# Introduction

Creating a new booking facilitates the generation of a unique reference to initiate the shipment process while also serving as a starting point for organizing and tracking the goods.

The more preliminary data you input during the booking creation stage significantly reduces the workflow in the subsequent steps.

### Types of Bookings: 

There are four types:

1. **Normal**: is a booking that was not specifically created as a consolidated one, regardless of whether it is FCL or LCL.
2. **Consol:** as the name suggests, is a booking used to manage consolidations, and when created in the Own Consol option, it is confirmed as YES.
3. **Documental:** is used to group several existing Normal bookings within a Consol Booking that have the same consignee, to consolidate all the cargo from that consignee.
4. **Transitory:** is a booking that was previously Normal but has been grouped into a Documental booking, and as the name implies, it transitions from normal to documental.
