Description

As a Freight Forwarding Agent, I want to manage the splitting of a cargo consignment across multiple containers so that we maintain accurate records with our clients and CFS.

Scenario

1. Request for Quotation (RFQ)
   • The process begins when FFWD receives an RFQ for a 15 mc consignment.
   • The Agent then verify the quotation, add the charges and sends the quotation for approval to the client.
2. Quotation Confirmation
   • The client reviews and confirms the quotation provided by FFWD.
   • Upon confirmation, Freight forwarder creates an File Reference ( LCL) to track this shipment.
3. Creation of House Bill of Lading (HBL)
   • For example: A FFWD has two 30 mc containers available for use: Container A and Container B.
   • FFWD creates an HBL for the 15 mc consignment, assigning it to Container A
4. Loading Plan Submission
   • FFWD creates a loading plan that includes information about multiple HBLs and sends it to CFS for processing.
5. CFS Receives Loading Plan
   • CFS receives the loading plan and begins the stuffing process for both Container A and Container B.
6. Cargo Splitting During Stuffing
   • During the stuffing operation, CFS determines that the 15 mc consignment will be split between the two containers:
     • Container A will hold 7 mc.
     • Container B will hold 8 mc.
7. Export Manifest Preparation
   • After completing the stuffing process, CFS sends an actual loading plan/export manifest back to FFWD, detailing how the cargo has been divided.
8. File Reference Update
   • FFWD agent need to update the original File Reference by splitting the 15 mc HBL into two separate entries:
     • One entry for 7 mc in Container A.
     • Another entry for 8 mc in Container B.
   • The same HBL reference is maintained to ensure consistency in the export manifest.
9. For the multiple Bls, Only 1 Bill of Lading should be issued.
10. Only 1 invoice should be issued for the split Bl
