ACI Shipper/Consignee Search Page (ACI eManifest)
|
🔖 This article is part of the BorderConnect Software User Guide |
The ACI Shipper/Consignee Search Page is where you manage the address profiles used on ACI shipments in BorderConnect’s ACI eManifest system.
These profiles are reused across shipments and help speed up data entry while keeping shipper and consignee information consistent. This page is most commonly used to:
- Correct name or address errors
- Remove duplicate profiles
- Review existing shipper and consignee records
You can access this page from the ACI eManifests menu by selecting Shippers & Consignees.
Main controls
| Button | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Create New | Add a new shipper, consignee, delivery destination, or notify party profile |
| Search By | Choose which profile type to view (Shippers, Consignees, Delivery Destinations, Notify Parties) |
| Export Data (CSV) | Download the current results to a spreadsheet |

Best practices

💡 • Let the system auto-create profiles during shipment entry whenever possible • Periodically review for duplicates • Keep addresses formatted clearly for customs processing • Avoid deleting profiles currently in active use unless correcting errors |
