The pending console split-ups board

A consolidator files its CSN with the house bills; the shipping line's manifest (the SAM) is meant to quote that CSN so the house bills reach the IGM. When the line's manifest names the master bill alone and the line will not — or cannot — file the amendment (SAA) that links them, the cargo sits: no IGM line, no Bill of Entry. Consolidators' associations kept a shared spreadsheet of such bills to take to the lines and the custom house together. The pending console split-ups board at scmtr.io/pending-splits is that register as a web page: every master bill a consolidator is waiting on, with the line, the port, how many house bills, what is holding it up — and, read from customs' public record every day, whether it is still pending.

Anyone can read the board and download it as Excel or PDF, with no account. Members sign in to add their own bills; a row is changed only by the organisation that listed it.

What is this board for — and what isn't it?

For console split-ups stuck at the shipping line only: your CSN is filed and accepted, and the line's manifest has not taken your house bills. A CSN with no acknowledgement, or an error while filing your own CSN, is not covered here — those are checked on the CSN itself, with the file check and the CSN page, where customs' answer and every rule the file breaks are read for you.

What does "Our findings" mean on a row?

Each row's Our findings is what ICEGATE's public SAM / IGM enquiry shows for that bill at that port — the same lookup BL tracking makes — read once a day and whenever the row's owner presses Check now. Nobody types it. The findings:

Still pending — the only CSN customs holds for the bill is a straight one with no house bill under it (the line's agent's or a co-loader's), and the line's manifest quotes it by its PCIN. The consolidator's CSN with the house bills is not on record, so the house bills are not on the manifest. This is the shape every pending bill on the association's own list showed when the board was built.Partly linked — a CSN carrying the house bills is accepted, but some house bills have no IGM line number yet. A house bill moving in transhipment never gets one, so such a row stays here until its owner closes it.Linked on customs' record — a CSN with the house bills is on record and every house bill carries the IGM line number customs gave it: the line's manifest has linked them. It is a finding, not a verdict: the row stays pending until its owner or SCMTR.io staff mark it resolved.No CSN yet — no CSN is on customs' record for this bill from anyone, so there is nothing for the line's manifest to take the house bills from. That starts on your side: check the CSN and its acknowledgement on the CSN page.Not on record — customs holds neither a manifest line nor a CSN for the bill at that port, nor at its neighbouring locations where the board knows them (Chennai, Kattupalli and Ennore are read together). Check the port and the bill number: a CSN filed at another port shows there.At another location — the finding opens with "At Kattupalli (INKAT1), not the port listed" when customs holds the bill at a neighbouring location rather than the one on the row: most bills the association listed at Chennai were on record at Kattupalli, where the ship had discharged. The row keeps the port its poster wrote; the finding reads the record that exists, and the bill lookup opens there.Could not be read — ICEGATE did not answer; the row keeps its last real answer and is tried again the next day.

Beside the verdict: how many CSNs are on record, how many house bills and how many of them have an IGM line, the inward date, and the VCN. Last checked says when, in IST.

What do the charts show?

Where the splits are stuck, above the rows, counts the pending rows so the culprits show: a few sentences first — which line holds the most house bills and what share, how many bills customs' record confirms stuck at the line, how many ships already have entry inward (so the line's amendment needs the officer's approval too), how many bills sit at a neighbouring location, the commonest cause, the busiest port, how many have waited more than two weeks — then the findings as a ring, the lines ranked by house bills held and split by finding, a line-by-cause grid, the ports, how long the cargo has waited, and the ships carrying most of it. Tap a line, a port, a cause or a finding to see just those rows. Resolved rows are not counted — they are no longer stuck.

How do I find a row, and can I send someone a page?

The board shows 25 rows a page (50 or 100 from the picker under the rows), every column heading sorts on a press, and the search and the port, line, cause and finding filters narrow it. Whatever you set — tab, search, filters, order, page — is written into the page's address, so copying the address sends that view; the plain address is the whole board.

What can't customs' record show?

Why the line is refusing, a cargo hold at the port or CFS for a missing bond or PAN, or an amendment filed but not yet accepted — the record shows accepted filings only. Those stay in the row's reason, in the poster's words, as context.

How do I add a bill?

Sign in, open the board and press Add a master bill. The master B/L number (a pasted "MBL No:" label is taken off, and the line is filled from the bill's own letters), how many house bills, the line, the customs location from the port list, the vessel and arrival if known, what is holding it up from a short list, and a reason in a sentence or two. The row is listed under your organisation's name — the "Consolidator" column is never typed. One open row per bill and port: if another member already lists it, the board says who. The board is public, so a PAN, a phone number or an e-mail address in any text is refused.

Your own rows carry Edit, Resolved (with a note on what cleared it; the row stays in sight for 30 days) and Reopen, and Check now under Last checked. SCMTR.io staff may mark any row resolved or reopen it; nothing is ever resolved by the record alone.

Under the findings some rows carry SCMTR.io's reading: what we make of the record in a few plain words and whether it can be handled — never the steps, which depend on the case.

Can I download the whole board?

Yes — Excel and PDF carry every row, every member's, in the spreadsheet's own columns plus status, days pending, our findings and when each was last checked. Share sends the count by line and a link to the page.

Is this advice?

No. Each row is the posting consolidator's own statement, shown as given; SCMTR.io checks the bill against customs' public record and nothing else. Informational only — verify with ICEGATE, the line and your customs broker before acting on it.
