While the previous article How to Add Containers stated our system requires the following:
- Carrier number
- Container number
- BL [optional]
We understand that all 3 values may not be available to you at the time of uploading. Out platform has the ability to support the following input combinations:
Container # | SCAC code | Bill of Lading # | Supported? | Remarks |
✔ | ✔ | ✔ | Yes | *Recommended* |
✔ | ✔ | X | Yes | Risk of identifying incorrect journey |
✔ | X | ✔ | Yes | Input ‘AUTO’ and do not leave SCAC blank |
✔ | X | X | Yes | Input ‘AUTO’ for SCAC and leave BL blank |
X | ✔ | ✔ | Yes | Please use the B/L tracking module API |
X | ✔ | X | No | Unable to track solely using SCAC |
X | X | ✔ | No | Container number is a mandatory input |
Do note:
- For the most accurate results, inputting all 3 values is highly recommended.
- The risk of using 'AUTO' SCAC is that you will be provided with the most recent container journey data - which may not be the journey that matches the Master Bill of Lading
- If you do not have the Master Bill of Lading, please leave this field blank
