Create and print an HB/L
Introduction
A House Bill of Lading (HBL) serves as a receipt issued by a freight forwarder or a non-vessel operating company (NVOCC) to the shipper, acknowledging the receipt of their items intended for shipment. Essentially, it functions as a document that confirms the shipment and receipt of goods.
Conditions
- A route must exist.
- You must have the final cargo details and legal information of the parties involved.

Details for Refrigerated Cargo
What I learned
Most of the fields will auto-fill from the system, but the remaining ones should be filled in manually. Like the MB/L number.
The filled values will be reflected in the description of the cargo and will be displayed in the Bill of Lading document when generated in PDF format.
Temperature is the only mandatory field in the refrigerated details module. The other fields depend on the specific instructions provided by the shipper and the nature of the cargo.
Different types of commodities require different information in the details field.
To modify the type of commodity, right-click on the commodity row and click on the "Edit type commodity" option.
