Air Waybill number validation
Note: This option is available only to Super Users.
The Air Waybill (AWB) number validation feature in DG AutoCheck helps to improve your data quality.
When a DGD is uploaded to DG AutoCheck, the AWB number is captured from the scanned image. It must be verified and eventually adjusted by the user during the Verification step.
As per IATA standard, an AWB number is made of 11-digits. The 11th is a check digit (unweighted Modulus 7). The expected AWB number format is “000-00000000”.
DG AutoCheck can automatically validate the AWB number against the IATA standard.
There is some flexibility provided in the permitted formats.
