Creating a PRA (AU)

Once users have completed the Export Job Registration Creation process, and all of the data is saved that you require, users can CREATE & SUBMIT an ELECTRONIC PRE-RECEIVAL ADVICE (PRA) to the relevant Depot (via 1-Stop).

The Export Receival Advice is a detailed paper-based description of a container prepared by an exporter, forwarder, packer, or trucking company. To date the paper ERA has had to accompany the container when it is presented at the gate of a terminal for Export Receival.

Through 1-Stop, Patrick and DP World Terminals are equipped to receive an electronic ERA, known as PRA (Pre-Receival Advice) using the UN/EDIFACT-style IFTERA message. Only one Container is permitted on each IFTERA message:
