Please Note:
The first time you run PcLink after upgrading to Version 3.1 you will be prompted to download an updated copy of the state codes table. This download is required for the software to function fully. You should click on the "OK" in this message and follow the prompts to update your state code table.
For Puerto Rico to US Shipments:
- When entering a shipment that loads in Puerto Rico and discharges in the U.S., enter the U.S. date of arrival in the Departure Date field.
- For all other shipments you should continue to enter the date of departure from the U.S.
