Additional information: "Administrative substitute"
As the menu title "My freight" described this as your personal freight area, you as the freight requisitioner can invite EIS user(s) as an "Administrative substitute" for the current freight you are working on. This can be helpful if you organise freight for a working group and you will let the team members take part in organising it. If you have been invited as an administartive sustitute for a freight, you can enter and manage freight details for someone else.
In a second step, you need to enter the "Freight information", for example platform, expedition number, if your freight contains special cargo or if you want to upload your own packing lists as you maybe work for a different institute than the AWI and therefore you use your own lists, etc. (Please keep in mind: we recommend to enter your freight information in EIS). You always need to use the expeditions available. The"specify manually" option is only allowed in exeptional cases and when this has been agreed between you and Nina Machner from AWI logistics in advance.

The basic information of your freight, which you entered in the step before, are still available, when you use the pen-symbol on top right. As we now concentrate on the freight items, we do not need this information currently, but you can easily access it.
If you have been taking part in a former expedition from PS121 onwards, maybe you or your group has already entered freight items into EIS and now you can re-use these or parts of it. It is additionally possible to use the upload function via Microsoft Excel-template which you find on the web pages of the AWI logistics. If you want to use it, please take care about the version of the templates shown in dialogue boxes and help-information directly in EIS.

If you have articles that don't need packings such as e.g. compressors, these can be pulled directly into section (3). Pull also your now filled packings into section (3), too.
