What is Multiple Order Shipment Consolidation?

 

Consolidation of shipments is the process of combining many smaller shipments from different-2 senders to reduce transport charges. The goods are transported in one container, which allows for reducing the shipping price. These types of shipments are also referred to as LCL – Less than Container Load. 



We are supporting fast-growing companies with at least 5-10k orders/month looking to scale quickly! WorkSeer, a CEVA Logistics company, is a world leader in fulfilment and logistics.

Order Shipping Consolidated is a method of shipping where a consolidator combines individual LCL shipments from various shippers into one full container shipment. 

 

This article presents a scenario where multiple orders are released to the warehouse in the same automated release-to-warehouse periodic procedure. The orders will automatically be consolidated into shipments, based on rules that are defined as Multiple Order Shipment Consolidation policies.

 

During the scenario, you will create sets of sales orders and release each set to the warehouse. You will then review the shipments that are created or updated during shipment consolidation, based on the configured policies.

The scenario that is described here assumes that you've already turned on the feature, done the exercises in Configure shipment consolidation policies, and created the policies and other records that are described there. Be sure to do those exercises before you continue with this scenario.

 

Where one or more sales lines must be by hand released to the warehouse from the Release to warehouse page, and the system-defined shipment consolidation policy must be overridden before the release. An override of the shipment consolidation policy might be required if, for example, an order that isn't usually consolidated with open shipments must be consolidated with open shipments.

 

During the scenario, you will create a set of sales orders and then override the default shipment consolidation policy before you release the orders to the warehouse.
