Pre-Advice Entry
For entering a pre-advice manually, or if you open an EDI/VCIS pre-advice you will see the same screens, the EDI pre-advice will have more details completed and filled out and you may just be able to hit save straight away, manually entered pre-advices start with a blank form ready for information to be entered.
Header Entries
