Introduction
Various flags can be displayed for a Shipment and Movement that indicate certain status-type information. A Shipment can display a flag for being over-weight, over-dimension, contains hazardous items, or contains special instructions.
The over-dimension flag is only for a Shipment/Movement with LTL (i.e. Less Than Truck Load) or Parcel Equipment Types. A Movement can display a flag for being over-weight, over-dimension or contains hazardous items.
These flags are shown on the Movement/Shipment Summary page under a Flags column. This column is shown if at least one Shipment or one Movement on the page has a flag set.
