sealType should not be mandatory

I've never seen seal type specified on a BL - it shouldn't be mandatory.

Hi @nissimsan,
I asked our P7 team about this and it is correct that it is not printed on a B/L. It is though still required to be registered in the carrier system and this is the reason it is mandatory.

Im also querying that sealType should not be mandatory, i'm looking specifically at implementing the Shipping Instructions from a Shipper/Forwarder perspective.

When the container is loaded all that is reported back from the load site is

• Container Number
• Seal Number
• Weights etc depending on type of business

The actual type of seal used (provided by carrier to haulier for carrier haul) is not reported, so asking the Shipper to provide this in the Shipping Instruction process I feel maybe problematic to achieve, without the inevitable instruction 'alway a bolt seal so default to that'

"sealType":{
                           "type":"string",
                           "description":"The type of seal. This attribute links to the Seal Type ID defined in the Seal Type reference data entity.\n- KLP (Keyless padlock)\n- BLT (Bolt)\n- WIR (Wire)\n",
                           "enum":[
                              "KLP",
                              "BLT",
                              "WIR"
                           ]
                        }
