Stena now require that a “UK Customs Procedure” is selected when a user is making a booking with Stena in the Stratum TMS system.
The UK Customs Procedure is set at the route level via the TMS in the Shipping → Routes screen.
The “UK Customs Procedure” can be enabled on newly created Stena routes by selecting the “UK Customs Procedure Required” check-box as the route is being created.
The “UK Customs Procedure” can be enabled on routes that already exist in the Shipping → Routes screen by double-clicking on the route, or by selecting the 'Edit' icon in the top left-hand corner, and then selecting the the “UK Customs Procedure Required” check-box (Figure 1).
Please note: this change has been completed by the Customer Success Team during the TMS / Stena Integration update

The “UK Customs Procedure” can be disabled on a Stena route, if it is not required, by un-selecting the “UK Customs Procedure Required” check-box (Figure 2).
This can also be done on new and existing Stena routes in Shipping → Routes.

Once the relevant UK Customs Procedure has been selected on the booking and the other information has been added to the booking (references, resources, etc) the user can then request the booking from Stena (Figure 5).
Amending a Booking with UK Customs Required
If a user has a confirmed booking with Stena and the incorrect Customs Procedure was selected, or if the Customs Procedure selected needs to be updated, then the user can go back into the booking and change this to the correct Customs Procedure.
The user can select the correct Customs Procedure, from the “Customs Proc” field, and click on the “save” icon.
The update to the booking will then be sent to Stena (Figure 6 / 7).
Error Handling
If a user is creating a booking with a Stena route which requires UK Customs Procedures a value must be set in the “Customs Proc“ field on the booking.
If no option is selected for a route that requires UK Customs Procedures then an error prompt will be presented to the user to ensure an option is selected. (Figure 8)
