Consolidation

Consolidation is a technique where consignments with matching data such as delivery address, shipping agent etc. are combined into one single consignment. Consolidation is activated in, and carried out by, Logtrade. When a prepared consignment exists in Logtrade, new matching consignments sent to Logtrade are automatically consolidated to that consignment. When Logtrade Connect in Business Central discovers that consolidation has occured, the packages in the consignment are moved to the consolidation consignment.
