 automatically fills in the Cargo BL Item field.
Similarly, if the Cargo Delivery Order (on page 1) field is included in the gate form, N4 restricts the BL numbers available for the user to select.
When you receive a break-bulk unit against a BL, N4 copies the O/B Carrier Visit and the POD of the BL to the unit and the gate transaction.
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Bill of Lading Item Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the selected bill of lading (on page 1) has only one BL Item, N4 automatically displays the BL Item in this field. N4 lists BL items even after the associated cargo lots have departed.
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Delivery Order Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the Cargo Delivery Order Item (on page 1) field is also included in the gate form, N4 displays the delivery order items associated with the selected delivery order. If only one item is associated with the delivery order, N4 automatically fills in the Cargo Delivery Order Item field.
See also, Cargo Bill Of Lading (on page 1).
Displays a lookup field for the user to select the Delivery Order Item Number for the break-bulk gate transaction type. If the selected Delivery Order (on page 1) has only one order item, N4 automatically displays the order item in this field.
Displays a text box that displays the cargo lot quantity that is moved (loaded or unloaded) as part of the current gate transaction.
Displays a text box to enable the user to enter the cargo lot quantity. This is the Quantity requested by the trucker that he intends to pick up.
For identified cargo lots, N4 assumes the cargo lot quantity equals 1.
If you configure the Appointment form to have the following quantity-related fields,
Cargo Item Quantity (Bl Item quantity will be auto populated here)
Cargo Appointment Qty (user needs to enter the value here)
the value of the Cargo Appointment Qty entered in the Appointment form is populated in the Gate form's Cargo Item Quantity field.
Note: The value of the Cargo Item Quantity field in the Appointment form can be different from the value of the Cargo Item Quantity field in the Gate form.
Displays a check box to select if a cargo lot is to be discharged or loaded to a vessel directly to or from an external truck.
If you select this check box either in the Bill of Lading form or Bill of Lading Item form, the check box is automatically selected. You can clear the check box, if required.
