Consignments Workspace

Use this workspace to maintain information about the consignments to be shipped.

In the Consignments tab you can enter the destination, consignment mode, date, and several other pieces of information about the consignment. Maconomy maintains the Sales Orders sub-tab and displays information about amounts, quantities, and delivery status of the orders and any quotes that are assigned to the current consignment.

You assign orders and quotes to a consignment in the Quote and Sales Orders workspaces, where you can specify a consignment number manually or have Maconomy assign the quote or order to a consignment. You can also assign quote and order lines to consignments individually, but the Sales Orders sub-tab only displays quotes and orders where the header is assigned to the current consignment.

Maconomy can create consignments automatically on the dates when they are required. You do this by specifying a starting date and an interval on one or several lines in the sub-tab of the Destination Card workspace. When assigning quotes and orders automatically to a consignment, Maconomy checks whether it can create a consignment with a packing date before the packing dates of existing consignments. See "Appendix B: Assign Quote/Order to Consignment" for more information about assigning orders to a consignment. The functionality of starting dates and intervals is explained in the Destination Information Card workspace.
