The 1-Stop Vessels information covers both import arrivals and export departure information. See below for the information that is retrieved from 1-Stop
Expedient runs a process to update the Vessels Masterfile from the 1-Stop information.
If a user has corrected an ETA Date for a particular port against the Vessel in the Vessels Masterfile
In the above example the user taniab has changed the ETA for Melbourne from the 1/1/2013 (as reported by 1-Stop, to 03/01/2013 (the correct date).
This date will now be used in the Consol and Job Registration Screen, and the Shipment screen and will continue to use this date instead of the 1-Stop date if that date is different to the 3/1/2013
Users can also manually add a new Port and Estimated Arrival Departure Dates and Times to a Vessel in the Vessels Masterfile (if 1-Stop has not reported it (i.e. Adelaide). This new port and date and time will then be used in the above Ships Process.
