How to Create a TIR

To create a TIR, select the corresponding container yard. You can view a list of existing yards by right-clicking on the mouse and selecting the yards list option. The number can manually be assigned or the computer will assign it for you, this depends on the setup that you have for the container yard

Then the date and time will default to the current ones, they may be changed if needed. The next field is the movement type or status. In this filed you specify, if the container is being sent out, or being received full. The movements affect the equipment history, every time that a TIR or a Load/Discharge is created. Then the container number needs to be assigned; in this component you can define if you want to assign number first, or prefix first. The system will always check if the container is in inventory, otherwise the system will not allow entering the TIR. The only way that you can bring containers into the system is trough the following statuses: LSD (leased), TRFI (Transfer Full in),or TREI (Transfer Empty In). The system will also check if the movement is a logical movement for the container. The system will not allow something like a SNTE (sent Empty Out) after a container is LODF (Loaded Full). These movements are validated in a container control code validation table

In these cases these leasing information window will pop-up. It is good to have accurate information, so that you can run Leasing reports afterwards.

If you have a booking number for the container, you can assign it in the booking field; it will populate all the information in the rest of the receipt, with job number, ports the Shipper/Forwarder/Consignee/Notify information from booking. If you would like to, you may leave it blank. When a booking is attached, and the job\ports need to be changed, you must go back to the booking and run the Rollover procedure. You can change the job\ports if booking field is blank

If you do not have a booking number, job number, ports and Shipper/Forwarder/Consignee/Notify need to be entered. In either case, the Trucking information needs to be populated afterwards, including the Drayage receipt and amount if applicable.

Then, you will be prompted to destination of the equipment. Based on the entered information, the program gives a list of options for the user to define the actual location of the container

Just select the desired one and click OK. This information may be changed if needed by clicking on the Change Destination button.
