This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide

The ACI eManifest Details Page is the main page for an ACI eManifest in BorderConnect ACI eManifest software. It gives users a complete overview of the manifest, provides access to related equipment and shipment sections, and allows users to make changes or transmit information to Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA).

Use this page whenever you need to review manifest information, verify the current status, troubleshoot CBSA responses, or make changes to the manifest.

The ACI eManifest Details Page can be accessed in the following ways:

Automatically after saving a new ACI eManifest, unless Save and Start New Shipment is selected.
By using the Back to ACI eManifest button on the ACI Shipment Details Page for a shipment attached to the manifest.
By using the Back to ACI eManifest link for the most recently viewed manifest.
From the ACI eManifest Search Page by clicking View on an ACI eManifest search result.

Main Function Buttons

The main function buttons are located near the top of the page. They provide access to common manifest actions, documentation, exporting, and tracking.

ACI eManifest Details page main function buttons.

Button	Purpose
Edit	Opens the Edit ACI eManifest Page to change the Trip Number, First Canadian Port of Entry, Sub Location / Warehouse, or ETA. After saving, the user returns to the ACI eManifest Details Page.
Export	Exports and downloads eManifest data in JSON format. JSON includes trip and shipment details. JSON (with history) includes trip and shipment data plus timestamps for submissions and responses.
Print	Generates an ACI eManifest Driver's Copy in PDF format. The menu lets the user choose either a Standard Driver's Copy or Detailed Driver's Copy.
Fax	Sends an ACI eManifest Driver's Copy by fax. The user chooses Standard or Detailed, enters the fax number, and may add a subject for the fax header. The area code is always required.
Email	Sends an ACI eManifest Driver's Copy by email as a PDF attachment. The user can enter the recipient email address, subject, email body, and optionally change the From email address.
Track	Tracks the manifest by email and system notification. The user receives an email when new CBSA responses arrive, including arrival and release responses. A link to the tracked manifest appears under the menu bar and shows three red exclamation marks when a new response is received.

The Track menu also allows tracking with a note. The note helps the user remember why the manifest is being tracked. The same button can later be used to untrack the eManifest.

Details / History Window

Details and History window on the ACI eManifest Details Page.

The Details / History window is located directly under the main function buttons and is used to understand the current state of the manifest.

Section	Information shown
Details	Displays information such as Trip Number, Port of Entry, Estimated Arrival Date, Sublocation / Warehouse, Current Status, when the manifest was created, who created it, when it was last edited, and who edited it.
History	Displays a complete history for the manifest and attached shipments, including when they were started, major changes, transmissions to CBSA, and CBSA responses.

The History section is the main place to:

Determine whether the One Hour Prior Notice Requirement has been met. The hour begins once CBSA has accepted both the ACI eManifest and the customs broker's entry for PARS shipments on the manifest. If the manifest was cancelled and resubmitted, or changed, only the most recent accept message applies.
Review CBSA rejects and identify what needs to be corrected.
See when the truck arrived at the border.
Track major changes made to the manifest.

For readability, similar status messages that occur at the same time are grouped together. Use Detailed under Change View to see the full set of messages. Use Filter View to show messages for the manifest or for individual shipments. In most cases, the default View All option is the most useful.

Truck Section

Truck section on the ACI eManifest Details Page.

The Truck section is below the Details / History window. It shows the truck currently listed on the manifest and provides options to assign, change, remove, or review the truck. Truck information is mandatory on an ACI eManifest.

Remove Truck from eManifest	Removes the current truck from the manifest. Any seal numbers listed on the truck are also removed from the manifest.
Set Cargo Exemption	Marks exempt cargo loaded on the truck. Menu options include LVS, Flying Truck, IIT, and Mail. For these shipment types, no shipment is required on the manifest, but the cargo exemption must be set. If there is a trailer on the manifest, set the cargo exemption on the trailer instead.
View	Opens the truck details page with options to change or remove the truck, edit or view the Truck Profile, create seal numbers, or return to the manifest.
Change	Opens a screen to select a different truck and optionally set a cargo exemption or add seal numbers. It may be faster to remove the truck and quick assign a new one.

The Trailer section is below the Truck section. It lists trailers assigned to the manifest and provides options to add, change, remove, or review trailers. Trailer information is mandatory if a trailer is being used.

Action	Result
Add Trailer	Adds a trailer to the manifest. This can be used multiple times for multiple trailers, such as double-drop trailers. The selection screen also allows cargo exemptions or seal numbers. Quick Assign Trailer is usually faster.

Driver / Passenger Section

Driver / Passenger section on the ACI eManifest Details Page.

The Driver / Passenger section is below the Trailer section. It lists drivers and passengers assigned to the manifest. Driver and passenger information is optional on ACI eManifests and is not transmitted to CBSA; it is for user reference only.

Action	Result
Assign Driver to ACI eManifest	Adds a driver to the manifest. It can be used multiple times for team drivers. Quick Assign Driver is usually faster.

Shipment Section

The Shipment section is below the Driver / Passenger section. It lists shipments attached to the manifest and provides options to add, remove, review, and manage shipment status. All shipments aboard must be reported on one ACI eManifest.

Action	Result
Create New Shipment	Opens the Start New ACI Shipment Page. A shipment created this way is automatically attached to the manifest. Use this only when the shipment has not already been created in BorderConnect.
Send to CBSA	Sends a Status Query using RNS to gather the most current information for Cargo Control Numbers on the ACI eManifest.
Set Shipment Status	Corrects the Current Status of all shipments on the manifest when one or more are believed to be incorrect. This should rarely be used because statuses normally update automatically from CBSA responses. This button does not make changes in the CBSA system. For example, setting a shipment to Cancelled does not cancel it with CBSA; a cancel request must be used instead.
Quick Assign Shipment	Attaches an unassociated shipment to the manifest by Cargo Control Number. This can only be used when the shipment already exists and is not currently attached to another manifest.
View	Opens the ACI Shipment Details Page to review or edit a shipment.
Detach	Removes a shipment from the manifest. The shipment remains in BorderConnect as an unassociated shipment so it can be reassigned later.

The Set Shipment Status menu displays available ACI shipment statuses. After a status is selected, the user must confirm the selection before the status is updated for all shipments on the manifest.
