Setting Up House Air Waybills

A House Air Waybill or HAWB is considered as a contract of carriage between the Forwarder and Shipper. HAWBs are issued by forwarders for every shipment.

To create HAWB records, the HAWB prefix needs to be set up first in Master Data > Carriers. This procedure differentiates a House Air Waybill from a Master Air Waybill in the Full AWB screen.

Other HAWB settings such as auto-acceptance and manifesting rules can also be configured in the system. Handling agents working on multiple airlines can set these HAWB manifesting preferences in the HAWB Manifest screen.
