[[File:paps1.png|400px|thumb|right|Viewing the '''Start New ACE Shipment''' page]]{{#ev:youtube|kmCFG7LX2gU|360|right|How to add shipment info on an ACE eManifest in BorderConnect.}}'''The Start New ACE Shipment Page''' is a page in BorderConnect [https://www.borderconnect.com/ace-e-manifest/index.htm ACE Manifest software] where the user begins a new shipment. It allows the user to enter the main information for the shipment and save it once finished. The Start New ACE Shipment Page is normally accessed from the [[ACE_Manifest_Details_Page_(ACE_Manifest)|ACE Manifest Details Page]] by clicking the Create New Shipment Button, or by using the 'Save and Start New ACE Shipment' link on the [[Start_New_ACE_Manifest_Page_(ACE_Manifest)|Start New ACE Manifest Page]]. In both of those cases the new shipment will be added to the manifest be default. It is also possible to access the page under the ACE eManifests menu by selecting 'Start New ACE Shipment', although this will not automatically attach the shipment to a manifest.

<div class="bc-article-meta">
;Shipment Type:
<span class="bc-article-pill"><i class="fas fa-box-open"></i> Type: Shipment Entry</span>
:Used to indicate the type of Customs clearance for the shipment. It will automatically default to [[PAPS_(CBP_Shipment_Type)|PAPS]]. If this is not correct the user can select the correct [[Shipment_Types_For_ACE_and_ACI_eManifest|Shipment Type]] from the list using the drop down menu.
<span class="bc-article-pill"><i class="fas fa-flag-usa"></i> System: ACE Manifest</span>
;Shipment Control Number:
</div>
:This is a unique number to identify the shipment for CBP. Regardless of the Shipment Type a unique Shipment Control Number must be supplied. For PAPS shipments this will be the PAPS Number. The Shipment Control Number always begins with a [[SCAC]], which can be selected using the drop down menu. This must be followed by at least 4 characters (numbers or letters) which can be entered in the text field.
</div>
;Province of Loading:
 
:Used to indicate the province the goods were shipped from or accepted from. In most cases it will match the province listed under the Shipper's address on the paperwork. However it is determined by where the customer picked up the goods.
<div class="bc-card">
;Attached to Trip Number:
 
:Used to indicate which manifest the shipment will be attached to. Will automatically be filled in if the shipment was started from manifest. Otherwise the manifest can be selected by typing the trip number in the text field and selecting it when it comes up. Please note the manifest being selected must already exist.

<h2 style="margin-top: 0;">Overview</h2>
;Save and Commodity
<p>The <strong>Start New ACE Shipment Page</strong> is where you create individual shipments that will be attached to an ACE truck manifest. Each shipment represents a single Customs clearance transaction (such as a PAPS release) reported to U.S. Customs and Border Protection.</p>
:Saves the information currently entered on the page and brings the user to the [[ACE_Commodity_Details_Page_(ACE_Manifest)|Add/Edit Commodity for ACE Shipment Page]]. Moving the mouse over this link will display additional options as well.
 
<p>Shipments can be created directly from an existing ACE manifest (the most common and efficient workflow) or as standalone shipments from the main menu.</p>

* <strong>Commodities:</strong> A shipment is not complete without commodities. Always follow up the "Save" by adding the cargo details immediately.
