The Sea Waybill skill extracts data from sea waybills — the documents marine carriers issue to list the goods being shipped along with sender, recipient, and carrier details. The sea waybill accompanies the conveyed goods and serves as a contract between carrier and shipper, but it is not a document of title (unlike a bill of lading).
The Sea Waybill skill is a preview skill. It has been trained on a limited set of documents and is designed to help you quickly get started with processing seaway bills. For production use, you may need to uptrain the skill with your own document samples.

To fill in a field with its calculated value, click the suggestion button in the value region of the field and select one of the suggestions from the drop-down list.
| Rule | Description |
|---|
| Process weight, volume, and quantity fields | Normalizes fields value, taking into account the typical format and order of magnitude used for sea cargo. |
| Process Charges | Parses and cleans up currency values found in freight and charges fields, using contextual data from the document (like countries involved in the shipment). |
| Check total gross and net weight | Checks if the value in the Totals/Total Net Weight (kg) field is less than the values in the Totals/Total Weight (kg) field. If not, displays an error. |
| Copy Quantity UoM | If the Totals/Total Quantity UoM field is empty and only one type of packaging is used throughout the document, copies the values from the Line Items/Quantity UoM or Containers/Quantity UoM fields. Suggests a value for empty Quantity UoM fields in the Line Items and Containers tables based on the Total/Total Quantity UoM field. |
| Check net weight total | Checks if the value in the Totals/Total Net Weight (kg) field equals the sum of the values in the Containers/Net Weight (kg) fields. If the values are not equal, or some of the fields are missing, suggests filling in the fields with their calculated values. |
| Check quantity total | Checks if the value in the Totals/Total Quantity field equals the sum of the values in the Containers/Quantity fields. If the values are not equal, or some of the fields are missing, suggests filling in the fields with their calculated values. |
