Company Setting

Company configuration overview

Company configuration controls how your organisation’s workflows behave. This overview is for administrators with access to the relevant settings. The options visible in your account depend on your company configuration and enabled features; ask your administrator or Fr8Labs support if a control is unavailable.

Configuration areas

Area	Capability
Routing dates	Choose date-only or date-and-time entry for routing fields such as ETD, ATD, ETA and ATA.
Job naming	Naming templates support `{departmentCode}` for the user’s department and `{isDomestic}` for domestic/international identification.
Document Center filenames	A company filename template controls generated Document Center names and can include supported dynamic elements.
Subjob types	Administrators can add, update, reorder or deactivate the available subjob types.
Air cargo rounding	The IATA Weight Rounding setting enables rounding of actual and volumetric weights on air shipments.
Master Air Waybill validation	The validation rule supports NONE (no format validation), HARD (block an invalid value), or SOFT (allow saving with a warning). Format validation applies to the MAWB field, rather than HAWB fields.

This page does not prescribe a default configuration. Review the current values and the workflow affected before changing a company setting. Use the supported configuration controls; for settings your account cannot edit, ask Fr8Labs support to confirm the available option.

Additional company options

Duplicate MAWB warning: isCheckMawbNoUnique enables a warning when a MAWB number has already been used in the same company. This check is non-blocking and separate from the MAWB format-validation rule above.
Fields Editable When Manifest is Locked: the allowlist can include blType, allowing the BL Type, such as Original BL or Express Release, to be changed while the manifest is locked. This does not unlock every shipment field.
Independent sub-job details: company configuration can separate sub-job routing and shipment direction from the Master Job. A separate Unsync Shipment Master Job Admin option controls independent Customer, Notify, and Bill To administration. Confirm the applicable option with your administrator before assuming an edit will propagate between jobs.
Local charge calculations: localItemCalculationMethod supports the standard calculation when unset or empty, and CUSTOM for configured custom values. Have the responsible administrator confirm the intended formula before enabling a custom method.
Password expiry: under System Settings → Security, Enable Password Expiry and the configured number of days control when users must change an expired password. Users follow the password-change prompt at login. The password validation introduced with this setting requires at least eight characters, a letter and a digit, and no spaces; follow any additional validation shown by your current deployment.

Direct accrual conversion

Under Invoice Settings, Enable Direct Accrual-to-Actual Conversion controls whether submitted Accrual Invoices can be converted from the invoice view. The conversion handles an Accrual Reversal in the background. See Sales Accrual for the distinction between the internal accrual and the resulting Actual Invoice.
