Once the Consol and Jobs have been created in Expedient and the subsequent Cargo Reporting House Bills exist, the Consol Screen allows users to validate and submit all House Bills to Customs at one time.
The Customs Cargo Report Information section on the Sea and Air Consol Registration screens provides a quick overview of the latest status with Customs.

Validate All
This option provides the ability to check for any errors in the Cargo Reports before submission to Customs. This option is available from the Consol Sea and Air Registration screens toolbar button
. Expedient will perform the same validation as if you wanted to submit the Cargo Reports straight away.
Submit All House Bills
All House Bills associated with a Consol can be submitted from the Sea Consol Registration screen using the
toolbar button.
Expedient will validate that all the required Customs information is present for all the Cargo Reports. If all information is present all the Cargo Reports will be submitted. If there are any missing details Expedient will display a list of the missing items for each Cargo Report
For example,

Click on the House Bill number to view any listed errors in the pop up screen.
Double click on the House Bill number to open the House Bill in a separate screen to fix the errors.
If a container number is shown in the Commodity ID column of this screen double click on the container number to go straight to the Sea Cargo Commodity screen to fix the error.
When all errors have been fixed use the
again to submit to Customs. Any Cargo Reports that had been unsuccessfully submitted will be re-submitted provided all the mandatory details have been provided.
After Customs confirm successful submission an email from Customs will be sent to the user who last successful submitted the instruction.
