1 Bill Of Entry Recovery of lines: This option will allow you to recover saved entries & continue framing them from the point where they were saved. Above is an example of the screen where on the original entry framing the F13 function key was taken to save/interrupt the entry. PLEASE MAKE A CAREFULL NOTE OF NUMBER 3 BELOW: 1) Password: The First step when registering an import file would be to insert your password (This password would be defined by your management and set-up by your compu-clearing consultant) 2) Your Name: Your name & surname would be keyed in here, it will be printed at the bottom of the bill of entry (DA500) in the Declaration block. 3) Your File Name: This is a temporary name that will be assigned to the file (usually the first six characters of your name & surname). The function of this is that if an entry is saved then this file name would be the key to recovering the file when the entry clerk is ready to continue framing the entry. When all the details are captured for this screen press the enter key. Please not that if the file same name is used to frame another entry then the saved file will be deleted & replaced by the new data. Please ensure that when an entry is saved then use another file name if you frame another entry before recovering the saved entry. Once the Correct file name has been captured then press enter a screen will come up showing all the lines of the entry that have been framed. Press enter & continue to frame the entry as normal. Enter the file number that has been registered & enter to start framing the file. If you had selected the F5 Function key to go to framing from registration then the file number would have been inserted for you automatically. Page 1 of 22

All the fields on the above screen will be populated by the data captured from the registration screen. You can now amend the data in the Kilogram, Number of packages, status remarks, description of goods & transport code. The number of packages on this screen refers to the total number of packages inside all containers, for warehousing entries this will be where the number of packages will be captured that will be in the bonded warehouse. PART CLEARANCE: If you select a Y to do a part clearance & enter the following screen will come up.

The packages & kilograms of all part clearances must be captured, the total number of packages & the total kilogram value of the part clearances cannot exceed the values in the kilos & Number of packages fields.
