How can I insert shipment references and dimensions into a B/L (bill of lading)?

First, add references and dimensions in the general and goods tabs of the shipment. Then, edit HBL, the B/L instructions or the FIATA B/L.

Insert references & dimensions in the shipment

In an opened shipment, enter a reference (shipper's reference, e.g.).
→This reference will also appear in the references table, and further references can be inserted in the references table.

For the dimensions, go to the goods tab and look for the dimensions section.
Click the New... button and enter the data and confirm with OK.
→The goods are added to the table.

Transfer to the B/L

Use the blue links in the shipment to open the HBL, the B/L Instructions or the FIATA B/L
