Port Codes

1What is this master? #

• Use Find (F2) to load an existing port, Add (F3) to create one, Modify (F4) to edit the loaded port, Save (F5) to store it.
• When this master opens as an embedded dialog from another page, load or save a port and press Use port to return its code to the caller.

2Step by step #

Port codes are the customs port identifiers export documentation carries.

1. Press Add (F3) , enter the port code and name as published by customs, save with F5 .
2. Export-facing vouchers and documents then offer it where a port is asked for.

3Fields #

• Port Code is the short identifying code (up to 10 characters, stored in UPPERCASE) and is required. It is entered only when adding — once saved it is locked and shown read-only in Modify mode; to change a code, delete the record and add it again.
• Port Name is the descriptive port name (up to 100 characters).

4Integrity #

• The port code is the record's unique key — no two ports can share a code, and the code cannot change once saved.
• User permissions (database _PERM triggers) can refuse a save or delete — if that happens the message names the missing permission.
• Deleting a port also clears its document links (database _DOCLINK trigger).
