Introduction

The AWB editor allows all actions necessary to edit, customize and print house shipments. The editor offers great flexibility; much of the shipment data can be defaulted from the main shipment entry and master data, however these can be over-ridden without changing the data entered in the main shipment entry. The editor allows complete visualization of the HAWB on screen before it is actually printed.
