Dangerous goods during stuffing
Dangerous goods require additional information when cargo is prepared for container transport. In an LCL operation, the forwarding team must know which dangerous goods belong to each container, not only which shipment contains them.
FMS links dangerous-goods information to cargo and split goods lines. During stuffing, configured status processing can update this information using the handling units and containers recorded in the cargo events. This helps keep the operational cargo allocation aligned with the actual stuffing progress.
Record and review the allocation
- Register the dangerous-goods details for the shipment cargo before stuffing.
- Record the relevant handling units on the cargo detail lines.
- Record Stuffed cargo events with the handling-unit number and container identification.
- Run the configured event status processing, then review the dangerous-goods allocation and stuffed quantities for the affected containers.
The update requires a cargo event of type Stuffed, a nonblank container identification, a handling-unit number that identifies a cargo detail, and existing dangerous-goods split-line information for that cargo. An unrelated or incomplete event does not create the missing dangerous-goods declaration.
Configuration hints
- Set up the equipment/cargo event templates and handling-unit identification used in your CFS process.
- Add Update dangerous goods info on equipment cargo event to the relevant equipment/cargo event status flow. This is function 18 in codeunit 71539577, 3PL FMS Status Functions Equip.
- Test both a single-container shipment and cargo distributed across multiple containers. Review partial stuffing as well as completed stuffing.
- Check the related shipment/consolidation information and the configured report output before issuing documents.
Important
Recording or distributing dangerous-goods information in FMS does not establish regulatory compliance, segregation suitability or carrier acceptance. Confirm these separately using your approved dangerous-goods procedures.
