Introduction
Air freight exports include master , back-to-back, house shipments and direct shipments. Direct shipments as their name suggests are consigned directly from the sender to the receiver. It may also be a shipment from a sender to a foreign agent with a separate receiver who is generally the notify party. These shipments will be charged according to the official IATA tariff, as a result they are usually expensive but also tend to be the fastest form of air export transport via commercial airlines. In contrast to the other shipment types, a direct shipment requires on a single air waybill (AWB) number.
This application enables all direct shipment operations to be carried out; data entry, billing, printing of documents and calculation of costs and revenues for the shipment.
