Start with one clean MAWB record.

Before anything else, the master airway bill record has to be stable. If the MAWB number, flight details, destination, or total shipment values are drifting between emails and sheets, the rest of the filing will keep wobbling.

Most filing delays start here. One wrong master reference can force the team to recheck every attached HAWB before the CGM is regenerated.

  • +Match the MAWB against the airline document first.
  • +Freeze the flight and routing details before linking houses.
  • +Check package and weight totals before moving ahead.

Then link every HAWB under the right master.

The real consol pain usually shows up when house shipments arrive in mixed PDF formats from different branches or clients. If one HAWB is missing, duplicated, or linked to the wrong master, the CGM queue slows down immediately.

This is where teams need structured HAWB checks, not another copy-paste round.

  • +Match every HAWB to the right MAWB.
  • +Check consignee names, package counts, and chargeable weights.
  • +Flag duplicate or missing house records before file generation.

Generate, verify, and sign before the cutoff becomes a fire drill.

Once the shipment data is stable, the file still needs one more disciplined pass. Teams usually lose time when the file is generated in one place, reviewed in another, and signed in a separate unstable utility.

A better flow is simple: generate the output, verify the exceptions, then move directly into the DSC step.

  • +Generate the CGM output from the final MAWB and HAWB set.
  • +Catch sequence, formatting, or missing-data issues before signing.
  • +Send the ready file into the DSC signing step without rehandling it.
