Overview

A temporary AWB is basically a provisional shipment created in order to view the boxes in the Staging Area without having to wait for the cargo agent to provide the AWB number.

Important

Keep in mind that this option is only available for those vendors that you want to activate this feature for. To do so, follow the steps described in the Vendor Options Setup article.

Instructions

Once you have it enabled you can proceed to create temporary AWBs, to do so please follow the steps below.

Considerations

As soon as the Temporary AWB is created the boxes will be available in the Staging Area; from here on, once the actual AWB number is available you will be able to update it.
You must be aware that in order to confirm products from the Staging Area that have been assigned a Temporary AWB number, the Temporary AWB # must be updated with the actual AWB number first.

Important

Notwithstanding the above, the system allows confirming products from the Staging Area even if the AWB is temporary and even printing labels for it. For doing that the setting Allow users to confirm temporary AWBs in the Staging Area screen must be enabled from the Inventory Options.

Once you have the actual AWB number you can edit it from the Staging Area or the Grower >>AWB Summary tab.
It doesn't matter if your search results have different ship dates, the system will create a temporary AWB for each ship date, keeping in mind that any POs with the same ship date will be included in the same temporary AWB.
