Step-by-step quick guide for My Freight

using the freight module in EIS and doing the job is normally just a few steps:

  1. Click on "My Freight" on the left of your EIS screen and press the button "+Create new freight"



  2. Enter the "Freight requisitioner" and the "Freight information" as the first steps of this module. The "Freight requisitioner" is the responsible person of the freight - normally yourself!



    Please make sure: always use the templates that are available in the "Freight information" area!

  3. Go "to collect freight" and follow the area structure:



    add your articles in area "Create item" (1)



    put these directly into area "Move here" (3) if your articles do not need to be packed



    or use area "Put article in box" (2) and then put the created and filled packings down to the area "Move here" (3).



  4. Click "Submit freight"



    Additional information
  5. Sometimes it might be helpful to have someone available as your administrative substitute on a particular freight. You can add the email-address of this person in the "Freight requisitioner" area.



  6. You have taken part in a former expedition? All expeditions starting from PS121 onwards keep your submitted freight data!
    Maybe you can re-use your freight information you submitted earlier - check this in "Collect freight"!
