Import Release statuses

Status | Description |
|---|---|
Submitted | When an Import Release is created, it needs to be approved by another party, unless it is auto approved. An Import Release is in Submitted status when it is submitted but pending approval. For example, an IR submitted by a CFS operator will need to be approved by the associated shipping line. |
Active | When an import release is either auto-approved (when created by a shipping line), or approved by a shipping line when created by other users, it is in Active state. |
Expired | Every import release request has a validity date, past which the request status is changed to “Expired”. Note: A user can change the validity date of an expired import release to return it to Active status, and delete the containers in the expired IR. A new IR can be created with the deleted containers. |
Completed | When all containers listed in an import release request are gated out, the request status changes to “Completed”. |
Partial Gate Out | When some (but not all containers in the Import Release) are gated out, then the status of the request is “Partial Gated Out”. |
Cancelled | When a user cancels an Import release request, its status is changed to “Cancelled”. |
