Consol Booking

8min

Introduction

A Consolidated Booking, unlike a normal or "individual" booking, combines multiple LCL shipments into one container at a warehouse, streamlining operations and ensuring efficient handling with specific procedures.

In this guide, we will learn how to handle Consol Bookings as they differ from other shipments.

Conditions

  • A Consol Booking can only exist if a Booking incorporates other individual bookings.
  • The Port Order Type "SAC" is only applicable to Consol Shipments.
  • All the bookings involved (Consol and individuals) must have an existing sea route that is correctly filled.
  • One shipment can only be added to one consolidated booking.

What I learned

1

A Consol Booking is established only under the condition that it includes other individual bookings.

2

When creating the route for a Consol Booking, include only the cargo details related to the container (s) and not individual details for each booking.

3

Port Order type SAC is the only one associated with Consol Bookings.

4

The system will block any attempt to add a shipment that already exists in another Consol.
