Business Need

The ability to list the dimensions on some documents.

Business Requirements

The ability to list the dimensions from Commodity#Table_B onto the HAWB, D/O & MAWB without manual entry by the record operator.

Each document (MAWB/HAWB/D/O) cannot be a 2 page document that is why we can not follow conventional way of listing it as a field on a Pdf template

Dims Format

Info should be pre-formated by the system. Example:

10 @ 200x500x80 cm
 5 @ 15x15x25 cm

Suggestions for Design

Marc and I identified 2 options for design.

Design A

• add new Dimensions textarea on Cont Tab
• add "Populate Dims"
• system would populate this textarea with dims info accordingly to #Dims Format
• user would copy/paste from there into any pdf template field (manually)

Design B

• • pull info into (new) Dimensions textarea on Pdf template (same)

• Example:

For table below:

Copy info below into new Dimensions textarea

10 @ 200x500x80 cm
 5 @ 15x15x25 cm
