Updated at April 29th, 2025

This checklist provides an overview of the data points you can personally input for your Shippabo View shipments, to ensure that you maximize the benefits of tracking your shipments.

Data to get the Shipment Started:

• MBL Number: The Master Bill of Lading number for your shipment
• Carrier: The steamship line who your shipment is booked with

Data to Enter After the Shipment is Started:

• Delivery Location: Assigning the delivery location that your shipment will be delivered to will enable the platform to provide a predicted delivery date. It will also allow you to generate reports that tie the actual delivery dates with their corresponding locations.
• PO Number: Your purchase order number(s) that is associated with the shipment. Entering this information will enable you to easily identify the specific shipments associated with each container.
• Shipper Name: The party who is acting as the supplier or shipper of the goods. Assigning the shipper party will allow you to generate holistic reports showing your trends across your various suppliers.
• Consignee Name: The party who is specified as the recipient or intended receiver of the shipment. Assigning the consignee party will enable you to generate comprehensive shipment lists, giving more context to your shipment ID numbers.
• Cargo Ready Date: The estimated date the cargo is ready. Entering this information will allow you to analyze the typical lead time between your shipment’s cargo ready and departure dates.
• Actual Delivery Date: The date that the shipment is actually delivered to the final delivery location. Entering this data will enable you to ensure your trucking partners are performing to your expectations and to easily track when all of your containers are delivered.
• Update shipment status to “Complete”: Updating your shipment status to complete once you’ve confirmed all containers are delivered will enable your team to have visibility into what shipments are completed, clearing up your shipment list and keeping it up to date.
• Upload Product List: Importing your product list via the bulk upload template allows you to see what SKUs are in your shipment. This will empower you to easily identify how many pieces of each SKU you have in various stages.
• Port of Discharge Detention LFD: Adding the detention LFD will enable you to generate reports to help you easily identify how much time you have left with each container, ensuring you don’t accrue unnecessary detention charges.
