The handshake: the line’s SAM and your CSN agree before either is filed — no SAA

In this film

• The line shares its draft SAM with every CSN holder, with a CSN cut-off 72 hours before arrival
• The line's board: which BL's CSN differs, which BL still expects a CSN — and naming the forwarder
• The forwarder on SCMTR sees the line's SAM against its own CSN, and asks the line to amend it — from the same page
• A forwarder with only the link sees the same difference, with no account
• The line approves the request, applies it to the exact BL and field in its SAM, and saves — before the SAM is filed
