The instructions sent to the carriers are often coded e.g. the instruction to pick up a full import container from the wharf, delivery to the customer then return the empty to the dehire park may be shortened to ‘WF-CU-MT’
Different Carriers may require different codes so these are stored in the Administration > Customer Masterfile > Carrier Tab > Carrier Codes Mapping Tab for each Carrier that accepts transport instructions by EDI.
Expedient users will see the Job Category Descriptions within the Import Registration screen but the Transport Requests to the carrier will include the Carrier Job Category Codes.
