Check your SAM before you send it — every problem with its ICEGATE code

In this film

• Every bill on the ship as a row: master bill, consignee, boxes, packages, weight, discharge port and movement. Consolidations show their house bills.
• Checks, each named by the ICEGATE code a refusal would carry: the voyage declares 4 lines but the file carries 3 (279), and one box entered at two different sizes (705).
• Amber rows are warnings: every PAN in this video is an invented placeholder, and the editor notices. No refusal for one is on record, so they are warnings, not errors.
• Open the line to see the problem where it sits and correct the container on the equipment list — the check reruns as you leave the cell. For the line count, the editor offers the fix: "Set the totals to what the file carries".
• Save it to come back to. Download SCMTR JSON writes the file back as it came, except the values you changed.
• Check which bills already carry a CSN, then Sign & upload — both named, not pressed.
