The following describes what you can do with carrier consignments that were either automatically created during pick list confirmation (as described in Automatically create a carrier consignment during pick list confirmation) or manually entered (as described in Manually create a carrier consignment at any time). All carrier consignments are available and saved in Work with carrier consignments until manually deleted.
You might need to maintain a consignment should details have been entered incorrectly or if the customer cancels the order after pick list confirmation. If cancelled, you should create a credit/return order to reverse the stock movement and the invoice.
Note: After cancellation of an order, it is also necessary to remove the carrier consignment from the integration data file that is to be transmitted to the carrier’s system.
