Report types and description
Selection of data
Once you are logged in, the selection page appears on your screen. It is in this page that you specify the information research criteria as well as the type of report you wish to obtain.
The following example of a selection page contains fictive information and will allow you to visualize the various research and report format possibilities. You can also click on the items to get a detailed description for each of them.
Report
This option is mandatory and allows you to choose the report format you wish to obtain. Hence, the presentation of stock information may be detailed by item (dimension, lot, mark, etc.) or still, compiled (by Order, Booking, Vessel, etc.) depending on your choice.
Port
From a list, this option allows you to specify
a particular port. The ports on this list are in relation with your
actual inventories. Therefore, you will only have the name of the
ports storing cargo you have in transit at time of selection.
Note: If you do not specify any port, you will receive a global
report with subtotals per port.
Vessel
This option allows you to obtain a report that includes solely projected cargoes or cargoes from a specific vessel.
Note: If you do not select any port and you have cargo in transit in different ports for the same vessel, you will therefore get subtotals for each port.
Supplier / Receiver
It is possible for you, using this list, to get a report containing only cargoes coming from a specific supplier (Exportation) or cargoes delivered or to be delivered to a specific client (Importation).
Booking
The Booking identifies, by group, the receipt
of cargoes for a vessel. The nomenclature of the booking depends on
the arrangement and stevedoring services to be undertaken agreement.
In general, the first two characters correspond to the port, followed
by a corporate identification and a convenient abbreviation (abbreviation
of the vessel's name or the destination. To the booking, we associate
the exportation or importation code, the transit vessel expected or
used and the type of cargo to be stored (Steel, Granite, Lumber, etc.).
Example of a Booking name: QC-SHIPPER-HELENA
QC = Port of Québec
SHIPPER = Shipper Maritime Company Inc.
HELENA = M/V HELENA OLDENDORF (Name of vessel)
