What the video shows
- Every consignment starts here. The labels in bold identify the mandatory data.
- If mandatory data is missing, the application states exactly what is required.

- A new consignee can also be created without leaving the consignment.
- Search the complete catalogue of dangerous goods by UN number or by name.
- Define the packaging. The application calculates the net quantity per package.
- An N.O.S. entry requires the technical name, and the application does not accept the goods without it.
- Every rejection states the reason: 40 L per inner packaging exceeds the 30 L allowed by Packing Instruction P001.
- With the quantity corrected, the packing instruction is selected automatically.
