Consol Booking
8min
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.
- 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.
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.

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