Steps

Viewing Booked versus Received Goods

Note

Booked Goods are the goods that are specified in the booking to be shipped by the customer.

Received Goods are the goods that are actually received at the CFS warehouse. There are more details about the received goods in the Warehouse section of the booking. These details include:

  • Warehouse name, location, date, and time where the goods were received
  • Quantity of packages, DIMS, weight, volume
  • Warehouse receipt #'s, documents, and pictures

If you are using the Logiware CFS module, then the received goods will automatically appear in the booking screen from the CFS system as they are received at the warehouse.

Logiware also has integrations with warehouses operated by Saint George Logistics and warehouses that use the Magaya system. These warehouses can electronically send warehouse receipts to Logiware as goods are received.

At the top of the LCL Goods section, there is a summary of the booked versus received goods:

The summary will display the booked versus received:

  • Quantity of Packages
  • Weight in pounds and kilograms
  • Volume in cubic meters and cubic feet
  • Dead Space in cubuc meters and cubic feet

There is a circle with a percentage that indicates the percentage of the Booked goods that have been received at the warehouse. If the percentage is 50%, it indicates only half of the booked goods have been received. If the percentage is 120%, it indicates the received goods exceeds what was booked by 20%.
