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.

Easy Trade Engines (API) Integrations with Workseer

 When creating applications and systems for business, developers seldom want to have to start from scratch. Instead, they find that their time is more effectively used when they rely on existing infrastructure, designing their application to take advantage of proven resources that are already firmly in place. And similar to how the creator of a new home appliance will incorporate a pre-existing plug design so that it can function using common power sockets, developers rely on application programming interfaces (APIs) to “plug” their apps into existing company networks.



Our application connectors allow users to integrate ERPs or any order management systems with the WorkSeer platform. Since the Workseer application is a bolt-on system that is dependent on the data feed from the ERPs or the legacy system having the Order, Parties, and the Product information and so Workseer works with customers to develop the connectors needed to seamlessly integrate the client's order management system with the Workseer system.

 

 

What is an API?

The API is a collection of tools, definitions, and protocols designed to assist in building and integrating new application software.

One way to think of an API is as a kind of menu; developers can browse through a list of available options for inclusion in their apps, along with descriptions of what function each option performs. They can then select the operations they wish to include based on functionality, without necessarily having to fully understand how these options are built or presented.

In other words, APIs allow developers to make more efficient use of their time, reducing the necessary amount of coding work and promoting consistency across all applications interacting with the same systems and platforms. Trade Engines (API) Integrations allows two or more APIs to easily share data and functionality with each other seamlessly and securely, and without direct human involvement

The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) sets out the tariff rates and statistical categories for all merchandise imported into the United States. The HTS is based on the international Harmonized System, which is the global system of nomenclature applied to most world trade in goods.

U.S. Customs and Border Protection administer the HTS at U.S. ports of entry and also provide advice and rulings on matters relating to the classification of imports.



The Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTS) was enacted by Congress and made effective on January 1, 1989, replacing the former Tariff Schedules of the United States.

 

 

The USITC maintains and publishes the HTS (in print and on-line) pursuant to the Omnibus Trade and Competitiveness Act of 1988; see the preface to the HTS for additional explanatory material. However, Customs and Border Protection of the Department of Homeland Security is responsible for interpreting and enforcing the HTS.  

 

The HTS provides the appropriate tariff rates and statistical categories for all merchandise imported into the United States.

 

It is created on the International Harmonized System, which is the global classification system that is used to describe most world commodities.
