You can enter and save data about the conveyance equipment pertaining to an invoice or bill. Normally, equipment data is entered only when the vehicle becomes an integral part of the shipment and is accompanied by the placement of cargo seals that protect the integrity of the shipment.

Equipment

The Equipment Prefix (in the U.S., usually a SCAC code) and the Equipment Number (a serial number) uniquely identify each unit of conveyance equipment.

The Description Code identifies the equipment in a commonly accepted code such as EDI (for example, CN for Container). The Ownership Code specifies the type of ownership (for example, 0 for Owner or L for Lease).

The ISO Container Code identifies the size and type of container (for example, dry bulk container), using four-character ISO (International Standards Organization) Sizetype codes. The first and second characters specify the volume of the container, and the third and fourth characters specify the type. ISO compliance is important for companies that conduct business worldwide.

The Owner Identifier identifies the owner of the equipment, not necessarily the carrier, in a commonly accepted code.

Equipment Specs

The equipment specification fields are largely self-explanatory. The Tare Weight is the weight of the conveyance equipment itself (the difference between the gross and net weight) in the selected unit of measure (UOM). The Dunnage field specifies the weight of the loose material or padding used to protect the cargo.

The Vent Setting field uses the following single-letter values: A (vent 25% open), B, (vent 50% open), C (vent 75% open), D (vent 100% open), E (vent closed), and Z (carrier to set vent based on the commodity type).

The Percent Humidity field uses a number from zero to 100 for the required humidity, if applicable.
