MESSAGES SEARCH
The Outbound Message Search screen enables users with the appropriate access to conduct a search for inbound and outbound messages that have been processed by the Integrated Cargo System (ICS).
Authorised users can search for inbound and outbound messages on the following information:
* the outbound message recipient (the recipient is identified by their Australian Business Number (ABN), Customs Client ID (CCID) or EDI Site)
* the senders reference
* the message type (selected from list, eg full import declaration, drawback claim, etc)
* the message transmitted on time and date range.
To search for outbound messages:
Step 1. From the main menu, click on Imports, then click on Diagnostics, then click on Messages Search.
The Outbound Message Search screen displays.
The Outbound Message Search screen enables users to conduct a search for inbound and outbound messages that have been processed by the ICS.
The default search criteria in the Select Combination field will be Outbound Message Recipient & Senders Ref & Message Type.
Fields for this search combination are displayed as mandatory fields except for the time fields. All other fields are disabled.
Note: the Outbound Message Recipient Id field is populated with the ABN or CCID of the client accessing the system.
Note: when this screen is accessed by clicking a hyperlink from one of the other Imports view screens, all fields for the default search combination will be pre-populated with the data specific to that particular document.
Step 2. In the Select a Search Combination field, click on the drop down button and select one of the following options:
* Outbound Message Recipient & Senders Ref & Message Type
* Outbound Message Recipient & Message Type & Message Date/Time Range.
Step 3. Enter the relevant values in the mandatory fields.
Note: the Message Type field can be found using a search. To do this, click on the Message Type book icon and select the appropriate option from the list displayed. When returned to the Outbound Message Search screen, the relevant value will be populated.
Note: the inbound message date range must be no more than 30 days duration, otherwise an error will be generated. The Date 'From' and 'To' fields must not contain a future date. Completing the Inbound Message Time Range section is optional but if the 'From' time field is entered the corresponding 'To' time field must also be inserted.
Note: to clear the search criteria entered, click on the Clear button.
Step 4. Click on the Search button.
