Abstract: A cargo management system is described that includes a host computer system operating software that performs work order management tasks to maintain data associated with a work order. A user interface module presents a user interface for access to the host computer system. The user interface includes at least one input mechanism for specifying within the work order transfer of one or more goods undergoing a process to a destination location as specified by the work order. In one embodiment, the destination location includes one of a terminal container, a terminal location, a warehouse, and a unit load device. Based on the input mechanism, the host computer system links data associated with the one or more goods to the data associated with the work order, thereby adding the one or more goods to the work order. The one or more goods undergoing one or more processes may include goods in transit, goods still pending and goods undergoing unloading.

Abstract: A cargo management system is described in which a host computer system determines rejected freight shipment items and non-rejected freight shipment items based on one or more configurable parameters. A user interface module executing on a network interface computer of the cargo management system presents a user interface that includes a user-selectable debug option. During normal operation, i.e., when the debug option is not activated, the user interface module displays only the non-rejected freight shipment items. When the debug option is activated, however, the user interface module displays the rejected freight shipment items in addition to the non-rejected freight shipment items.
