Understanding Reference Files: Before You Start This Learning Unit, You Should Already Know
The video shows you the Reference Files module where master data for records used throughout the system
are stored. This is where you build and maintain source data for records such as vessels, currencies, package
types, service levels, etcetera. Some reference files are maintained for compliance, particularly when sourced
for electronic messaging, while others serve to minimize and standardize data entry.
Before you start this learning unit, you should already know:
Important: CargoWise comes pre-configured with an extensive database for some Reference File records,
while other records will need to be created and maintained in line with your own business requirements.
In addition, some login countries include reference files that will update automatically. For example, the
Currency reference files may be maintained through integration with local customs authorities, if the
service is available.
Activity One
Review sub menus available within the Reference Files module.
Within sub menus you can choose to View, Edit or Delete records, or click on the New button to create a
new record. These menu options may change depending on the reference file you have accessed.
