Generic Jobs

Generic Jobs are designed for simpler workflows such as trucking, customs clearance, or miscellaneous services. Unlike Air and Ocean jobs, Generic Jobs do not have a Master/House structure, but they support unique features like multi-Delivery Order (multi-DO) handling.

For shared functions (Job Status Flow, Accounting workflows, Job Estimations), refer to the General Jobs (Shipments) section.
