This method is used the to merge shipments into one or more salesorder(s). All methods work the same: a code is generated based on the method, and using this code Transpas looks whether a similar salesorder exists where (apart from this code) the following applies:
- The EDI provider of the shipment matches the imported shipment. Shipments therefore can't be added to manually created shipments.
- The customer of the shipment must match, note that this can be overridden using the settings of the EDI provider.
- The company of both shipments must be the same.
- The status of the shpiment can't be "Canceled" or "Invoiced".
- The department must be the same.
- The exteranl department must match (or both must be empty).
Now follows a short explanation of the option that are most widely used.
| No consolidation | Every shipment is also one booking, this is the standard setting when no choice is made. |
| Booking per EDI reference of booking | Here a booking is made for each unique EDI reference of the imported shipments. Updates of shipments aren't really possible because multiple shipments can have the same EDI reference. |
| Manual (using SQL procedure) | In the field "Booking consolidation SQL procedure" you can enter the SQL code for this procedure. |
This method can be linked to the EDI provider but it can be set per relation through the tab sheet Relations on the EDI Provider screen.
