eSet LocationStatusDescription
InboxTitle HeldOnce the eBL has been signed and Issued by the Carrier and/or the Agent, the Consignor will receive it with the status of Title Held, meaning the Consignor has title and full control of the eSet and can endorse and transfer it to a bank, a bearer holder, the named consignee on the eBL (if any) or the final buyer of the cargo.
InboxTransfer DraftedWhen transferring title (either to a Bank or endorsing it to the buyer), the platform offers the functionality to draft the transfer and complete it as a 2nd action. This is because users can be given permissions in DocEx to be able to action Drafting, Sign and Send, or both. The status Transfer Drafted refers to an eSet for which a transfer has been drafted and saved. The next action to be taken will be to sign and send the transfer by a user authorized to take such an action.
InboxAmendment RequestedWhen holding title, the user will still be able to request amendments to the eBL by selecting Consignor Recut, Consignor Split and Consigee Recut and Split from the “Other Actions” selection in the inbox. Once the changes have been requested, the Carrier and/or Agent will have to approve or reject the request. Until that moment, the eSet will have the status of Amendment Requested. Once the Carrier and/or Agent and/or Shipper accept the request, a new eBL will be created, signed, and re-issued to the Amendment requester depending on which party generated the request and the old one will be voided and filed in the Filed Folder.
