This attribute is automatically populated from the source document for the "Warehouse Shipment" as per standard Business Central functionality but can be changed if required. 

This is copied to the Consignment via the posted shipment and will appear on most shipping agent's consignment labels so that the recipient knows which purchase order etc. to book in against

The Date that the Consignment is expected to be shipped on.

Note: that the consignment submission will fail if this is in the past

This is relevant for Export Consignments only.

It determines if duty is payable by the organisation consigning (i.e. you) or recipient of the consignment (i.e. your customer). This is indicated by the Duty not Paid flag against each "Shipment Method". The "Shipment Method" will default from the source document on the first line of the warehouse shipment and cannot be different per line.

Will be set to the default service when the Warehouse Shipment is created, unless a specific one was specified on the Sales Order.

The defaults will depend on if the Export flag is set to Yes, if so, the International default service will be used rather than the Domestic default.

Calculated by taking the Gross Weight from the "Item Card" for each Item and multiplying by the Qty. to Ship (Base) on each line, then adding the result up for all the Warehouse Shipment lines.

This means that this is only populated when a pick is registered for warehouses where picking is being used.

In a similar method to the Weight to Ship, this attribute is calculated using the Cubage field from the Item Unit of Measure table, multiplied by the Quantity to Ship on each line.

This will only be populated once picks have been registered if they are in use.

This is automatically set set dependent on the lowest classification of Items on the warehouse shipment.

Shipment classifications are only needed for Dangerous Goods declarations so can be blank if you are not consigning hazardous goods.

This field defaults to zero and needs to be entered as the number of packages for which you need a shipping label.

You cannot exceed the number specified in the Max. Expected Packages attribute on the "Shipping Agent Integration Setup" screen so that users do not mistype quantities and consign excessive packages.

This is the only mandatory field for a Consignment and you see the following error if you try to post the shipment with this left as zero when using Shipping Agent Integration

Note: If Container Tracking is Enabled for the Location you are shipping from then this check will not be performed

This is always set to True if the Warehouse Shipment is for a Shipping Agent that is integration through Shipping Agent Integration. When set, it automatically creates a consignment for the items being shipped when the Warehouse Shipment is posted

This defaults to the ‘Submit Consignment’ setting shown on the relevant "Shipping Agent Card" screen.

If enabled, the system will automatically submit the created consignment to the Shipping Agent and if successful, print the package labels. In addition, if configured to do so, then an email will be sent to the consignment recipient after the warehouse shipment is posted.

This should be the default setting once the integration is working smoothly as it streamlines the shipment process

This will automatically open the Consignment screen and displays the Consignment that has been created from this warehouse shipment after the warehouse shipment has been posted.

This is useful if not auto submitting because a setting needs to be edited on the consignment itself. Remember the Warehouse Shipment screen will close immediately when fully posted, so this option enables the Consignment screen to be opened immediately, rather than you having to navigate to it manually.
