Your BL shows "SAM disagrees". What is different, what do you send the line, and how do you keep the reply without losing it in a WhatsApp chat?
In this film
- Bills and containers on the VCN page, problems on top
- "SAM disagrees" (a Fix) and the smaller "SAM differs — check"; SDM for an export
- For the line: exactly what its SAM must mention, ready to copy
- Open a case with the line: the BL, what customs shows and whose turn it is, in one place
- A link for the line — no login needed — sent on WhatsApp
- The line replies on the link; the reply comes into your case and your bell, and only you and the line see it
