Register Cargo Items
When you need to make specific registrations on cargo item level, it can be done in the "Manual" view.

When scanning, the app will always assume that the item is successfully picked up/delivered and therefore you can just continuously scan each item.

To register a Cargo Item without using the scanner, you simply tap on the item. Here you will be presented with a view where you can select if you successfully picked up/delivered the Cargo Item. You can also add registrations if there is something to report, such as a damage to the item or similar.



Signature
Use this view to get a signature from recipients.
