A consignment can be created automatically for a Warehouse Shipment or manually from a Posted Sales Shipment or the Consignment itself.
Note: the creation of Consignments is detailed in the Manually Creating Consignments section.
When Consignments are created automatically, the majority of fields will be automatically populated for you based on the values defined in the equivalent fields on the source document or the default options defined against the Shipping Agent being used.
There are a few exceptions to this rule which are described below.
| Content Description Field | When submitting ‘International’ Consignments, this field will need to be completed with a brief description of what items are being sent in the Consignment |
| Apply Liability Field | This field will be automatically populated with the default option selected against the Shipping Agent being used on the Consignment, but it can be changed for a specific Consignment if required |
