Arrival Notice - Document Skill

Extract data from ocean and air arrival notices — consignee, carrier, shipper, BoL numbers, vessel and voyage, ports, containers, weights, and charges.

The Arrival Notice skill extracts key data from arrival notices in English — the document a carrier sends to the consignee to report a shipment’s arrival date and discharge location.

The Arrival Notice skill is a production skill. It has been fully trained on a large document set and provides high accuracy of data identification and extraction. The skill is ready to be used in production and does not require further training on your specific documents. Accuracy and straight-through processing (STP) rates can be further optimized in production through continuous learning from human-in-the-loop feedback.

Validation Rules

Rule	Description
Check or calculate Total Weight	If there is one container mentioned in the document, copies the values of either the Weight Metric or the Weight Nonmetric fields in the table in the Containers group to the Weight Metric or Weight Nonmetric fields. If there are several containers mentioned in the document, checks if the values of the Weight Metric or Weight Nonmetric fields are equal to the sum of the values in the Weight Metric or Weight Nonmetric fields in the table in the Containers group. If the values do not match or if the Weight Metric or Weight Nonmetric fields are empty, the rule prompts you to populate them with the calculated value.
Copy weight UoM	If the Weight UoM Metric or Weight UoM Nonmetric fields in the Weight group are empty, copies the values of the Weight UoM Metric or Weight UoM Nonmetric fields from the table in the Containers group, and vice versa. If the table contains several values for the Weight UoM Metric and Weight UoM Nonmetric fields and there are no values for the Weight UoM Metric and Weight UoM Nonmetric fields in the Weight group, the rule prompts you to select one of the values.
Check or calculate Total Volume	If there is one container mentioned in the document, copies the value of the Volume Metric or Volume Nonmetric fields in the table in the Containers group to the Volume Metric or Volume Nonmetric fields. If there are several containers mentioned in the document, checks if the value of the Volume Metric or Volume Nonmetric fields equal the sum of the values in Volume Metric or Volume Nonmetric fields in the table in the Containers group. If the values do not match or if the Volume Metric or Volume Nonmetric fields are empty, the rule prompts you to populate them with the calculated values.
Copy volume UoM	If the Volume UoM Metric or Volume UoM Nonmetric fields in the Volume group are empty, copies the values of the Volume UoM Metric or Volume UoM Nonmetric fields from the table in the Containers group, and vice versa. If the table contains several values for the Volume UoM Metric and Volume UoM Nonmetric fields and there are no values for the Volume UoM Metric and Volume UoM Nonmetric fields in the Volume group, the rule prompts you to select one of the values.
Check or calculate Total Packages	If there is one container mentioned in the document, copies the value of the Number of Packages field in the Containers group to the Number of Packages field in the Packages group. If there are several containers mentioned in the document, checks if the value of the Number of Packages field in the Packages group is equal to the sum of the values in the Number of Packages field in the Containers group. If the values do not match or if the Number of Packages field in the Packages group is empty, the rule prompts you to populate it with the calculated value.
Check Checkmarks	Defines the field value using the possible values for Terms/Prepaid and Terms/Collect, as well as the following two additional values: Terms/PrepaidText if the Prepaid payment type is set by default or specified in the arrival notice as a word instead of a checkmark. Terms/CollectText if the Collect payment type is set by default or specified in the arrival notice as a word instead of a checkmark.
