Overview

EDI work in Sailix starts from the bills of lading on a sailing. Export EDI Generation covers the files Indian ports and customs ask for. Choose the line, agent and vessel voyage, tick the B/Ls, and download a JSON file for the type you need: Export EDI, Export TDR, Advance Load List, EGM EDI or Kolkata EGM EDI.

Export TDR Generation produces the terminal departure report as a spreadsheet. Each output is a file that you send on yourself, and Sailix keeps a record of every file it generates. The Sea Cargo Manifest PDF is generated on the Export Manifest screen and Cargo Summary Notification files on the CSN screens, from the same B/L data.
