Make document status part of the handover.
Search the B/L list by document, booking or job reference. Filter draft and final types, then narrow by the available document statuses, including issued and surrendered. This helps a team distinguish the record it needs instead of relying on a filename or a message attachment alone.
Documentation & Operations also brings together tools for truck CMR, arrival notices and CRO. These are separate parts of the shipment workflow: reviewing a Bill of Lading is not the same as reviewing an arrival notice or a container release. Available actions depend on the record and the user’s permissions.
A practical workflow
Locate the document
Start with the B/L, booking or job reference to find the relevant record.
Check type and status
Distinguish a draft from a final document and review its recorded status before continuing.
Coordinate the next step
Use the related arrival and operations workspaces as the shipment progresses.
Keep the B/L handover connected to the booking
A documentation team needs to distinguish the shipment reference from the document’s type and status. In a sample export job, start from the booking, locate the B/L and check whether the record is a draft or final version before coordinating the next action. A recorded status helps the team review the file; it does not replace the checks required by your own process.
Review the starting record in freight booking management. For the next operational handover, explore arrival notices and container operations. These are connected work areas, not interchangeable documents.
