This blog gives an overview over the actual data mapping of the two HAWB print forms, after clarifying the customizing and masterdata requirements here:

How to Print HAWB in TM 9.0 - Customizing & Masterdata. It should answer these questions:

  • Which values from the FWO go into which field of the print form?
  • When are the values displayed and when not?
  • What has to be done in order to fill a certain field on the print form?
  • What do I have to do if I don't want to print other charges or if I want to print amounts as "as agreed"?

General remarks:

  • If data is not available (either FWO/FU/FB data or data from customizing/master data), the respective fields stay empty.
  • The HAWB is printed in English
  • Certain data will only be available when the main stage is planned, i.e. a freight booking exists which contains this data (e.g. flight number)
  • Charges are only relevant for printing if they are settled to external business partners, internal charges are not printed

Here is an empty HAWB, with numbers for the single areas. Under the images, you will find a table which explains what will we displayed when for each of the numbers.

Number

Explanation

1 + 2 + 3

AWB number:

  • A combination of carrier, airport and document information

1

AWB code of airline

  • Numeric, three digits

3

HAWB number

  • Created from FWO via toolbar action “HAWB” -> “Draw HAWB Number” or entered manually

2

IATA code of airport of departure

  • Is not filled in HAWB, so it stays empty

4

Address of the shipper in FWO

CHGS Code

  • Equals freight term: PP for prepaid, CC for collect; first letter is for weight and volume charges, second one for other charges
  • Dependent on the incoterm (“General Data” tab of FWO): If the incoterm is either EXW or FCA, the CHGS code should be CC; if it’s FAS or FOB, the code should be CP; in all other cases (incl. empty incoterm) it should be PP

21-22

Payer information for weight and valuation charges

  • Maximum lines: 3

32

SCI code (Special customs information)

  • Two-letter code maintained in FWO (“General Data” tab)

33-41

Weight charges table

  • List of TRQ items (products or packages/containers) with the assigned weight charges
  • Depends on the calculation resolution base of your weight charges (either the products or the packages/containers are shown.
  • There can be more than one charge item assigned to a TRQ item. In this case, the charge-relevant data will have two lines, while the item-related data as “master” is only mentioned once. In the example you see on weight charge with a fix amount of 9 EUR and one rate-based (100 EUR for 100 KG weight) both assigned to one item:
  • If there are multiple main stages, the charges are all listed in this table. Example (two main stages, two weight charges per item and stage):
  • Only charges should be printed when they fit to the freight term/incoterm (e.g. CP; first character refers to weight charges => only weight charges from the collect side should appear)
  • Inactive charge lines should not be printed (see checkbox on FWO charges screen)
  • The end user has to take care of the fact that all lines fit into the table. If there are more, they will still continue to be printed outside of the table and therefore “overwrite” the other charges table (where both texts are visible).

33

Number of pieces

  • As defined for the TRQ item in the FWO

34

Gross weight

  • As defined for the TRQ item in the FWO

35

kg / lb

  • One-digit code: K for KG, L for LB
  • No automatic “translation”, it is in the responsibility of the item creator that he uses a common unit of measure

36

Rate class

37

Commodity code number

  • The number is shown which is defined in the rate table and which fits to the one defined at TRQ item level

38

Chargeable weight

  • Calculated from TCC

39

Rate/charge

  • Defined in either rate table or calculation sheet (can be overwritten in “Charges” screen of FWO)

40

Total of charge item line

  • Chargeable weight x rate amount or fix amount)

41

Nature of goods

  • Defined per weight charge item in the “Charges” screen of FWO
  • Multiple lines should occur on printout in the same order as entered in the FWO

42

Total number of pieces

  • Sum of number of pieces of displayed TRQ items
  • Important to have a common calculation resolution base, so that the sum doesn’t e.g. contain the number of products plus the number of packages that actually contain the products

43

Total gross weight

  • Sum of gross weight amounts of displayed TRQ items

44

Total amount

  • Sum of all displayed charge item totals

57

Other charges

  • Two adjacent tables with two columns each:
    • Charge code: Three-digit code, combination of IATA charge code (e.g. MY) plus payer information (C for due carrier and A for due agent)
    • Other charges are summarized per type and payer across all stages (e.g. all MYC are combined into one line)
    • Amount: Value of other charge (summed up across all entities plus header-level data)
  • Only charges should be printed when they fit to the freight term/incoterm (e.g. CP; second character refers to other charges => only other charges from the prepaid side should appear)
  • Inactive charge lines should not be printed (see checkbox on FWO charges screen)
  • The end user has to take care of the fact that all lines fit into the table. If there are more, they will still continue to be printed outside of the table and therefore “overwrite” the signature tables (where both texts are visible).

45-56

Prepaid/collect summary

  • All charges of all types are summarized across all entities (plus header-level data) regarding their payer information (prepaid or collect). This information comes from the incoterm setting, however, it is important to know that there is a simplifying mapping in place for the HAWB print, which takes the incoterm and “translates” it into a freight term; this mapping always returns PP/prepaid, except for the incoterms EXW and FCA, where it returns CC/collect, and for the incoterms FAS and FOB, where it returns CP. This doesn’t have any effect on the charge calculation itself, only for the printing. Example: If the freight term is CP, then there shouldn’t be any values in the cells for prepaid weight and collect other charges – even if they exist in the charge calculation.
  • Weight and valuation charges will only be collected from the main stage(s)
  • Inactive charge lines should not be added to the sums (see checkbox on FWO charges screen)
  • Other charges are further split into due carrier and due agent

55

Total prepaid

  • Sum of all prepaid charges

56

Total collect

  • Sum of all collect charges

58

Signature of shipper

  • Contains the term “On behalf of the shipper” in the first line with the name and city of the sales organization in the second line. The name is per default the second name of the business partner master data (see transaction BP), fallback is the first name:
  • Maximum characters per line: 40

59

Execution information

  • Contains the term “As carrier” in the first line, date and city in the second line, and name and city of the sales organization next to it, separated in two lines (name convention see above field 58)
  • The date is the flight date of first main stage (from booking) or as fallback the requested start date of the source-stop of the first main stage
  • The city is the city of the sales organization
  • Maximum characters per line (for carrier name, address and town/place): 40

60

Shipment order ID

  • Number of Freight Unit

61

Address of sales organization

  • Sequence according to availability:
    • Edited printing address from FWO’s business partner tab (edit text field, not only select different address text type)
    • 4-line address from business partner
    • 5-line address from business partner
    • Maximum 4 lines of default address from business partner
    • Maximum characters per line: 35

Finally, you can define whether to print other charges or not and if you want to have amounts printed as "as agreed". You can find the respective checkboxes on the FWO charges tab. The following table will illustrate what will be displayed when these checkboxes are marked.

Scenario

Outcome

Resulting HAWB: The tables for weight charges, other charges and prepaid/collect summary should display the correct data, sums and totals should be correct etc.

Resulting HAWB: In this case, the table for the other charges should be empty, and the prepaid/collect summary and its totals should not contain the other charges.

Resulting HAWB: In this case, the table for the other charges should be normally displayed, also the values for other charges in the prepaid/collect summary. But all rate and charge amounts from weight and valuation charges should be hidden and masked with “Agreed” (rate amounts) or “As Agreed” (all totals)

Resulting HAWB: In this case, the table for other charges and the related data in the prepaid/collect summary should be empty. All other rate and charge amounts from weight and valuation charges should be hidden and masked with “Agreed” (rate amounts) or “As Agreed” (all totals).
