Work on one SAM as a team — a line each, load lists and BLs, Done and Checked

In this film

• The lines board: every line's state, the next step, and who is on which line now.
• One person on each line. Changes save as you type and reach everyone else's screen within seconds.
• A line someone else has open reads only. Ask them, or take it over — they are asked to hand it over first.
• A load list: each field matched to its column, the bills matched to their lines by BL number, and every value shown beside what the line says. A count the rows repeat is never guessed. The next sheet laid out the same way is matched as you matched it last time.
• A BL PDF becomes a new line. What the BL says is shown value by value; what no BL prints is listed as still to fill, never guessed. (The BL's reading is staged in this video.)
• Done, waiting for papers, Send back with a reason, and Checked — one press checks every clean line.
• A shut-out bill taken off, the totals counted again, the lines numbered 1–N, and signing, which freezes the SAM for everyone. Closed without sending.
• An SAA, the same way: only the lines the amendment carries are Done and Checked.

• Working together on a SAM or SAASeveral people on one SAM or SAA: one person a line, Done and Checked, load lists read into lines, change requests and one consolidated SAA.
• Working with a shipping line filing (SAM / SDM)Open a shipping line’s SACHM23 manifest — hundreds of bills, over a megabyte — as a searchable table, and correct a line without rebuilding it.
• Amending a shipping line filing (SAA or SDA)What a minimal SAA or SDA carries — only the lines that changed, never the whole manifest again — what amdType means, and when to use each.
