Expedient allows users to batch update Jobs to add the Delivery Date. The below screen allows many jobs to be updated at the same time.
The Update Delivery Dates screen can be found in Customs Clearance/Tariff Class and in Sea Export Forwarding.
Delivery Dates can be supplied for Air, LCL and FCL jobs. Individual containers can be selected to provide a Delivery Date using the 
zoom button in the Container column.
