Cargo Overview
Prerequisites
• General Cargo, RDT Cargo Tracking (for accessing the Cargo Inventory program in N4 Mobile), and Bills of Lading
(for creating bill of lading and bill of lading items) licenses.
The General Cargo Option is useful for terminals that handle bulk cargo. This option provides a simple, fast, and
efficient way to manage non-containerized cargo, such as break-bulk, rolling cargo, and bulk cargo.

You can use N4 for cargo setup and configuration and either N4 or N4 Mobile for performing cargo operations.

Cargo Lot Management enables you to track cargo in three basic ways:

• Bulk Cargo
▪ Cargo is tracked by weight or volume, such as coal, wheat, and crude oil.
• Quantified Cargo
▪ Cargo is tracked by quantity. This is sometimes referred to as Pseudo Bulk Cargo. In this case, each piece of
cargo does not have a unique identifier either because the identifier is unknown or because the pieces are too
numerous and interchangeable; therefore, this type of cargo is tracked only by quantity.
• Identified Cargo
▪ Each piece of cargo is tracked by a known and unique identifier, such as the VIN number of a car.
N4 supports the following gate transaction types for break-bulk cargo:

• Deliver Break-Bulk (DB)

• Receive Break-Bulk (RB)
Cargo Operations enables you to perform the following major cargo operations for break-bulk, using either N4 or N4
Mobile. In N4, the options listed in the table below are available in the Actions menu in the Cargo Lots view (on page
96) and in the Cargo Inventory application in N4 Mobile, except the Manifest and Transload options, which can be
done only using N4.

Cargo Operation Purpose

Manifest Manifest cargo (on page 130) to a
carrier, such as a vessel or a rail,
or you can manifest cargo to a
container
Stuff Cargo Stuff cargo (on page 151) lots into
a container
Strip Cargo Strip cargo (on page 153) lots
from a container
Vessel Load Load cargo lots to a vessel either
by moving the cargo lot to the yard
or directly onto the vessel
Vessel UnLoad Unload cargo lots from a vessel
either to the yard or directly onto a
truck
Truck Load Load cargo lots to a truck

Key Terms
Ad hoc pick-up

Cargo delivery simplified, and delivered ad hoc.

Break-bulk cargo

General cargo that is conventionally stevedored and stowed (palletized or sling), as opposed to bulk or containerized
cargo.

Bulk cargo

Cargo that is stowed without packaging such as a container, grains and liquids are common examples of bulk cargo.

Non-containerized

Cargo that is not loaded into a container, such as break bulk, dry bulk, liquid bulk, large machinery, or rolling stock. N4
does not currently handle non-containerized cargo.

Identified Lots

Identified cargo lots for a bill of lading item. For example, a car.

Container Freight Station (CFS)

A building where containers are packed and unpacked to consolidate loads from multiple shippers that are shipping
less than a full container load.

Manifest

A summary of all cargo that was loaded onboard a specific vessel (or train) during a specific voyage (or train service).
Manifests are usually broken down by load port, discharge port, transshipment port, and bill of lading number. Often
received via EDI.

Cargo bay

An area that is designated for cargo storage.

Bill of lading (BL)

Published: Monday, April 12, 2021 Navis N4 3.6.34: Cargo Manual Administrator and User Guide 10
Confidential -- Proprietary
Part 1: Cargo Overview and Getting Started Cargo Overview

A document or a contract between a line operator and a shipper. The bill of lading lists all cargo items received from a
shipper that will be delivered to the consignee named in the contract. It also lists the origin and the destination of the
cargo. One bill of lading can list cargo items that are distributed among several containers. Conversely, one container
can include cargo items from several bills of lading. Each bill of lading relates to a single vessel visit.

Next Step:

Read the Getting Started section. This section provides an overview of the setup and configuration tasks that
you must complete before you perform any cargo operation.

Confidential -- Proprietary
Getting Started
The following tables provide a comprehensive overview of the different setup and configuration tasks you must
complete before you begin performing cargo operations.

Setup

Tasks Setup / Action

Commodities Define commodity (on page 18) code. A
commodity code is a site-specific code
indicating the contents of a container.
Example: Cotton, shrimp, electronics, and
clothes.
Special Stows Define special stow codes (on page 24) as
maintained by your terminal.
Example: A stow code to identify a container
that is out-of-gauge, has a specific temperature
or humidity requirement, or is carrying
hazardous cargo.
Hazard Placards Define hazard placards (on page 25). The
hazard placards are used as the visual
identification of the hazards associated with a
unit.
Hazard Fire Code Define hazard fire (on page 27) code. You
can use a hazard fire code to map your local
hazard identification convention to the UN
hazard identifiers, the Hazard Class, and the
UN Number.
Package Types Define package types (on page 29) for
packaged items manifested on a BL.
Example: Pallet or a barrel.
Product Types Add product types (on page 31) to define the
type of product for an item. A product type is
the Universal Product Code (UPC) for an item,
such as USGE357 for General Electric product
number 357 sold in the US
Hazardous Goods Add hazardous goods (on page 33) for your
site. If you have the hazardous goods data as
an XML file based on the snx.xsd, you can
import the initial data for the Hazardous Goods.
Cargo Damage Types Add cargo damage types (on page 37) to
record a damage against a cargo lot.
Example: Dent.
EDI Configuration Create the following to import the Manifest EDI
file:

2.1.1 Commodities view

Configuration Cargo Commodities Commodities view

The Commodities view displays the commodity codes that exist at the current scope level. A commodity code is a
site-specific code indicating the contents of a container, such as cotton, shrimp, electronics, and clothes. Typically,
commodity codes are assigned to exports received at the gate. Some facilities also assign commodity codes to imports
and transships.

A facility uses commodity codes for decking because some commodities tend to get rolled often as exports and some
commodities tend to have long dwell times as imports.

You can add new commodity codes, and edit or delete existing commodity codes from this view.

In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Recover Obsolete: Recover deleted commodities.

• Purge: Purge commodities.
• Export SNX File: Export the selected commodities as an XML file using the snx.xsd format.
• Copy Reference Set: Copy commodities from another entity set.
• Assign Commodity Archetype (on page 22): Add/Update the archetype commodity(s) for the selected non-
archetype commodity(s).
• Remove Commodity Archetype: Remove the archetype commodity(s) assigned to the selected non-archetype
commodity(s).

You cannot purge an archetype commodity, if the commodity is referenced by one or more non-archetype
commodity.

To add a new record:

Click .

To edit or delete a record:

1. In the list view, select the record(s) that you want to edit or delete.
2. Do one of the following:

▪ Click to edit a selected record.

▪ Click to delete the selected record(s).

N4allows you to delete a BL even if it is assigned to a unit/cargo lot provided the unit’s transit state is either Advised,
Inbound, or Retired. However, N4 does not allow you to delete a BL if some or all of the related cargo/units/containers
have one of the following transit states EC/IN, EC/OUT, Yard, or Loaded. Instead, N4 displays an error message,
Cannot delete bill of lading {0}, as it is associated with Units

The Commodity form enables you to add and edit a commodity code. A commodity code is a site-specific code
indicating the contents of a container. N4 applies rudimentary hazardous information to a container based on its
commodity. You can also define the temperature requirements for refrigerated commodities. When you receive a
container load of one of these commodities, N4 automatically applies the temperature requirements to the container at
the gate.

You can use this form to manually add commodity codes or use the Actions Copy Reference Set option to copy
commodity codes defined in an existing entity set.

To add or edit a commodity code:

1. In the Commodity ID field, enter an ID that uniquely identifies the commodity.
You can use this code in data entry forms, such as the Booking Items form or the gate forms, to refer to the
commodity.
2. In the Commodity Short Name field, enter a short name for the commodity.
XPS uses a combination of Commodity ID and Commodity Short Name to identify a commodity. If the two values
are same, it displays only the Commodity ID.
3. In the Commodity Code field, enter the commodity code.
XPS displays the first character of the commodity code in the Information dialog.
4. In the Icon #1 field, enter the (background/foreground) reference number for the icon that you want to use to identify
the commodity in XPS.
5. In the Icon #2 field, enter the (background/foreground) reference number for an alternate icon that you want to use
to identify the commodity in XPS.
For more information, see Commodity icon reference. (on page 22)
XPS uses the alternate icon if the first icon is not available.
The Icon #1 and Icon #2 fields default to zero if you do not specify a value.

6. Optionally, use the various check boxes, such as Is Food, Is Film, and Is Oils, to define additional characteristics of
the commodity.

Currently, N4 does not use these check boxes to validate information about the commodity in any other data
entry forms.

7. In the Vertical Center of Gravity Ratio field, enter the vertical center of gravity ratio for the commodity.
To calculate the vertical center of gravity ratio divide the center of gravity of the container by the container height.
The vertical center of gravity ratio must be greater than 0.0 and less than 1.0. The aggregate vertical center of
gravity ratio affects the stability of the vessel.
8. Enter other optional information for the commodity.
9. Click Save.
The following table lists the optional fields in the Commodity form.

Field Label Description

Description Enter a short description for the commodity.
Icon Select a media asset that represents the icon for the
commodity in N4.
The lookup field displays the media assets that exist at
the current scope level. To add a new icon as a media
asset, see Media Assets view.

Field Label Description

Is Archetype? Select the check box to indicate that the selected
commodity is the master commodity, that is, one of the
standard commodities that you create in order to
reference non-archetype commodities when you create/
edit them. When you select this, N4 disables the
Archetype drop-down list. You can also select this check
box to convert a non-archetype commodity into an
archetype commodity.
For example, you could have multiple commodity entries
that are very similar, such as "frobeef", "froz beef", "fbeef".
However, all these commodities could be grouped under
a master commodity called FrozenBeef. So if another
commodity is created that is similar to FrozenBeef, then
you can apply the FrozenBeef commodity.
When you attempt to deselect this check box for the
archetype commodity that is referenced by one or more
non-archetype commodity(s), N4 raises an error message
and does not allow you to deselect it.

If you add an Arch Commodity after XPS start-up,

N4 sends this update to XPS only after you apply
one of the subordinate commodities to a
container, which in turn refers to the newly
created Arch Commodity.

Archetype Select an archetype commodity for the non-archetype

commodity.
The drop-down list lists the archetype commodities that
you created in the current scope level.
Non-reefer only Select the check box if the commodity cannot be in a live
reefer container.

If you select the Non-reefer only check box for a

commodity, N4 clears and disables the Validate
Temperature Range check box and the Validate
Ideal Temperature check box for the commodity.

Minimum Temperature Enter the minimum temperature required for the

commodity.
Maximum Temperature Enter the maximum temperature required for the
commodity.

2.1.2 Special Stows view

Configuration Cargo Special Stows Special Stows view

The Special Stows view displays the special stow codes that exist at the current scope level. Special stow codes are
assigned to containers with special requirements for loading to a vessel. For example, use special stow codes to
identify a container that is out-of-gauge, has a specific temperature or humidity requirement, or is carrying hazardous
cargo.

There are a few basic stow codes that vessel planners know and follow. For example, ADEK means 'Above Deck', and
the planner knows to plan the container to an above deck stow position. With special stow codes, it is best to have only
a few that everyone understands. Typically, twenty or so stow codes will cover 99% of special stow conditions.

You can add new special stow codes, and edit or delete existing special stow codes from this view.

In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Recover Obsolete: Recover deleted special stows.

• Purge: Purge special stows.

Configuration Cargo Hazard Fire Code Hazard Fire Code view Fire Code form

The Fire Code form enables you to add and edit a hazard fire code. You can use a hazard fire code to map your local
hazard identification convention to the UN hazard identifiers, the Hazard Class and the UN Number.

To add or edit a hazard fire code:

1. From the IMDG Class drop-down list, select a standard IMDG class code that identifies the hazardous material.
2. In the UN Number field, enter the standard UN Number for the hazardous material.
3. In the Fire Code field, enter the hazard fire code according to your local convention.
4. In the Fire Code Class field, enter the local hazardous code class or the premium code.
N4 uses the Fire Code Class to identify the main hazard code and UN number of the hazards associated with a
unit. Each hazardous cargo must be assigned a premium code.
5. Optionally, in the Description field, enter a short description for the hazard fire code.
6. Click Save.

Premium Code
A premium code identifies the severity of the hazard with which it is associated. N4 uses the premium code to
determine the main IMDG hazard class and UN number associated with a unit.

If there is only one hazard associated with a unit, N4 displays the corresponding IMDG class and UN number as the
main hazard and also uses it in the Chargeable Unit events table for billing purposes.

If multiple hazards are associated with a unit:

• N4 selects the hazard with the most severe premium code as the main hazard
• If multiple hazards have the same premium code, N4 selects the heaviest hazardous cargo as the main hazard
For example, if the following hazards are associated with a unit:

IMDG Class UN Number Premium

Code
1.2 1234 A

2.2 2345 B

If A represents the premium code for the most severe hazard, N4 assigns the hazard with the IMDG Class 1.2 and UN
number 1234 as the main hazard for the unit.

If the following hazards are associated with a unit:

IMDG Class UN Number Hazard Cargo Premium Code

Weight
1.2 1212 1000 Kg A

2.1.7.1 Hazardous Goods form

Configuration Cargo Hazardous Goods Hazardous Goods view

The Hazardous Goods form enables you to add hazardous goods records for your site. You can also use this form to
edit an existing hazardous goods record.

To add or edit a hazardous goods record:

1. In the UN/NA Number field, enter the United Nations or North American Department of Transportation identification
number for the hazardous good.
You can enter a maximum of four characters in this field.
N4 does not perform any validations for the data entered in this form. You must ensure that the correct
information is specified for each hazardous goods record.

2. Enter other optional information for the hazardous goods record, such as the IMDG Class, the Proper Name, and
the Placards.
3. Click Save.

N4 uses the data specified in this form to automatically fill-in the appropriate fields in when you are adding
hazards for a container or a booking.
However, if you use this form to edit the hazardous goods information after you have associated the
hazardous goods with a unit or a booking, N4 does not automatically update the unit record. If you want to
update the unit record, you must do so manually using the Hazards form.

The following table lists the optional fields in the Hazardous Goods form:

Field Label Description

IMDG Class Select the IMDG class for the hazardous goods
record.
Proper Name Enter the legal name for the hazardous goods.
Hazard Number Type Select either United Nations (UN) or North
American (NA) to specify the organization that
issued the identification number for the
hazardous goods.
Is Placard Optional Select the check box if the placard associated
with the hazardous goods is optional.

Field Label Description

Placard Select the placard associated with the hazardous
goods.

N4 displays the placard in the Booking

Inspector and the Unit Inspector if you
associate the hazardous good with the
booking or the unit.

When you associate the hazardous goods record

with an entity, such as a unit or a booking, N4
associates all the unique placards specified for
the hazardous goods and any subsidiary risks
with the entity. For example, if you have the
same placard associated with the hazardous
goods record and a subsidiary risk record, N4
displays the placard only once for the entity with
which you associate the hazardous goods.

You can associate only one placard with

each hazardous goods record. To
specify additional placards, use the
Subsidiary Risks tab (on page 35).

2.1.7.2 Hazardous Goods Inspector

Configuration Cargo Hazardous Goods Hazardous Goods view Hazardous Goods Inspector

Hazardous Goods Inspector open at all times as you work in other views and forms, and you can move and resize it
as needed.

When you update the selected hazardous goods record, N4 automatically refreshes the information displayed in the
Hazardous Goods Inspector.

The basic information for a hazardous goods record is displayed in the following areas:

• Inspect Hazardous Goods: The left area displays the UN/NA Number for the hazardous goods record.
• Details: The middle area displays the hazardous goods details, such as the IMDG class, the proper name for the
hazardous goods, the organization that issued the identification number, and whether the placards associated with
the record are optional.
• Placard Details: The right area displays the details of the hazard placards associated with the record.

N4 automatically fills-in these details from the Hazard Placards view (on page 24).

Configuration Cargo Cargo Damage Types Cargo Damage Types view

The Cargo Damage Types view displays the damage types that you can record against cargo lots. The damage types
displayed in the Damage Types view are used to record damages against equipment, such as containers and chassis.
Since cargo lots are not associated with any equipment, you must use the damage types displayed in the Cargo
Damage Types view to record damages against cargo lots.

You can add new cargo damage types or edit and delete existing cargo damage types from this view.

You must have the Cargo Damage Type privileges to view and update records in this list view. For more
information on available privileges, see General Cargo Privileges (on page 47).
In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Recover Obsolete: Recover deleted cargo damage types.

only marks the damage type as obsolete. You can use the Display Show All option to view all the obsolete
records in the list view. The Lifecycle column indicates whether a damage type is active or obsolete.
When you record a damage against a cargo lot, N4 displays only the active damage types in the lookup field.

• Purge: Permanently delete cargo damage types.

You can purge a cargo damage type only if it is not recorded against a cargo lot entity.

To add a new record:

Bill of Lading settings

2.2.1 Bill of Lading settings

You can use the following settings to configure the level of Bill of Lading functionality used for your site.

INVBL001 (TRUE_BILLS_OF_LADING)
Set it to false if you do not use the full Bill of Lading functionality and you want N4 to treat the BL number as only a text
field.

The default value for INVBL001 is true.

You can use the Shipment Details form to record the BL number for a unit. In addition, N4 displays the BL number in
the Units view and in the Status area in the Unit Inspector.

For validating the POD of the unit against the POD of the BL, see the CGOCargoValidation002
(MATCH_BL_UNIT_POD) (on page 40) setting.

INVBL002 (BILLS_OF_LADING_FOR_ALL_IMPORT_EMPTIES)
Set it to true if you use bills of lading for all empty import containers and if you do not want N4 to send the BL Number
to XPS as the release number.

The default value for INVBL002 is false.

2.2.2 Cargo Settings

You can use the following settings to specify the level of validation that N4 must implement for the cargo and bills of
lading associated with a container.

CGOCargoRelease001 (RELEASE_BY_QTY_FLAGTYPE)
Specify the default terminal hold that you wish to apply to a Bill of Lading. Whenever a BL is created, N4 places this
hold that either releases or applies a hold by quantity. If the Released Quantity and the Manifested Quantity are
equal, the hold defined is released for a BL.

Ensure you use the same ID when defining the default hold using the Hold/Permission Type form.

CGOCargoValidation001 (MATCH_BL_UNIT_LINE)
This setting determines whether N4 must validate the line operator for the unit against the line operator for the bill of
lading during data entry in a form, SNX import, or processing an EDI message. The default value for
CGOCargoValidation001 is true and N4 validates the unit line operator against the BL line operator for all these
processes.

Set it to false, if you do not want N4 to validate the line operator for the unit against the line operator for the bill of
lading.If you override this setting for your site, you must do so at the Complex scope level for the EDI messages to
use the correct value of the setting.

If you see a line operator mismatch error message, it could be a result of this being set to true.

CGOCargoValidation002 (MATCH_BL_UNIT_POD)
This setting determines whether N4 must validate the Port of Discharge (POD) for the unit against the POD for the bill
of lading during data entry in a form, SNX import, or processing an EDI message. The default value for
CGOCargoValidation002 is true and N4 validates the unit POD against the BL POD for all these processes.

Set it to false, if you do not want N4 to validate the POD for the unit against the POD for the bill of lading.If you
override this setting for your site, you must do so at the Complex scope level for the EDI messages to use the correct
value of the setting.

To enable/disable the Bill of Lading functionality, see INVBL001 (TRUE_BILLS_OF_LADING) (on page 39)
setting.

CGOCargoValidation003 (MATCH_BL_UNIT_POL)
This setting determines whether N4 must validate the Port of Load (POL) for the unit against the POL for the bill of
lading during data entry in a form, SNX import, or processing an EDI message. The default value for
CGOCargoValidation002 is true and N4 validates the unit POL against the POL for the BL for all these processes.

Set it to false, if you do not want N4 to validate the POL for the unit against the POL for the bill of lading.If you override
this setting for your site, you must do so at the Complex scope level for the EDI messages to use the correct value of
the setting.

CGOCargoValidation004 (MATCH_BL_UNIT_CARRIER_VISIT)
This setting determines whether N4 must validate the carrier visit for the unit against the carrier visit for the bill of lading
during data entry in a form, SNX import, or processing an EDI message. The default value for
CGOCargoValidation004 is true and N4 validates the unit carrier visit against the BL carrier visit for all these
processes.

Set it to false, if you do not want N4 to validate the carrier visit for the unit against the carrier visit for the bill of lading.If
you override this setting for your site, you must do so at the Complex scope level for the EDI messages to use the
correct value of the setting.

CGORECONSIGN001 (ON_RECONSIGN)
You can use this setting to determine whether to merge or move the Bill of Lading (BL) items when you re-consign one
BL to another BL with identical commodities. For information on how to re-consign one BL to another, see Merge or
move the Bill of Lading (BL) items when you re-consign one BL to another BL with identical commodities (on page
188).

By default, N4 merges the BL items if you re-consign one BL to another BL with matching commodity.

If you override this setting by selecting MOVE_ITEMS_IDENTIFIED_CARGO, N4 moves the BL items from one BL to
the other BL with matching commodity.

This setting is applicable only for identified cargo lots. You can use the Identified Lots tab (on page 71) in the
Bill of Lading Item form to add or edit identified cargo lots.

INVMOBILE_RDT005 (MOBILE_CARGO_INVENTORY_POPULATE_QTY)
N4 Mobile populates the Quantity field withthe cargo lot quantity in all N4 Mobile Cargo Inventory programs. You can
use this setting to either display or hide the cargo lot quantity in the Quantity field.

Cargo Settings

True: N4 Mobile Cargo Inventory programs populate the Quantity field with the cargo lot quantity.

False: N4 Mobile Cargo Inventory programs do not populate the cargo lot quantity in the Quantity field and allows the
user to enter the quantity.

The default value of the setting is True.

ROADGATE034 (CARGO_BL_LOV_FILTER)
This setting gives you the option to filter and view Cargo Bill Of Lading and Cargo BL Item data based on your gate
transaction type (either Receive Break-Bulk or Deliver Break-Bulk). For example, if you are performing a Receive
Break-Bulk transaction, the Cargo Bill Of Lading and Cargo BL Item LOV fields filter and display data only
associated with the Receive Break-Bulk transaction type.

If the ROADGATE034 gate setting is set to:

True: The Cargo Bill Of Lading and Cargo BL Item LOV fields in the Gate form filter and display data based on the
transaction type (Receive Break-Bulk or Deliver Break-Bulk).

Depending on the size of your database, setting ROADGATE034 to True could cause performance issues that
may slow down your gate process.

False: The Cargo Bill Of Lading and Cargo BL Item LOV fields in the Gate form display all values irrespective of the
transaction type.

The default value for this setting is False.

xpscacheCARGO001 (CARGO_XPS)
This setting determines if N4 should send break bulk cargo units to XPS. Set it to:

• true to share with XPS the break bulk cargo units listed on the N4 Unit Inspector Cargo Lots tab.
• false (default) if you don't want N4 to share with XPS the break bulk cargo units listed on the N4 Unit Inspector
Cargo Lots tab.

3.1 Bills of Lading view
Operations Cargo Bills of Lading Bills of Lading view
Operations Unit Bills of Lading Bills of Lading view

Prerequisites
• To access the Bills of Lading view, you need to assign the Bills of Lading - View privilege to your user role.

A bill of lading is a document or a contract between a line operator and a shipper. See where bills of lading fit in the
Gate Operations process

The bill of lading lists all cargo items received from a shipper that will be delivered to the consignee named in the
contract. It also lists the origin and the destination of the cargo. One bill of lading can list cargo items that are
distributed among several containers. It can also list non-containerized cargo (cargo located on the vessel), such as
automobiles. Conversely, one container can include cargo items from several bills of lading. Each bill of lading relates
to a single vessel visit.

You can use bills of lading to manage the release of import and transship containers arriving on a deep sea vessel.

The Bills of Lading view displays the bills of lading that exist at the current scope level. You can create a filter to limit
the data displayed, such as displaying only the bills of lading for a specific vessel visit.

If you do not use the bill of lading functionality, set the INVBL001 (TRUE_BILLS_OF_LADING) (on page 39)
configuration setting as false.
When you set INVBL001 as false, N4:

• Does not display the bills of lading for a unit in the Bills of Lading view.
• Displays the bill of lading number in the Units view or in the Status area in the Unit Inspector.
• Allows you to record the bill of lading number for the selected unit using the Shipment Details form.
From this view, you can add new bills of lading, and edit or delete existing bills of lading.

You cannot delete a bill of lading if it is associated with an active gate transaction. In addition, you cannot delete
a Master BL before you delete all the associated Bills of Lading created using the Split BL action.
In addition, you can use the Actions menu to:

• Export SNX File: Export the selected bills of lading as an XML file using the snx.xsd format.

This action is not available from the Actions menu in the Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 74).

• Inspect Bill of Lading: Displays the Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 74) for the bill of lading selected in the list
view.
You can also double-click a bill of lading record in the list view to access the inspector.
• Copy Bill of Lading (on page 82): Copies the header information, such as Category, Line Operator, Vessel Visit,
POD, and POL, BL Items, and default cargo lots from the selected bill of lading to create a new bill of lading.

The Inspect Bill of Lading and the Copy Bill of Lading actions are not available from the Actions menu in
the Bill of Lading Inspector.

Cargo Privileges

In addition, if you select multiple records in the list view, N4 disables the Inspect Bill of Lading and the
Copy Bill of Lading actions.

• Record Service Event: Record service events for the selected bill of lading.
• Update Holds/Permissions: Update holds/permissions for the selected bill of lading.

If you do not want to allow a user to edit a bill of lading but still be able to release a hold/permission
associated with a bill of lading, you can include the Bills of Lading Actions - Apply/Release the Holds/
Permissions privilege for the user and exclude the Bills of Lading - Edit privilege.

• Create Service Order (on page 83): Add a service order for the selected bill of lading.
• Delete Bill Of Lading: Deletes the selected bill of lading

To add a new record:

Click .

To edit or delete a record:

1. In the list view, select the record(s) that you want to edit or delete.
2. Do one of the following:

▪ Click to edit a selected record.

▪ Click to delete the selected record(s).

N4allows you to delete a BL even if it is assigned to a unit/cargo lot provided the unit’s transit state is either
Advised, Inbound, or Retired. However, N4 does not allow you to delete a BL if some or all of the related
cargo/units/containers have one of the following transit states EC/IN, EC/OUT, Yard, or Loaded. Instead, N4
displays an error message, Cannot delete bill of lading {0}, as it is associated with Units

Operations Cargo Bills of Lading Bills of Lading view Bill of Lading form
Operations Unit Bills of Lading Bills of Lading view Bill of Lading form

You can use the Bill of Lading form to add or edit a bill of lading (on page 59). You can also use this form to associate
items (on page 66) and units (on page 73) to the bill of lading. See where this task fits in the Gate Operations
process

You must save a new bill of lading before you can add items or units to the bill of lading.

To add or edit a bill of lading:

1. When you open the Bill of Lading form in the edit mode, N4 displays the BL Generated Id field.
This is an auto-generated unique ID for the bill of lading. N4 uses this unique ID to generate the Cargo Lot ID of the
cargo lots associated with the bill of lading. For more information, see Cargo Lots view (on page 96).
2. In the BL Number field, enter a number that identifies the bill of lading.
3. From the Line Operator lookup field, select the line operator for the bill of lading.

The bill of lading line operator must also be the line operator for the carrier visit specified in step 4, unless the
carrier visit is for a common carrier vessel.

You cannot add an Export unit to an Import bill of lading or an Import unit to an Export bill of lading.

5. From the Vessel Visit lookup field, select the vessel visit for the bill of lading.
6. N4 does not display carrier visits that are in the Archived, Closed, or Canceled phase in this list.

If you change the vessel visit associated with a bill of lading, N4 also verifies the Port of Load and Port of
Discharge fields. If the new vessel visit does not have these ports in the itinerary, N4 clears the fields in the
Bill of Lading form. If the new vessel visit has these ports in the itinerary, N4 does not change the values in
the Port of Load and Port of Discharge fields. If these values are no longer appropriate, you must manually
change these values. To view or edit the itinerary of a vessel visit, use the Edit Port Rotation form.

7. Specify any optional information such as the port of load, port of discharge, origin, and destination, for the bill of
lading.
8. Click Save.
The following table lists the optional fields in the Bill of Lading form:

Notes
In addition to the fields listed here, you can configure additional fields for the Bill of Lading form using the
Database Backed Variforms view.

When you upload a Manifest EDI message with BL items, N4 processes all items individually, displays the BL
item number for each BL item, and updates the quantity, package weight, and total weight for each of the items.
N4 performs the weight calculations only if the Manifest EDI message has values for any two of the following
fields: Item Quantity, Package Weight (kg), or Item Total Weight (kg). If you specify the item quantity and
package weight, N4 calculates the item's total weight.

PIN
The PIN is a unique identification for a unit, bill of lading, or delivery order that a line operator can use to validate that a
truck driver is picking up the correct container or break-bulk cargo.

For unit
In N4, you can use the Delivery Requirements form to assign or edit the PIN for a unit. These privileges control the
ability to view and edit PIN associated with a unit:

• Pin - Check: You can check whether a PIN is assigned to a unit but you cannot see the actual number.
• Pin - View: You can view the PIN assigned to a unit, but you cannot edit the PIN.
• Pin - Edit: You can view and edit the PIN assigned to a unit.
• Deny access to Unit field PIN Number: You cannot view the PIN Number field or column on forms and list views.

If the user’s role excludes the privileges PIN - Check, PIN - Edit, and PIN – View, then on the Units view, the
PIN Number column displays the data as "****".
A line operator can control:

• Whether to use PINs for all units operated by the line operator
• Whether to assign a PIN for each unit or allow N4 to generate a PIN automatically when the unit is first created, for
example using a stow plan
Use the Line Operator form Booking Rules tab to specify these restrictions.

A line operator may receive the PIN from an EDI trading partner or it may be generated in N4. If the line operators
assign a PIN to a unit they can specify an alphanumeric value. If N4 generates the PIN, it consists of only digits but the
value is stored as a string value.

PIN is available as part of the Unit reporting entity and can be included in various reports.

You can configure the Pin Number field on a gate form at the outgate stage for a deliver gate transaction to force the
truck driver to enter a PIN. You can include the RejectPinNbrMismatch, RejectPinNbrNotAssigned, and
RejectPinNbrNotEntered business tasks in your gate configuration to control the delivery of a unit using the PIN.

to the cargo, package contents, and any reefer requirements for the commodity.

Use the Bill of Lading Item form to add or edit an item for the selected bill of lading. When you save a BL item, N4
creates the default cargo lot for the BL item and lists it in the Cargo Lots tab (on page 70). N4 sets a period in the
Default column to indicate a default cargo lot. You cannot edit the Default field manually. After N4 creates the default
cargo lot, you can either manifest or identify this cargo lot. For more information on these actions, see the Cargo Lots
view (on page 96).

selected commodity.
3. Specify any optional information for the BL item.
4. Click Save.

The Sequence Number is a read-only field. When you save a BL item, N4 automatically generates the
Sequence Number to provide a unique identifier for the BL item.

When you save a BL item, N4 creates the default cargo lot for the BL item and displays it in the Cargo Lots tab (on
page 70). If you edit an existing bill of lading, N4 automatically updates the associated default cargo lot.

The following table lists the optional fields in the Item area in the Bill of Lading Item form.

such as Kilograms, or Pounds, N4 calculates the
Item Total Weight by converting the value
specified in the Quantity field from the unit select
in the Bulk Unit field to the unit for the Item Total
Weight field.
For example, if you select the Bulk Units as
Pounds and enter the Quantity as 1200, N4 sets
the Item Total Weight (kg) as 544 kg.

For non-bulk cargo, N4 performs the following calculations after you save a BL item. If you enter:

• Quantity + Item Total Weight: N4 calculates the Package Weight.

• Quantity + Package Weight: N4 calculates the Item Total Weight.
• Quantity + Package Weight + Item Total Weight: N4 saves all the values without any calculations.
For bulk cargo, N4 performs the above calculations only if the selected Bulk Unit is a weight unit, such as Kilograms,
or Pounds. If the select Bulk Unit is related to volume, such as Gallons or Liters, you must enter the Item Total
Weight manually.

N4 recalculates these values if you update any of the above values in a BL item.

When you record an event with a service order number, N4 updates the service order item status to Completed. For
more information, see Service Order Inspector Units tab.
N4 extracts the selected service order number to the Service Order field in the Chargeable Unit Events view for
the event.
3. From the Responsible Party lookup field, select the party responsible. If N4 automatically fills in the Responsible
Party field using the value specified in the Billing Party field in the Service Order form, the value cannot be edited.
N4 extracts this value to the Payee Id field in the Chargeable Unit Events view for the event.
4. Optionally, record the Quantity and Quantity Unit associated with the selected event type.
For example, if you have an event that records power supplied for reefers, you can enter a value in the Quantity
field and select the unit of time (days or hours) in the Quantity Unit field.
5. Optionally, in the Note field, enter any notes for the service event.
6. Optionally, in the Apply Date field, enter the date when the event is performed.

If the selected service event type is bulk-applicable, but a validation prevents you from recording it for one or more of
the selected items, N4 does not record the service event for any of the selected items.

In addition, if N4 is configured to automatically update a field, add/release a hold, or grant/cancel a permission, per a
service event type effect or auto update rule, N4 attempts to perform these tasks. If the change is unsuccessful, N4
displays an error message. But for an auto update rule, if any of the following are true then N4 does nothing:

• To release a hold when the hold is not active for the target entity.
• To cancel a permission when the permission is not granted for the target entity (permission will still be required).

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 72) 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:
a. The BL Number field displays the ID of the selected bill of lading.

3.2 Delivery Orders view
Operations Cargo Delivery Orders Delivery Orders view

Prerequisites
• To access the Delivery Orders view, you need to assign the Delivery Order - View privilege to your user role.

A delivery order is a group of one or multiple bill of lading (BL) items that represent cargo to be picked up by trucks or
be placed on railcars for departure from the terminal for the same consignee. The BL items included in a delivery order
may be associated with the same or different bills of lading. Usually, the consignee for a shipment creates or provides
the delivery order. You can use a delivery order to manage cargo lot pickup by a truck or several trucks arriving at the
terminal.

If you use delivery orders for Deliver Break-Bulk (DB) gate transactions, N4 updates the Order Status when the truck
visit and the associated gate transaction are completed. However, if the delivery order is created without cargo lot
details, the Order Status remains New. N4 updates the Order Status based on the Cargo Delivery Order Item field.
Therefore, in your gate configuration, you must include the Cargo Delivery Order Item field for the Deliver Break-Bulk
(DB) gate transaction at the ingate stage.

You can use the Deliver Orders view to add, edit, and delete delivery orders. In addition, you can use the Actions
Cancel Delivery Order (on page 90) option to cancel the selected delivery order. If you select multiple records in the
list view, N4 disables this action.

To add a new record:

Click .

To edit or delete a record:

1. In the list view, select the record(s) that you want to edit or delete.
2. Do one of the following:

▪ Click to edit a selected record.

▪ Click to delete the selected record(s).

▪ N4allows you to delete a BL even if it is assigned to a unit/cargo lot provided the unit’s transit state is either
Advised, Inbound, or Retired. However, N4 does not allow you to delete a BL if some or all of the related cargo/
units/containers have one of the following transit states EC/IN, EC/OUT, Yard, or Loaded. Instead, N4 displays
an error message, Cannot delete bill of lading {0}, as it is associated with Units

PIN
The PIN is a unique identification for a unit, bill of lading, or delivery order that a line operator can use to validate that a
truck driver is picking up the correct container or break-bulk cargo.

For unit
In N4, you can use the Delivery Requirements form to assign or edit the PIN for a unit. These privileges control the
ability to view and edit PIN associated with a unit:

• Pin - Check: You can check whether a PIN is assigned to a unit but you cannot see the actual number.
• Pin - View: You can view the PIN assigned to a unit, but you cannot edit the PIN.
• Pin - Edit: You can view and edit the PIN assigned to a unit.
• Deny access to Unit field PIN Number: You cannot view the PIN Number field or column on forms and list views.

If the user’s role excludes the privileges PIN - Check, PIN - Edit, and PIN – View, then on the Units view, the
PIN Number column displays the data as "****".
A line operator can control:

• Whether to use PINs for all units operated by the line operator
• Whether to assign a PIN for each unit or allow N4 to generate a PIN automatically when the unit is first created, for
example using a stow plan
Use the Line Operator form Booking Rules tab to specify these restrictions.

A line operator may receive the PIN from an EDI trading partner or it may be generated in N4. If the line operators
assign a PIN to a unit they can specify an alphanumeric value. If N4 generates the PIN, it consists of only digits but the
value is stored as a string value.

PIN is available as part of the Unit reporting entity and can be included in various reports.

History, Events tab

You can access the Event History tab from various inspectors.

The History, Events tab displays the events recorded for the selected entity such as unit, container, chassis,
accessory, vessel visit, train visit, bill of lading, or an order (booking, EDO, or ELO). You can record service events for
the selected entity on this tab. For more information, see Event Types view.

In addition, when you perform certain tasks in N4 or in XPS, such as discharge a container or edit the routing
information for a booking, N4 records the associated built-in events on the tab for the affected entity.

To view the details of an event, double-click the event or use the Action Show Details option. The Changes field
displays the values that changed per the event for a unit, booking, EDO, or ELO, such as the old and new unit position
for a unit discharge event.

When a billable event is extracted to the Chargeable Unit Events view, N4 associates the Batch ID with the event.
You can display the Extract Batch column to view the Batch ID associated with the event. For more information on
displaying a column, see Hiding and displaying columns.

For break-bulk units that are associated with cargo lots, N4 also displays any cargo lot events in the History, Events
tab for the unit.

You can see the Hatch Clerk's ID in the XPS log, but it does not appear in N4 by default unless you use the Radio

3.3 Cargo Lots view
Operations Cargo Cargo Lots Cargo Lots view

A cargo lot represents non-containerized cargo, such as break-bulk cargo, rolling cargo, and bulk cargo. N4 enables
you to view and track non-containerized cargo and perform actions, such as stuff and strip cargo, manifest cargo, and
load and discharge cargo from a carrier.

Prerequisites
• Viewing cargo lot information in N4 requires the Bills of Lading Option.
• Cargo Lot - View privilege.

N4 uses cargo lots to track cargo in three basic ways:

• Bulk Cargo: Cargo is tracked by weight or volume, such as coal, wheat, and crude oil.
• Quantified Cargo: Cargo is tracked by quantity. This is sometimes referred to as Pseudo Bulk Cargo. In this case,
each piece of cargo does not have a unique identifier either because the identifier is unknown or because the pieces
are too numerous and interchangeable; therefore, this type of cargo is tracked only by quantity.
• Identified Cargo: Each piece of cargo is tracked by a known and unique identifier, such as the VIN number of a car.
For Bulk Cargo and Quantified Cargo, N4 creates:

One cargo lot and one unit per location

For bulk and quantified cargo, N4 maintains a cargo lot for each pile of a BL item at a unique location and each
cargo lot has an associated unit in the Units view. For example, consider a scenario where a BL item with 15 crates
arrives on a vessel. As the cargo is unloaded from the vessel, at some point you have:

• Three crates remaining onboard the vessel on Deck A.

• Two crates remaining onboard the vessel on Deck B.
• Four crates in the warehouse A at position A-12.
• One crate in the warehouse A at position A-23.
• Five crate on a truck that already left the yard.
N4 creates five cargo lots, one for each pile of the BL item at a unique location, and five corresponding units. If you
now discharge two of the three crates on the vessel on Deck A to position A-23 in the warehouse A, N4:

• Decreases the quantity of the cargo lot on Deck A by 2.

• Increases the quantity of the cargo lot at position A-23 by 2.
• Does not create any new cargo lots or units.
However, if you discharged the two crates on the vessel on Deck A to position A-34 in the warehouse A, N4 would:

• Decrease the quantity of the cargo lot on Deck A by 2.

• Create a new cargo lot for position A-34 with Quantity = 2.
• Create a corresponding new unit in the Units view.
For Identified Cargo, N4 creates:

One cargo lot and one unit per piece

Part 3: Cargo Management Cargo Lots view
Delivery Order Inspector

For identified cargo, N4 maintains a cargo lot and a corresponding unit for each piece. For example, if you have a BL
item for identified cargo and Quantity = 15, N4 creates 15 cargo lots and 15 units for the BL item.

The Cargo Lots view displays the cargo lot records that fall within the Horizon (days) specified for the user. N4
compares the Created Date for a cargo lot with the Horizon (days) (User Preferences form) value to determine the
oldest record displayed in this view.

You can prevent the users logged in at one facility from viewing the cargo lots for the other facilities within the complex,
by including the CARGO_LOT_DENY_UNFILTERED_VIEW privilege in a role assigned to them and creating a saved
filter that is based on the Inbound BL Item Vessel Visit Facility (Ves. Facility) field in the Cargo Lots view. For more
information, see How do I prevent users logged in at one facility from viewing cargo lots for another facility in the
complex? (on page 183)

The Cargo Lots view displays only the cargo lots with non-zero quantities. To view the cargo lots where
Quantity = 0, use the Bill of Lading form (on page 62) Items tab (on page 66) of the associated BL.
From this view, you cannot add or delete a cargo lot. However, you can double-click a record to access the Cargo Lot
Inspector (on page 101) and view details of an existing cargo lot, edit some of the fields associated with the cargo lot,
and perform various actions related to cargo lots.

You can use the Actions menu to:

• Edit Cargo Lot (on page 115): Edit some of the fields associated with the selected cargo lot record.
• Stuff (on page 115): Stuff the selected cargo lot(s) into a container.
• Strip (on page 118): Strip the contents of a container to a yard position.

In the Cargo Lots view, if you press CTRL+s keys, N4 displays the Select Action message box where you can type
the first few characters of the action that you want to perform to access the option.

For example, if you want to record damages for the selected cargo lot, you can either click Actions Record
Damages option to access the Damages form (on page 142) or you can press CTRL+s keys and in the Select Action
message box, type Rec and select the Record Damage option from the list to access the Damages form.

The Cargo Lots view displays the information about the related break-bulk unit, such as the Unit Nbr, Position, and
T-state. The Position and T-state information is derived from the current Active unit facility visit (UFV). If the current
UFV is in the Advised state, it does not have an Active UFV, therefore, the related information is not displayed in the
Cargo Lots view.

Part 3: Cargo Management Cargo Lots view
Cargo Lot ID

Cargo Lot ID
A Cargo Lot ID not only identifies the cargo lot but is also used as the Unit Nbr for the break-bulk unit associated with
the cargo lot. Since the unit numbers must be unique, N4 uses the following logic to generate a cargo lot ID and to
ensure that the cargo lot IDs are unique throughout N4:

The Cargo Lot ID consists of the following parts separated by dashes:

• The first part is the Bill of Lading Generated ID (BL GID).

In earlier versions of N4 the BL Number was used to generate the Cargo Lot ID. However, since the BL Numbers
may not always be unique, N4 now uses the auto-generated BL GID.
The BL GID is 8 digits long, where the first digit is a number that increments from 1 through 9 (after which it resets
to 1) and the next seven digits are generated from the Bill of Lading GKey (1 through 9,999,999).
If the GKey is less than seven digits, N4 prefixes the number with zeros.
For example, if the GKey of the BL is 1234, N4 adds zeros to make it 0001234. If the first digit is 1, the entire GID is
10001234 (1+0001234).
• The second part is the BL Item Sequence Number (only numeric, from 1 through infinity).
• The third part is the Cargo Lot Sequence Number (only numeric, from 0 (for the default cargo lot) through infinity).
For example, if the BL GID is 10001234 and the BL Item Sequence Number is 3, the Cargo Lot ID for the default
cargo lot is 10001234-3-0.

N4 displays the BL GID field in the Bills of Lading view (on page 59), Bill of Lading form (on page 62) (edit mode),
Cargo Lots view (on page 96), and the Details area in the Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 74).

The History, Events tab in the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 101) displays the events recorded for the selected
cargo lot. The Changes field displays the values that changed per the event for the selected cargo lot.

Although N4 allows you to add event types for the cargo lot entity, they are available only for audit purposes and
are not supported with any other feature except to view them in the History, Events tab in the Cargo Lot
Inspector.
N4 displays the following events in the History, Events tab of the selected cargo lot:

• Event types where the Applies To field is set as Cargo Lot and the Functional Area may or may not be set as
Applicable to Cargo module.
These events are also listed in the History, Events tab of the Unit Inspector of the break-bulk unit associated with
the cargo lot.
• Event types where the Applies To field is set as Unit and the Functional Area is set as Applicable to Cargo
module.
To record an event for a cargo lot manually, use the Record Service Event form (on page 105).

To view the details of an event, double-click the event or use the Action Show Details option.

The Description and Billable Event fields in this form are read-only. N4 uses these fields to provide a short
description of the event and indicate whether the event is billable to the customer.

The Field Updates area in this form displays any fields that require user input. The fields displayed in this area depend
on the effects defined for the selected event. For more information, see Effects tab.

To record a service event:

1. From the Event Type ID drop-down list, select the service event that you want to record for the selected entity.
The drop-down list displays only the service event types defined at the current scope level that apply to the selected

target entity and for which you have the required privilege. For more information on adding a service event type, see
Event Type form.
2. Optionally, select the Service Order Number associated with the event.
The Service Order Number drop-down list displays only the service orders that have either the In Progress or the
New status. It does not display a service order if the status is either Completed or Cancelled.
When you record an event with a service order number, N4 updates the service order item status to Completed. For
more information, see Service Order Inspector Units tab.
N4 extracts the selected service order number to the Service Order field in the Chargeable Unit Events view for
the event.
3. From the Responsible Party lookup field, select the party responsible. If N4 automatically fills in the Responsible
Party field using the value specified in the Billing Party field in the Service Order form, the value cannot be edited.
N4 extracts this value to the Payee Id field in the Chargeable Unit Events view for the event.
4. Optionally, record the Quantity and Quantity Unit associated with the selected event type.
For example, if you have an event that records power supplied for reefers, you can enter a value in the Quantity
field and select the unit of time (days or hours) in the Quantity Unit field.
5. Optionally, in the Note field, enter any notes for the service event.
6. Optionally, in the Apply Date field, enter the date when the event is performed.
By default, N4 displays the current system date in this field.
7. Click OK.
N4 displays the recorded service event for the selected entity on the History, Event tab.
If the selected service event type is bulk-applicable, but a validation prevents you from recording it for one or more of
the selected items, N4 does not record the service event for any of the selected items.

In addition, if N4 is configured to automatically update a field, add/release a hold, or grant/cancel a permission, per a
service event type effect or auto update rule, N4 attempts to perform these tasks. If the change is unsuccessful, N4
displays an error message. But for an auto update rule, if any of the following are true then N4 does nothing:

• To release a hold when the hold is not active for the target entity.
To cancel a permission when the permission is not granted for the target entity (permission will still be required).

Holds/Perms tab
Operations Cargo Cargo Lots Cargo Lots view Cargo Lot Inspector Holds/Perms tab

The Holds/Perms tab displays the holds/permissions for the selected cargo lot. You can add a hold for the selected
cargo lot on this tab.

In addition, you can use the following Actions menu options to:

• Show Details: View the details of the selected hold/permission and the list of events affected by it.
You can also double-click a hold/permission to view the details and the list of events affected by it.
• Grant Permission (on page 82): Grant the selected permission.
You can only grant REQUIRED permissions.

• Cancel Permission: Cancel the selected permission.

You can only cancel GRANTED permissions.
The Holds/Perms tab also displays the prerequisite events associated with the selected cargo lot. A prerequisite event
has the PRE_REQUISITE status. Use the Actions Show Details option to view the details of the prerequisite event
and the list of events affected by it.

You must record the prerequisite service event for the selected entity before you can record the service events listed
on the Affected Event Types tab.

To record a prerequisite service event, on the History, Events tab (on page 105) for the selected cargo lot, click or
use the Actions Record Service Event (on page 105) option.

Update Hold/Permission form

Operations Cargo Cargo Lots Cargo Lots view Cargo Lot Inspector Holds/Perms tab Update Hold/Permission form

The Update Hold/Permission form enables you to add/release holds, or grant/cancel permissions for the selected
cargo lots.

Prerequisites
• In this form, you can select a hold/permission in step 2 only if it exists at the current scope level and has a service
business rule defined. For more information, see Holds/Permissions view.

To update a Hold/Permission:
1. From the Action drop-down list, select one of the following options:
▪ Add Hold: Add a hold for the selected cargo lot(s).
▪ Release Hold: Release an ACTIVE hold for the cargo lot(s).
▪ Grant Permission: Grant a REQUIRED permission for the cargo lot(s).
▪ Cancel Permission: Cancel a GRANTED permission for the cargo lot(s).
2. From the Hold/Permission drop-down list, select the hold that you want to add/release or the permission that you
want to grant/cancel.
The Description and Target Entity Type fields are view-only and display information about the selected hold/
permission.
3. From the Relation to Referenced Guardian drop-down list, select the guardian entity type for the selected hold/
permission.
For a list of target entities and the related guardian entity types, see Target and guardian entity types.
4. From the Referenced Guardian Entity drop-down list, select the specific guardian entity for the hold/permission.
The values in the drop-down list depend on the option selected in step 3.

The Relation to Referenced Guardian and Referenced Guardian Entity drop-down list are enabled only
for guarded holds/permissions. For more information, see Rule types.

The Has Unique Reference Id and Reference Id Required check boxes are read-only and display the options set
at the time the hold/permission was defined. For more information, see Hold/Permission Type form.
5. If the Reference Id Required check box is selected, you must enter a reference ID in the Reference ID field, and if

Published: Monday, April 12, 2021 Navis N4 3.6.34: Cargo Manual Administrator and User Guide 107
Confidential -- Proprietary
Part 3: Cargo Management Cargo Lots view
Cargo Lot Inspector

the Has Unique Reference Id check box is selected, the reference ID entered in the Reference ID field must be
unique for the entity and hold/permission combination.

To change the reference ID for an existing hold/permission, you must release/cancel the hold/permission and
read the hold/permission with the new reference ID.

6. Optionally, in the Note field, enter a note for any special considerations for the hold/permission.
7. Click OK.
When updating a hold/permission:

• If you select multiple cargo lots in a list view and a validation prevents you from applying the hold/permission to one
or more selected cargo lot(s), N4 still applies the hold/permission to the other selected cargo lot(s).
• If the selected hold/permission already exists as an ACTIVE hold or a REQUIRED permission for a selected cargo
lot(s), N4 does not apply the same hold/permission twice.
• If a hold/permission that requires a unique reference ID already exists as an ACTIVE hold or a REQUIRED
permission for a selected cargo lot(s), N4 does not apply the same hold/permission twice if the reference ID that you
specify is the same as the reference ID that already exists.

Cargo Holds/Permissions
N4 persists holds/permissions for a cargo lot when you perform move actions, such as load and unload, or when you
stuff and strip cargo lots to and from containers. When you stuff cargo with holds/permissions into a container with no
holds/permissions, N4 retains the cargo holds/permissions. When you strip cargo with holds/permissions, N4 saves the
holds/permissions with the new cargo lot.

As most of the cargo Actions record events against the associated cargo unit, you must create the Holds/
Permissions for the Unit entity and not the Cargo Lot entity.

The following table list the various cargo-related events and the entity for which the event is recorded.

Cargo Stuff form

• A bill of lading item (on page 66) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
• A cargo unit in the yard (a B-Bulk unit must exist in the Units view for the cargo lot).

To stuff a cargo unit into an empty storage unit:

1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the cargo lot(s) that you want to stuff into a unit.
The cargo lot must have a cargo unit associated with it and the position of the cargo unit can be in the yard or truck.
You cannot select a default cargo lot to perform the stuff action.
2. Select Actions Stuff.
3. In the Cargo Stuff form:
a. Optionally, in the Service Order Nbr field, enter the ID of the service order for the stuff action.
The specified service order must exist in N4. To add a new service order, use the Actions Create Service
Order (on page 121) option.
b. In the Container field, enter the Unit Nbr of the unit into which you want to stuff the selected cargo lot(s).

If the commodity associated with the cargo lot has temperature requirements, you can stuff the selected
cargo lot only into a reefer container.

a. In the Quantity field, edit the prompted value if you do not want to stuff the entire cargo lot quantity in the unit.

If you select multiple cargo lots in the list view, N4 does not display the Quantity field. The entire quantity of
all the selected cargo lots is stuffed into the selected container.

a. Select the Direct Stuff check box to perform a stuff operation directly from a truck into a container.
b. Select the Truck Complete check box to move the truck to the next stage after the stuff operation.
c. Click Save.
When you successfully stuff the entire quantity of a cargo lot into the specified container, N4:

• In the Units view:

▪ Retires the B-Bulk unit and sets the Cargo Quantity = 0.
▪ Records the CARGO_STUFF event for the B-Bulk unit.
You can use the Unit Inspector History, Events tab or the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 101) History,
Events tab to view the details of the event.
▪ If the Freight Kind of the selected container unit is Empty, N4 retires the unit and creates a new unit with Freight
Kind = FCL.

If you select multiple cargo lots in the Cargo Lots view and the cargo lots are associated with multiple
bills of lading, the Freight Kind of the new unit is LCL. If the selected cargo lots are associated with the
same bill of lading, the Freight Kind of the new unit is FCL.

▪ If the Freight Kind of the selected unit is FCL or LCL, N4 does not retire the unit.
▪ Adds the cargo lot Quantity to the Cargo Quantity of the container unit.
▪ Records the UNIT_STUFF event for the container unit.

For the Cargo Stuff action, N4 records a CARGO_STUFF event each time you stuff a partial or full quantity

Part 3: Cargo Management Cargo Lots view
Cargo Stuff form

to a unit. However, it records the UNIT_STUFF action only once when you stuff the first cargo lot into the
unit.

• In the Cargo Lots view:

▪ Sets the Lot Type of the cargo lot as Container.
▪ Associates the new unit with the cargo lot in the Unit Nbr field.
▪ Updates the position of the cargo lot to match the Position of the new FCL container in the Yard.
▪ If you specified a service order in the Cargo Stuff form, N4 also updates the status of the service order after
successfully completing the stuff action.

Holds/Permissions for Strip and Stuff actions

N4 provides a Groovy hook with the Strip and Stuff actions for a cargo lot to enable you to control which holds/
permission are transferred as part of the operation.

The following code sample represents the Groovy plug-in that you can edit to specify which holds/permission are
transferred as part of the Strip and Stuff actions. This example transfers the CARGO_UNLOAD hold as part of the
Strip or Stuff action:

import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.Collection;
import java.util.List;
import com.navis.apex.business.model.GroovyInjectionBase;
import com.navis.cargo.business.model.CargoLot;
import com.navis.inventory.business.units.Unit;
import com.navis.services.business.rules.Flag;
import com.navis.services.business.rules.FlagType;
class CustomHoldTypeListForTransferGroovyImpl extends GroovyInjectionBase {
public List<String> getHoldTypeList(Unit inFromUnit, Unit inToUnit) {
List<String> returnHoldTypeIds = new ArrayList();
log("From Unit:"+inFromUnit.getUnitId()) ;
log("To Unit:"+inToUnit.getUnitId()) ;
Collection flags = FlagType.findActiveFlagsOnEntity(inFromUnit);
for (Object flagObj : flags) {
Flag flag = (Flag) flagObj;
//You can add the list of all holds/permissions that you want to
//move as part of the Strip and Stuff actions.
if (flag.getFlagFlagType().getId().equals("CARGO_UNLOAD")){
returnHoldTypeIds.add(flag.getFlagFlagType().getId()) ;
}
}
return returnHoldTypeIds;
}
}
If the selected cargo lot has other holds/permissions associated with it, N4 does not transfer those as part of the Strip
and Stuff actions. It transfers only the holds/permissions specified in the Groovy plug-in.

The Groovy class name and method signature must match exactly with that specified in the example above.

You can use this Groovy plug-in to transfer different holds for the Strip and the Stuff actions, if required. N4 uses the
inFromUnit and inToUnit variables to determine the Freight Kind of the units. If the inFromUnit represents a
containerized unit and inToUnit represents a break-bulk unit, then it is the Strip action. If the condition is reversed, it
is the Stuff action.

You can use the Cargo Strip form to strip cargo from a unit, either entirely or partially, and create break-bulk unit(s) in
the yard. You can also use service orders (on page 121) to create a plan for a container to be stripped. You can strip
multiple cargo lots from a single container or multiple containers.

Prerequisites for stripping cargo from a container:

• An Import bill of lading (on page 59).
• A bill of lading item (on page 66) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
• A unit in the yard (Units view).

To strip cargo from a unit:

1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the cargo lot(s) that you want to strip from a unit.
The cargo lot must have a cargo unit associated with it and the position of the cargo unit must be in the yard. You
cannot select a default cargo lot to perform the strip action.
2. Select Actions Strip.
3. In the Cargo Strip form:
a. Optionally, in the Service Order Nbr field, enter the ID of the service order for the strip action.
The specified service order must exist in N4. To add a new service order, use the Actions Create Service
Order (on page 121) option.
b. In the Yard Position field, enter a valid yard position where the stripped cargo must be placed.
c. Select the Is Container Empty? check box if you are stripping the entire contents of the unit.
Do not select the check box, if you are only partially stripping the container. N4 displays an error if you select the
check box but enter a value in the Quantity field that is less than the available cargo lot quantity.
d. In the Quantity field, edit the prompted value if you do not want to strip the entire cargo lot quantity from the unit.
If you select multiple cargo lots in the list view, N4 does not display the Quantity field. The entire quantity of all
the selected cargo lots is stripped and placed at the specified yard location.
e. Click Save.
The following table displays the changes that occur as part of the strip action:

In addition, when you successfully strip a cargo lot from the specified container to a location in the yard, N4:

• Updates the Cargo Quantity of the B-Bulk unit as follows:

Cargo Quantity = Cargo Quantity + Quantity
If you strip the entire Quantity from a cargo lot, N4 no longer displays the cargo lot in the Cargo Lots view.
You can view the cargo lot where Quantity = 0 only from the Cargo Lots tab (on page 70) in the Bill of
Lading Inspector (on page 74) of the associated BL.

• Records the CARGO_STRIP event for the B-Bulk unit.

For the B-Bulk unit, you can use the Unit Inspector History, Events tab or the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page
101) History, Events tab to view the details of the event.
• Reduces the Quantity of the original cargo lot by the stripped quantity.
• Copies the Agent information from the bill of lading to the cargo lot.
• Copies the Deliver Order Number, if present, from the original cargo lot to the new cargo lot.
• Records the UNIT_STRIP event if all the cargo has been stripped from the unit.
For the B-Bulk unit, you can use the Unit Inspector History, Events tab to view the details of the event.
For the Cargo Strip action, N4 records a CARGO_STRIP event each time you strip a partial or full quantity
from a unit. However, it records the UNIT_STRIP action only once after the entire cargo is stripped from the
unit.

If you specified a service order in the Cargo Strip form, N4 also updates the status of the service order after
successfully completing the strip action.

If the selected cargo lot has other holds/permissions associated with it, N4 does not transfer those as part of the Strip
and Stuff actions. It transfers only the holds/permissions specified in the Groovy plug-in.

The Groovy class name and method signature must match exactly with that specified in the example above.

You can use this Groovy plug-in to transfer different holds for the Strip and the Stuff actions, if required. N4 uses the
inFromUnit and inToUnit variables to determine the Freight Kind of the units. If the inFromUnit represents a
containerized unit and inToUnit represents a break-bulk unit, then it is the Strip action. If the condition is reversed, it
is the Stuff action.

In N4, you can use the Cargo Van form to load a cargo lot from a valid yard position onto a truck. You can load cargo
lots from multiple yard locations or from a single yard location. N4 assigns a valid yard position and creates a unit for a
cargo lot when you perform any of the following actions:

• Receive the break-bulk unit through the gate.

• Unload a cargo lot from an inbound carrier.
• Identify the cargo lot.
• Manufacture cargo at the facility.

If you use the Cargo Van form to load a cargo lot, N4 does not create a gate transaction for the load. To
create a gate transaction and save all the details, you must configure and use the Deliver Break-Bulk Cargo
process for your site.

Prerequisites for loading a cargo lot onto a truck

• An active truck visit.
The truck visit must not be in the Complete state.
• A delivery order (on page 85) or a bill of lading (on page 59).
When you create a Deliver Break-Bulk (DB) gate transaction with only a delivery order and no bill of lading, N4 can
use the delivery order to identify the gate transactions associated with the truck visit and then check to see if the
delivery order has a BL that matches the BL of the cargo lot. If it finds a match, N4 uses that gate transaction to
complete the Truck Load action.
If you use delivery orders for Deliver Break-Bulk (DB) gate transactions, N4 updates the Order Status when the
truck visit and the associated gate transaction are completed. However, if the delivery order is created without cargo
lot details, the Order Status remains New. N4 updates the Order Status based on the Cargo Delivery Order Item
field. Therefore, in your gate configuration, you must include the Cargo Delivery Order Item field for the Deliver
Break-Bulk (DB) gate transaction at the ingate stage.
• A bill of lading item (on page 66) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
• A cargo lot with a valid yard position.

To load selected cargo lot(s) on to a truck:

1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the cargo lot(s) that you want to load onto the truck. The selected cargo
lot must not be a default cargo lot.
2. Select Actions Load Load Truck.
3. In the Cargo Van form:

3.3.14 Manifest Cargo

You can manifest cargo to provide and update relevant information for inbound cargo, enabling N4 to efficiently and
accurately record the cargo details. When you manifest cargo accurately, you provide the terminal as much information
as possible prior to the arrival of the cargo. This reduces the time it takes to receive and process inbound cargo, thus
increasing the terminal capacity and throughput.

You can manifest cargo to a carrier, such as a vessel or a rail, or you can manifest cargo to a container. You can
manifest a cargo lot using the Actions menu from the:

• Cargo Lots view (on page 96)

• Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 74) Items tab Bill of Lading Item form (on page 66) Cargo Lots tab
• Unit Inspector Cargo Lots tab
• Vessel Inspector Cargo Lots tab
• Train Inspector Cargo on Board tab
• Railcar Visit Inspector Cargo on Board tab
In addition, you can manifest cargo lots using SNX. The <position> element, which is a child element of the <cargo-lot>

element, represents the position of the cargo lot. N4 manifests the cargo lot based on the <cargo-lot> element and the
<position> element.

When you:

• Manifest Cargo to Container (on page 131): You indicate that the cargo lot is inside a container. In this case, N4
does not create a new unit, instead it associates the cargo lot with the existing unit ID. You can then strip the cargo
lot from the unit.
• Manifest Cargo to Vessel (on page 132): You associate the cargo lot with a vessel visit and indicate that the cargo
lot is on board a vessel at the specified position. In this case, N4 creates a new unit on board the vessel at the
specified position. You can then unload the unit from the vessel.
• Manifest Cargo to Rail (on page 134): You associate the cargo lot with a train visit (or a railcar visit) and indicate
that the cargo lot is on board a train at the specified position or railcar ID. In this case, N4 creates a new unit on
board the train. You can then unload the unit from the train.

Manifest Cargo

You can use the Cargo Manifest to Vessel form to manifest selected cargo lot(s) to a vessel visit. Manifesting a cargo
lot to a vessel visit indicates that the cargo lot is on board the vessel. In this case, N4 creates a new Break-bulk unit
with the position on board the vessel. However, if there is already an existing cargo lot at the target position, N4 does
not create a new unit, it only adds the Quantity to the existing cargo lot and unit. You can then perform other cargo
related actions on the unit, such as unload it from the vessel (on page 123).

Prerequisites for manifesting cargo lot(s) to a vessel

• A vessel visit in the Created, Inbound, Arrived, or Working phase.
• A bill of lading (on page 59).
• A bill of lading item (on page 66) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
• A default cargo lot.

To manifest selected cargo lot(s) to a vessel:

1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the default cargo lot(s) that you want to manifest to a vessel.
You can also use the paths specified for the Bill of Lading Inspector (on page 74), Bill of Lading form (on page
62), or the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 101) at the top of this topic.
2. Select the Actions Manifest Manifest Vessel option.
3. In the Cargo Manifest To Vessel form:
a. From the Vessel Visit Id field, select the vessel visit to which you want to manifest the cargo lot.
b. In the Vessel Slot field, enter the position on the vessel where you want to manifest the cargo lot. You can enter
a maximum of 16 characters.
c. If you do not want to manifest the entire quantity, edit the value displayed in the Quantity field, accordingly.
For a default cargo lot, N4 allows you to enter a value that is greater than the value displayed in the Quantity
field. In this case, the default cargo lot Quantity is updated to a negative value after you successfully manifest
the cargo lot.
However, the Quantity field does not display for an Identified cargo lot. For more information on identifying a
cargo lot, see Identified Lots tab (on page 71).
d. Click Save.
If successful, N4:

• Creates a new cargo lot, where:

▪ Position = Position on the vessel.
▪ Qty = Quantity specified in the Cargo Manifest To Vessel form.
• Reduces the Quantity of the default cargo lot by the manifested Quantity above.

If the remaining Quantity for the default cargo lot is zero, the cargo lot is fully manifested and it no longer
displays in the Cargo Lots view.

• Creates a new Break-Bulk unit in the Units view and:

▪ Sets the Cargo Quantity = Quantity specified in the Cargo Manifest To Vessel form.
▪ Sets the Position = Position on the vessel.
▪ Displays the cargo lot in the Cargo Lots tab in the Unit Inspector.
▪ Displays the cargo lots in the Cargo Lots tab in the Vessel Inspector.

Some terminals have manufacturing or assembly operations as part of the complex. In such cases cargo does not
come from the outside; instead, it is manufactured in the yard. N4 enables you to create cargo lots for cargo that is
manufactured at the facility. When you manufacture cargo in N4, you can assign a valid yard position to the cargo lot.
This unit can then be loaded onto an outbound carrier to leave the facility.

For example, a bill of lading lists an order for a customer for five rolls of steel. When you produce the rolls, you can use
N4 to create a cargo lot for the rolls and assign a yard position so that you can load the cargo on to a vessel. The yard
position can represent the end of a manufacturing or assembly line where you collect the finished goods before they
are shipped.

Prerequisites for manufacturing cargo

• A vessel visit in the Working phase.
• An Export bill of lading (on page 59).
• A bill of lading item (on page 66) for bulk or non-bulk cargo.
• A default cargo lot (added when you save the BL item).

Adjust Cargo Lot Quantity form

To manufacture cargo:
1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the default cargo lot(s) or the identified cargo lot(s) that you want to
manufacture.
If you select multiple cargo lots and any of the selected cargo lots is already associated with a unit, N4 displays an
error message.
2. Select Actions Other Manufacture Cargo.
3. In the Manufacture Cargo form:
a. Enter a valid Yard Position.
If you enter a yard position where you previously manufactured cargo (a unit already exists at that yard position),
N4 does not create a new unit record, instead it updates the existing unit to reflect the change in the quantity and
also records another CARGO_MANUFACTURED event against the Unit.
b. If you do not want to manufacture the entire cargo lot, edit the value in the Quantity field to specify the quantity
that you want to manufacture at the specified yard position.
However, the Quantity field does not display if you select multiple cargo lots in the list view or if you select an
identified cargo lot.
When the value specified in the Quantity field is less than the cargo lot quantity, N4 creates a new cargo lot
record with the specified quantity and reduces the same amount from the quantity for the selected cargo lot.
For example, if the quantity for the default cargo lot is 100, but you enter 60 in the Quantity field in the
Manufacture Cargo form, N4 creates the cargo lot and the unit record with Quantity = 60 and sets the Quantity
of the default cargo lot as 40.
c. Click Save.
When you successfully manufacture cargo at the specified yard position, N4:

• Updates the default cargo lot record in the Cargo Lots view with:
▪ Unit Nbr = Unit Nbr of the new unit created in the Units view.
▪ Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).
▪ Position = Yard Position specified in the Manufacture Cargo form.
▪ Lot Type = Yard
▪ Lot Position = Yard Position specified in the Manufacture Cargo form.
• Creates a new unit in the Units view with:
▪ T-state = Yard
▪ Position = Yard Position specified in the Manufacture Cargo form.
▪ Cargo Quantity = Total quantity of the selected cargo lot(s).

If you select identified cargo lots in the Cargo Lots view, N4 creates a unit for each of the identified cargo
lots.

• Records the CARGO_MANUFACTURED event against the Unit and the Cargo Lot records.

You can use the Adjust Cargo Lot Quantity form to record a discrepancy if you notice that the actual Quantity for the
cargo lot does not match the Quantity in N4.

You cannot adjust the quantity of a default cargo lot or a retired cargo lot.

To adjust cargo lot quantity:

1. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96), select the cargo lot for which you want to record the discrepancy.
2. Select the Actions Other Adjust Cargo Lot Quantity option. If you select multiple cargo lots in the list view,
N4 disables this option.
3. In the Adjust Cargo Lot Quantity form:
a. In the New Quantity field, edit the value to represent the actual quantity for the cargo lot. You cannot enter a
value greater than the Quantity for default cargo lot.
b. In the Adjust Quantity Note field, enter a brief note describing the discrepancy.
c. Click Save.
If successful, N4:

• Records the DISCREPANCY_NOTED event for the cargo lot.

You can view the event details from the History, Events tab in the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 101).
• Updates the Default Cargo Lot Quantity = BL Item Quantity - Adjusted Qty
• Updates the Discrepancy = New Quantity - Original Quantity
You can view the Discrepancy field in the Status area in the Cargo Lot Inspector.
For example, if the BL Item Quantity is 120, Default Cargo Lot Qty is 90, and the manifested Quantity for one Cargo Lot
is 30. If you adjust the manifested cargo lot Quantity, and set it as 20, N4 sets the:

Default Cargo Lot Quantity = 120 - 20 = 100

Discrepancy = 20 - 30 = -10

A positive Discrepancy value indicates surplus while a negative Discrepancy value indicates shortage.

If you adjust the cargo lot Quantity to zero, N4 hides the cargo lot record from the Cargo Lots view and
Retires the unit record in the Units view.

You can use the Cargo Transload form to transload cargo lots.

You cannot use the Transload action from the Units view to transload the contents of a unit that contains cargo
lots. To transload cargo lots, you must use the Transload action from the Cargo Lots view (on page 96).

When the transload is successful, it results in four units (also referred to as unit facility visits (UFVs)) in N4. The two old
units (source and destination) are Retired and two new units (or UFVs) are created. In addition, N4:

• Records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event(s) to the new full (FCL) unit.

The number of CARGO_TRANSLOAD events recorded is based on the number of cargo lots you transload. For
example, if you transload three cargo lots, N4 records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event three times in the Event
History of the new full unit.
• Records the CARGO_TRANSLOAD event to the new Empty unit.
• Does not record any events for the Retired unit.
• Associates the cargo lots and the bill of lading with the new full unit.
• Records the following events:
▪ Retired Full unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_STRIP
▪ New Empty unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_TO_EMPTY and UNIT_TRANSLOAD
▪ Retired Empty unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_STUFF
▪ New Full unit: UNIT_TRANSLOAD_TO_FULL and UNIT_TRANSLOAD
Since N4 generates these additional events for a transload operation, ensure that you configure the billable
events correctly.
• Retains the event history of the source and destination units as part of the event history of the Retired units.

Notes
• You should not add Event Effects to the new events added for the Transload action.

You can also use the Damages form to mark a damaged item as repaired. If you do not select a record in the list view
or select multiple records, N4 disables the Record Damage action.

In N4, when you record damages against a cargo lot, N4 splits the cargo lot and creates a new cargo lot for the
damaged items. This segregates the damaged cargo from the undamaged items.

For example, a cargo lot has 11 barrels and you record damages with quantity, three. N4 splits the cargo lot into two,
the original cargo lot is updated with quantity = 8, and a new cargo lot is created at the same position with quantity = 3.
Now you can track and move the damaged and undamaged items separately.

If the cargo lot position already has other damaged items, N4 combines any new damages recorded for the same
cargo lot if the bill of lading item (commodity, product type, and packaging) and the damage type of the damage record
is the same.

When you record a damage for a cargo lot, N4:

• Creates separate cargo lots at the same location for the same BL Item if the set of damages associated with the
cargo lot are different.
• Retains the cargo lot damages when you move a cargo lot.
• Validates the Damage Quantity entered when recording damages and then splits the cargo lot.
• Combines damaged cargo lots at the same location if the BL Item and the Damage Type is the same.
If you merge two cargo lots with the same damage type but different severity, the damage severity of the target
cargo lot overrides the damage severity of the merged cargo lot.
• For Identified cargo lots, you can record damages even before you manifest the cargo lot. When you later manifest
the cargo lot, N4 simply updates the position of the Identified cargo lot without changing the Damage information.
The Damages tab (on page 105) in the Cargo Lot Inspector (on page 101) displays the damages recorded against
the selected cargo lot. In addition, if you record a major damage for a cargo lot, N4 displays the damaged icon in the
Cargo Lot Inspector.

You cannot record damages against the default cargo lot.

Cargo Damage Examples

The following examples illustrate some of the behavior related to cargo damages:

Example 1: A new Damage Lot is created.

• Lot 123-1 has Quantity = 7 and is in position X.
• You record a Damage (e.g Leaking) with Quantity = 3.
• N4 creates a new lot 123-2 with Quantity 3 and Damage Type = Leaking at position X.
• N4 reduces the Quantity of lot 123-1 to 4.

Example 2: You record additional damages to the Damaged Lot.

• Lot 123-2 has Quantity 3 and Damage Type = Leaking and is at position X.
• You record another damage (e.g. torn) with Quantity = 2.
• N4 creates a new lot 123-3 with Quantity = 2 and Damage Type = Leaking and Torn at position X.
• N4 reduces the Quantity of Lot 123-2 to 1.

Example 3: You move a part of the damaged lot to a new location.

• Lot 123-2 has Quantity 3 and Damage Type = Leaking and is at position X.
• You move Quantity = 2 to position Y.
• N4 creates a new lot 123-3 with Quantity = 2 and Damage Type = Leaking at position Y.
• N4 reduces the Quantity of lot 123-2 at position X to 1.

Example 4: You move a part of the damaged lot to a new location.

• Lot 123-2 has Quantity 3 and Damage Type = Leaking and is at position X.
• You move Quantity = 2 to position Y.
• N4 creates a new lot 123-3 with Quantity = 2 and Damage Type = Leaking at position Y.
• N4 reduces the Quantity of lot 123-2 at position X to 1.
• You move the remaining Quantity (1) of Lot 123-2 to position Y.

Associate/Disassociate a non-archetype commodity with/from the archetype commodity

5.1.1 Associate/Disassociate a non-archetype commodity

with/from the archetype commodity
Associate non-archetype commodity with the archetype
In order to optimize the usage of enormous amount of commodities created in N4, you can associate the non-
archetype commodities with the master archetype commodities. You can reference one or more non-archetype
commodity(s) with the archetype commodity(s). For better performance, N4 sends only the master archetype
commodities to XPS during startup of the application. If you add an Arch Commodity after XPS start-up, N4 sends this
update to XPS only after you apply one of the subordinate commodities to a container, which in turn refers to the newly
created Arch Commodity.

In N4 you can associate non-archetype commodities using Add Commodity form (on page 18) or Assign Archetype
Commodity form (on page 22) only if there exists an archetype commodity in the current scope level. You can create
an commodity using the Add Commodity form and select the Is Archetype check box to make it an archetype
commodity. You can also edit a non-archetype commodity and make it an archetype by selecting the Is Archetype
check box. N4 lists all the archetype commodities created for the current scope in the Archetype drop-down list in the
Add Commodity form. However, for an archetype commodity, the Archetype drop-down list appears grayed out.

Non-admin users should have the CARGO_EDIT (on page 51) privilege to work with the archetype functionality.

To associate using Add Commodity form:

1. Create or edit a non-archetype commodity code with relevant attributes in the Add Commodity form.
2. For the non-archetype commodity, select a archetype commodity from the Archetype drop-down list.
To associate one or more non-archetype commodities, use the following procedure.

To associate using Assign Archetype Commodity form:

1. Create/edit one or more non-archetype commodity codes with relevant attributes in the Add Commodity form.
2. Select one or more non-archetype commodities, and open Assign Archetype Commodity form from the Actions
menu. You can also right click the on the selected commodities to open the Assign Archetype Commodity form.
When you select only one non-archetype, N4 allows you to select the master from the drop-down list. But when you
select more than one, you have to enable the drop-down list by selecting the Archetype check box.
3. Select an archetype commodity from the Archetype drop-down field.
N4 associates the non-archetype commodity with the archetype commodity and displays the corresponding
Commodity ID in the Arch field in the Commodities view (on page 17). However, when you try to assign an
archetype commodity to a master (archetype) commodity itself, N4 ignores this action and does not raise any warning
or error.

Dis-associate non-archetype commodity from the archetype

When you want to remove the associations of one or more non archetype commodity, you should select the
commodities and select the Remove Commodity Archetype option from the Actions menu. N4 prompts with a pop-
up window with Yes and No options where you have to select Yes to remove the associations. When you try to remove
an archetype commodity of a master (archetype) commodity itself, N4 ignores this action and does not raise any
warning or error. Whenever you remove the associations, N4 sends the updates to XPS.

Cancel a break-bulk gate transaction

5.1.2 Cancel a break-bulk gate transaction

N4 allows you to cancel the completed gate transaction.

To cancel the gate transaction:

1. In the Gate Transactions view, select the required gate transaction and select Actions Cancel Truck
Transaction.
N4 prompts you to confirm the cancelation. However, if you use cancel reason codes or if at least one of the
selected gate transaction(s) is a delivery gate transaction with a handled time, the Cancel Truck Transaction form
appears.
2. Select a code from the Cancel Reasons drop-down list. If you selected more than one gate transaction, N4 applies
the same selected code to all of the selected gate transactions.
3. Clicking Yes cancels the truck transaction.
After canceling the truck transaction:

N4 resets the Quantity of the selected cargo lot to what it was before creating the gate transaction. In addition, it
purges the cargo units created as part of the gate transaction.

• The Status column is updated as CANCEL in the Gate Transactions view

• The T-State column is updated as yard in the Cargo Lots and Units views.

• Records the following event against the Unit record:

▪ UNIT_BRING_BACK_INTO_YARD

5.1.3 Configure Holds/Permissions to prevent break-bulk

cargo events from being recorded
N4 allows you to configure holds/permissions for the cargo unit associated with a cargo lot to prevent move actions,
such as load and unload, to be performed on a cargo lot. In addition, when you move cargo lots from one location to
another, either entirely or partially, N4 also transfers the holds/permissions to the new location. For more information,
see Transferring Cargo Holds/Permissions (on page 109) in the online help or on the NCC.

Configure Holds/Permissions to prevent break-bulk cargo events from being recorded

Since most of the cargo Actions record events against the associated cargo unit, you must create the Holds/
Permissions for the Unit entity and not the Cargo Lot entity.

You can use the History, Events tab in the Unit Inspector of the unit associated with a cargo lot to view the events
recorded for the Unit entity. For a complete list of cargo-related events, see Cargo Holds/Permissions (on page 108).

To configure holds/permissions for cargo events:

1. Use the Hold/Permission Type form to add a hold/permission for the Unit entity.

Number>.

5.1.4 Configure PIN related business tasks for break-bulk

cargo
N4 provides three PIN related business tasks that you can configure for the Deliver Break-Bulk (DB) gate transaction
type. You can use these business tasks to reject gate transactions based on the PIN associated with the Delivery
Order, bill of lading, and the gate transaction.

Extend Cargo features in N4 Mobile

5.1.6 Extend Cargo features in N4 Mobile

To extend Cargo features in N4 Mobile, you can customize the RdtCustomGroovyImpl.groovy Groovy Plugin. See the
N4 SDK for more information.

5.1.7 Prevent delivering a cargo quantity greater than

what's specified in the cargo delivery order
When using N4 Mobile Cargo to load cargo on a truck, by default you're able to specify a cargo quantity that's greater
than what's specified in the cargo delivery order. This occurs either when selecting Cargo inventory Truck Load or
Cargo Lots Right click on the Cargo Lot Load Load Truck.

To prevent a N4 Mobile Cargo user from completing a gate transaction if they enter a quantity that is more than what is
specified in the cargo delivery order, include the RejectCargoRequestedNotFound business task in your Deliver
Break-Bulk (DB) gate transaction configuration.

5.1.8 Prevent users logged in at one facility from viewing

cargo lots for another facility in the complex
The Cargo Lots view (on page 96) displays all the cargo lots that exist in N4 and fall within the Horizon (days).
However, you can prevent the users logged in at one facility from viewing the cargo lots for another facility in the
complex.

To prevent users logged in at one facility from viewing cargo lots that exist at other facilities within the
complex:
1. In the Roles view, create a new role or edit an existing role to include the Cargo Lot - Deny Unfiltered view
(CARGO_LOT_DENY_UNFILTERED_VIEW) privilege.

This privilege is applicable only if the user has at least the Cargo Lot - View privilege to access the Cargo
Lots view.

2. In the Users view, assign the role that you created/edited in step 1 to the users who should not have the permission
to view the cargo lots for other facilities.
3. In the Cargo Lots view (on page 96):
a. Define a filter that restricts the records displayed in the list view based on the Inbound BL Item Vessel Visit
Facility field.
b. Save the filter and associate the user role (created/edited in step 1), for which you want to restrict the access,
with the saved filter. For more information, see Saving the list view as a filter in Navis N4: Basics.
Now, when users with the new role log into N4, they can view only the cargo lots filtered by the facility at which they are
logged in. In addition, they cannot see the following options in the Saved Filter menu in the Cargo Lots view:

• Save table view as filter

• Delete current filter

Prevent getting same bill of lading (BL) in the same Complex

5.1.9 Prevent getting same bill of lading (BL) in the same

Complex
Problem:

Customer has multiple facilities in the same complex. Data for a transshipment container arrives at Facility A through a
BAPLIE and COPRAR-d with BL 12345. However, customer receives error saying that BL does not match the vessel
visit because the BL is already in N4.

Solution:

Set CGOCargoValidation004 (MATCH_BL_UNIT_CARRIER_VISIT) (on page 40) to false at the Complex scope
level. This will prevent N4 from validating the carrier visit for the unit against the carrier visit for the BL.

5.1.10 Print barcode labels for the cargo arriving by truck

You can use the existing gate ticket printing mechanism to print barcode labels for the cargo arriving at the terminal by
truck. N4 provides a sample XSL file that you can edit and import into a document type for printing barcode labels.

The XSL can only be used with postscript printers. For non-postscript printers, you must consult the printer
manual and edit the XSL accordingly.

To set up the printer and document type:

1. Use the Printers view Printer form to configure a postscript printer.
2. Use the Consoles view Console form to associate the printer with the appropriate console.
3. Use the Documents view Document form to create a new document type and import the barcode XSL.
4. Include the CreateDocument and the PrintDocument business tasks with the proper document types at the
appropriate gate stages for the Receive Break-Bulk (RB) gate transaction type.
When a user saves a Receive Break-Bulk (RB) gate transaction at the gate, the user gets the option of printing the
barcode label for the cargo arriving by the truck.

5.1.11 Process identified cargo lots using Gate API

If you want to process the identified cargo lots for the Receive Breakbulk transaction, you can use the submit-
transaction (pickup/appointment) Gate API available under the Argoservice Tester view. You must add the unit-id field
to the submit-transaction API to identify the cargo lots from N4.

Record a Billable Event Type for a Cargo Lot

5.1.12 Record a Billable Event Type for a Cargo Lot

Although N4 allows you to record service events for a cargo lot, these events are only for informational purposes. To
record billable events for cargo lots, you must use the B-Bulk unit associated with the cargo lot.

To define a billable event type for a cargo lot:

1. Enter an Id that uniquely identifies the event type.
2. Optionally, enter a brief Description of the event type.
3. From the Applies To drop-down list select Unit as the target entity for the event.
4. Select the Billable check box.
5. From the Functional Area lookup list, select Applicable to Cargo module.

6. Click Save.

If you select CargoLot from the Applies To drop-down list, the Billable check box is not applicable.
Although N4 does not display any error message, you cannot directly extract this event or include it in an
invoice.

To record a service event for a cargo lot:

1. In the Cargo Lots view, select the cargo lot for which you want to record the service event.
2. Select the Actions Record Service Event option.

3. In the Record Service Event form:

a. From the Event Type ID drop-down list, select the event type that you added.
The drop-down list displays all the event types, where either the Applies To field is set to CargoLot or the
Functional Area is set to Applicable to Cargo module.
b. Enter other applicable information, such as the Service Order Number, Quantity, and Quantity Unit, if
applicable.
c. Click OK.
If the selected unit applies to unit, N4 records the service event against the B-Bulk unit associated with the selected
cargo lot. You can view these events in the Unit Inspector History, Events tab for the unit. If the event type is
billable, from the Units view you can use the Query Charges action or extract the events to the Chargeable Units
Events view and use them to generate cargo-related invoices.

5.1.13 Set up Inbound Cargo EDI Messages

The Inbound EDI support for cargo focuses on the creation of cargo data using the BL, BL Item, and Cargo Lot
information. This information is further refined when you manifest, manufacture, or receive cargo at the gate. During
this process, a cargo lot is associated with a Unit and you can use the Unit to track cargo and to perform cargo
operations, such as load, unload, stuff, and strip.

You can set up the Inbound EDI message CUSCAR D 95B (Customs Cargo Report) to create and update cargo data,
such as BL, BL Item, and default cargo lots. As updates to the BL occur, N4 adjusts the BL Item quantity and the
associated default cargo lot.

In the EDI Session form, when you select Manifest as the EDI Message class, N4 enables the Extract button and the
Filter Criteria area on the form.

The Inbound EDI messages follow the current N4 method of Receive Load Classify Map Post.

Process a CUSCAR message

When you receive a CUSCAR message, N4 processes it as follows:

1. Finds or creates BL using the BL Number in the CNI segment.

2. For a given BL, finds and creates BL Items using the Item Number in the GID segment. For each BL Item, N4 also
creates a corresponding default Cargo Lot.
3. If the CUSCAR message contains information about a container in the SGP segment, N4 manifests the default
Cargo Lot to the container.
4. Uses the equipment details available in the CUSCAR message to update an existing unit or create a new unit.

commodities
In N4, you can:

• Create an EDI session where the Message Type = Manifest, Direction = Send, and the File Extension = XML. You
must also define filter criteria to specify the bills of lading to be included in the EDI message.
You can use the following fields to define the filter criteria:
▪ Agent
▪ BL Number
▪ Bond Trucking Company
▪ Bonded Destination
▪ Consignee
▪ Exam Status
▪ Inbond status
▪ Line operator
▪ Manifest Seq Number
▪ Port of Discharge
▪ Port of Load
▪ Second Port of Discharge
▪ Shipper
▪ Vessel Visit
▪ Vessel Visit Phase
• Schedule the EDI session as an EDI Job.
The Outbound EDI messages follow the current N4 method of Select Extract Map Unload Send.

5.1.15 Merge or move the Bill of Lading (BL) items when

you re-consign one BL to another BL with identical
commodities
You can use the CGORECONSIGN001 (ON_RECONSIGN) (on page 40) setting to determine whether to merge or
move the Bill of Lading (BL) items when you re-consign one BL to another BL with identical commodities.

By default, N4 merges the BL items if you re-consign one BL to another BL with matching commodity.

If you override this setting, N4 moves the BL items from one BL to the other BL with matching commodity.
