The Details/History Window is located directly under the Main Function Buttons. It is designed to give the user information about the status of the manifest. It is divided into two sections:

Details

Displays information about the manifest including the Trip Number, Port of Arrival, Estimated Arrival Date, and the Current Status.

History

Displays a complete history for the manifest and all attached shipments, including when the manifest and shipments were started, major changes that were made, what was sent to CBP, and CBP responses. Together with Current Status, this section is crucial to understanding the state of the manifest. The History Section is the only place where the user can:

Determine if the One Hour Prior Notice Requirement has been met. The hour begins once CBP has accepted the ACE eManifest.
