Commodity Hazmat Fields
We have a few fields specifically for Hazmat commodities, here is a brief run-through:
- The description (in red on the screenshots below) is the actual searchable name of the item in the address book.
- The Piece Description field (in green on the screenshots below) allows the PCS section on the BOL to be customized as we've found a lot of carriers required certain verbiage here with HM shipments
- The Custom Class Description (in purple on the screenshots below) also has a very specific use, as it is tied to the new Custom Class option and will only display when the Custom Class option is selected.
