What is it?
Consolidation is when you create multiple consignments with the same Connote level Information. There are a few detail that need to match on each consignment in order of them to consolidate:
Receiver:
The receiver details need to match. This includes the receiver contact information. If the contact details are different, this will cause the system to treat it as a different receiver.
Carrier & Service:
As long as the carrier AND service both allow consolidation.
Priority services typically only allow 1 item per Consignment and will not consolidate. Example, StarTrack Fixed Price Premium
Editing:
Editing a consignment after it is created will stop it from consolidating
Dangerous goods
OneFlo does not allow consolidation of Consignments with Dangerous Goods.
OneFlo will automatically consolidate future consignments into the original, ensuring you are never spending multiple "Base Costs" for each consignment.
