What Does the Container Validation Field Mean on an Inventory Interchange?

If you see a ‘Check Digit Error’ message underneath the Container Validation field in an interchange, this article will explain what this message means.

The Container Validation field is meant to confirm that the container number entered into the system is properly input. If there is an error with how the container number is entered, a red ‘Check Digit Error’ will appear under the Container Validation field on the current inventory and interchange report. 

Every entry that has the ‘Check Digit Error’ shown needs to be edited to the proper container number. All current inventory can be edited from the Current Inventory Report, found under the Gate Management tab, by clicking the Action Button (...) on the container record that needs to be adjusted.

If ‘OK’ is displayed, then the system confirms that the container number is entered correctly.
