4 4 Getting Started Guide Fields Forms OAS Freight uses several types of fields to collect data. Each type of field OAS uses several types of standard screens throughout the system. The has certain characteristics which make it unique. most common types are listed below. While the examples we will use are specific examples from the air system, the following forms are used throughout Most fields are simple data entry fields which require that you both the ocean and air system, with identical functionality.. type in the value for that field and do not have any special functions. Shipment Selection Fields followed the by the selection icon are selection fields. Selection fields check the information you key in against a related database. If it The Shipment Selection enables you to load a shipment or create a new one. does not find an exact match, a pop-up selection screen will ask you to select Once a shipment is loaded, you may navigate easily to any part of the shipment from one of the entries in the database. For instance, to select a shipper from (such as request, invoice, status, etc.) the shipper database. The pop-up selection screen will also allow you enter and edit database items. The Shipment Selection screen consists of three sections. Initially, you will only see the buttons on the top left of the screen. Each button has a specific Fields followed bu the drop-down icon are drop-down fields. Drop- function: down fields allow you to select from a list of options.

Some grids require you to select an item from the grid. You may do that by clicking on the item in the grid. Some grids allow you to set the sort order by clicking the field at the top of the column you wish to sort. If you are uncertain of the Shipment Number, you may want to reference by another number (such as Air Waybill, Booking, or Shippers Order Number. If you are uncertain of any numbers, you may search through shipments by entering Shipper Name, Carrier, Airports, etc. Press OK and all shipments matching the filter criteria will be displayed.

5 5 Getting Started Guide Data Entry Data Entry forms may consist of several pages. The title of each page is displayed in the tab at the top of the form. You may change pages by clicking on the tab, or by using the Page-Up or Page-Down keys. At the bottom left side of the form, there is information reminding you of the transaction currently loaded. If only one shipment matches the filter criteria you have entered, the Shipment form will automatically be loaded with the selected shipment If the filter criteria applies to more than one shipment, select the shipment you want to load by double-clicking on the line displaying the shipment. The Shipment form will load with your shipment. * The Quote Selection form is identical to the Shipment Selection form. At the bottom right, there are two rows of buttons. The top row of buttons are used to navigate between different shipment modules. The bottom row of buttons are tool buttons which allow you to print, select another shipment, exit, and attach/detach a shipment to a master bill.

6 6 Getting Started Guide Selection C C Selection forms will be activated: If the icon on the selection field is pressed If a value is entered into a selection field, and there is not an exact match to either the value or the search code entered. You may change the sort order by clicking on the column header (located at the top of the column). To search for an item in the database, enter the value in the search field (at the bottom of the form), and press ENTER. The closest match will be selected. Notice that the system will search the currently selected search field. If you press the Add or Edit button, the Selection Edit form will be loaded. Selection Edit The Selection Edit form allows you to maintain the selection database. This form may be accessed from the Selection form or from the Main Menu->Maintenance->Selection Databases option. Selection forms require that you select from one of the valid choices listed in the grid. The grid displays information from the related selection database. You may add new items or edit existing items on-the-fly by using the Add and Edit buttons on the bottom right. Once you have selected an item, press OK (or double-click on the item) to return to the data entry form. Use the Cancel button if you do not wish to make a selection.

7 7 Getting Started Guide The Selection Edit form is like any other Data Entry form except for the buttons at the bottom of the form. The buttons provide several options for managing the database: C Top Go to the top (first) record. C Previous Go to the previous record. C Next Go to the next record. C Bottom Go to the bottom (last) record. C Print Reports on current record, or on entire database. C Find Loads the Selection form to scan records. C Add Add a new record. C Edit Edit the selected record. C Delete Delete the selected record. C Exit Exit from Selection Edit form. C Save Save changes (only after add or edit). C Revert Do not save changes (only after add or edit). Document Print Pressing the Print button at the bottom of a Data Entry screen (Shipment, Quote, etc.) will display the Document Print form. The documents that are available from the Document Print form depends on which module you access from. For instance, the Invoice is processed (and printed) in the Invoice section of the Shipment module. This is consistent with the overall philosophy of the OAS Freight, which is to process information as the information is gathered, as you normally would in your daily operations. Select the document you want to print from the Print field. The currently selected (default) printer is displayed at the bottom of the form. If you would like to change the printer, the Printer Setup button allows you to choose from any local or network printer or fax. The Print button will print the selected document to the currently selected printer. Notice that you are able to specify the number of copies. Depending on the document you want to print, you may have other print options which will appear in the area on the left of the Print Form. In this example, you may indicate whether the House Bill should print As Agreed, and whether to print on a pre-printed form (or on blank paper with lines printed). Press the Preview button to preview the document on the screen. The EDI button is only available if the EDI functions have been activated and allows you to electronically send messages to your trading partners.

8 8 Getting Started Guide Report Notice the toolbar at the top left of the screen. The navigation buttons allow you to easily navigate through the document pages (if there are multiple pages). The Zoom box allows you to select from a list of Zoom levels, which determine the size the document appears on the page. The door will close the preview screen. The Printer icon sends the document to the currently selected printer. The scroll bars allow you to navigate the page. An easier way to navigate the page is to click on the document, which will display the whole document on the screen. While it may be difficult to read the document when displayed in this manner, you may easily click on the area of the document you wish to view to magnify that area. The Report form is accessed from the Main Menu. It allows you to produce reports specific to the Main Menu option selected. For instance, Quote->Reports enables you to print quotation reports. The Report form provides you with a tremendous amount of reporting flexibility. Specify the report you want from the Report field at the top left. Specify the filter criteria in the section at the top right. The bottom left allows you to determine the sort criteria. Select the Break field next to a sort level to indicate where you wish to have page breaks occur. Check the Totals box for every sort level you wish to generate totals. The Report screen will change depending on the report you select to print. The print option section, at the bottom right, enable you to print, preview, and select the default printer.

9 9 Getting Started Guide Processing Shipments Processing shipments is fundamentally the same for ocean and air. The primary difference in many modules is the wording used, for instance Port, or Airport. The International, Invoice, and Status modules are extremely similar, and produce effectively identical documentation, for both modes of transportation. The Request, Booking, and Master Bill modules are unique to the mode of transportation. These modules reflect the different data entry procedures, EDI requirements, and documents that are produced. The techniques for processing each mode of transportation is discussed below. Processing an Air Shipment The steps required for processing an air shipment are: C Shipment Processes shipper request and information necessary to complete a House Bill. C Air Waybill Processes information to produce the Master Air Waybill. C International Produces International documents. C Invoice Produces customer invoices. C Status Processes shipment status information. Shipment Select the Main Menu->Shipment->Shipment option. The Shipment Selection screen will appear (as previously discussed). Once you have selected a shipment (or created a new one), the Shipment module will appear. The Shipment module gathers information to process a House Bill. The first page is the Request page. The Request page gathers information about the parties involved in the shipment. notice that the forms are modified to streamline the data entry process for a domestic shipment. The second page is the Content page. The Content page gathers information about the commodity being shipped. When entering weight and volume information, you may enter the totals, or you may enter detailed content information and the totals will be generated for you automatically. The content detail totals are displayed in the From Detail column. If you choose not to enter content detail, enter the totals in the column below Actual. (The Actual totals will later be used to calculate the Air Waybill totals.) For this example, we will be processing an international shipment. If we were to select Domestic on the Request page instead of Export, you would

10 10 Getting Started Guide If the totals have been calculated automatically from the content detail, but need to be reported differently (rounding for Letter of Credit, for instance), you may opt to over-ride the calculated total by not selecting (checking) the Pull Detail option. In order to enter the content detail, press the Content Detail button. The Content Detail screen will appear. This area also displays the complete information for the content detail item selected on the grid. You may select an item by clicking on the line of that item. Once all the detail information has been entered, select Exit to return to the Shipment form. Use the Add, Edit, and Delete buttons on the right side of the screen to enter content detail information. The detail is entered (or edited) on the bottom left of the screen.

11 11 Getting Started Guide The third page of the Shipment module (Routing and Rating), which gathers information relating to the service provided to the shipper, the routing of the shipment, and the shipper and carrier rates. ** If you know the Air Waybill number, you may enter in the AWB # field, or by pressing the Attach button at the bottom of the screen. Once an Air Waybill is assigned, the carrier routing area becomes read-only, and the fields reflect the values of the air waybill, and must be edited from the Air Waybill module. The fourth page is the Shipment Charges page. This page will be formatted according to the House Bill that is being issued. The Service area at the top of the page refers to the service provided to the customer. The Routing area in the center of the page refers to the routing used by the carrier. The Rating area at the bottom is used to gather the customer rate information and displays the carriers rate (from the Air Waybill). Since we are issuing a standard IATA House Bill in this example, the screen is formatted for the IATA House Bill.

12 12 Getting Started Guide The fifth page, Instructions, gathers instructions and miscellaneous information. The fields on this page are also formatted depending on the House Waybill.. The Documents available from the Shipment form are: C Alert Used to notify the destination or We have now completed the data entry and we re ready to print the House consignee to expect shipment Bill. Pressing the Print button at the bottom of the screen will display the Print C Domestic House Waybill House Bill used primarily for Options form. domestic shipments.

13 13 Getting Started Guide Master Air Waybill Now that the House Bill has been processed, let s process the Master Air Waybill. To load the Air Waybill form, press the AWB button at the bottom of the page. If you select Consolidate or Copy AWB, you will be prompted with filter criteria and required to select an existing shipment. If you select New, you will be asked to confirm creation of a new Air Waybill. At this point an Air waybill Number has not been assigned. The system automatically assigns a manifest number. Every Air Waybill is assigned a unique Manifest Number. If an Air Waybill has not yet been assigned to the Shipment, you will be prompted with the Air Waybill Selection form. This form is very similiar to the Shipment Selection form. The options are: C New Creates a new Airt Waybill, copies information from the shipment. C Copy AWB Creates a new Air Waybill, copies information from an existing Air Waybill. C Consolidate Selects an existing Air Waybill to consolidate with. C Exit Returns to the previous form. Once you select OK, the Air Waybill form will be loaded.

14 14 Getting Started Guide The fields in the Air Waybill module are formatted just as printed on the Air Waybill, so this module should be easy to understand. The first screen collects information on the parties involved in the shipment. Notice that there are few Selection Fields. The data entry for this module as well as the remaining modules are free form for the most part. This enables you to accommodate Letter of Credit shipments. The second page, Content, gathers information relating to the commodity. Most of the functions are identical to the Content form in the Shipment module. The actual weight and volume displays the sum of the weights and volumes for all attached shipments. On the right side of the form, there is a list of attached Shipments. If you want to go to one of the listed shipments, select the desired shipment (by clicking on the shipment), and press the button of the form you would like to load (from the bottom of the screen).
