Edit ACI eManifest Page (ACI eManifest)

This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide

The Edit ACI eManifest Page is a page in BorderConnect ACI eManifest software that allows the user to update the main information for the manifest. It can be accessed by clicking the Edit button on the ACI eManifest Details Page.

Save Button: Used to save the data that has been updated on the page. Clicking this button updates the manifest with the data that has been entered and returns the user to the ACI eManifest Details Page.

Cancel Button: Cancels the attempt to edit the ACI eManifest. Clicking this button disregards any data updated on the page and returns the user to the ACI eManifest Details Page.

Clear Button: Used to clear data from all fields on the page. Clicking this button makes all fields blank.

Trip Number (aka conveyance reference number): This is a unique number used to identify the manifest for CBSA. The trip number always begins with a Canadian Carrier Code, which can be selected using the drop-down menu. This must be followed by 4 to 21 characters, either numbers or letters, which can be entered in the text field. The trip number must be unique and cannot be a PARS number or other Cargo Control Number. Recommended strategies for creating unique trip numbers include using an internal load number, using the date, or starting at 0001 and counting up.

First Canadian Port of Entry: This is where the driver will be entering Canada. By typing either the city name or the port code, the port should appear for selection. In most cases, it is also possible to type the name of the city on the American side of the border to bring up the corresponding Canadian Port of Entry.

Sub Location/Warehouse: Used to indicate the location that in-bond shipments will be bonded to. This field is required for in-bond shipments, or to allow failed PARS to move in-bond. As such, it is generally recommended that non-bonded carriers leave this field blank and bonded carriers always complete it. By typing either the name of the warehouse or the sublocation code, it should appear for selection.

Estimated Arrival Date: Used to indicate the date the driver is expected to arrive at the Canadian border. To set another date, the user can enter it in the text field using the format mm/dd/yyyy or use the calendar tool by clicking the calendar icon. The currently entered date can also be cleared by clicking the eraser icon. It is not possible to transmit a manifest more than 30 days in advance of arrival.

Estimated Arrival Time: Used to indicate the time of day the driver is expected to arrive at the Canadian border. To set it to a different time, use the drop-down menus to set hours, minutes, and am/pm.
