Subject: Re: [ubl-tsc] Question about consignments and shipments
Very helpful, Roberto. Thanks! Jon Roberto Cisternino wrote:
The "Shipment", when facilitated by an international freight forwarder, represents the whole end-to-end organization of the goods transport on behalf of the Shipper. A Shipment possibly involves one or more Carriers and related transport contracts (one or more consignments in a single shipment). The consolidated shipment is a transport optimization organized by the freight forwarder to ensure a given container is fully loaded (FCL - Full Container Load). This is to save money but also to provide a more competitive tariff. In a single container the freight forwarder can consolidate several consignments of different Shippers (AKA: grouppage) until the container is full. So we have these cases: a) 1 Shipment - 1 Consignment b) 1 Shipment - many Consignments (many carriers) of the same Shipper c) 1 Shipment - many Consignment of different Shippers (grouppage/consolidated shipment) d) Splitted shipment (huge shipment) even using different vessels (so pratically different consignments) Hope this helps, Ciao RobertoThe slides help a lot -- thanks. Perhaps we can put some version of this in the hubdoc? I'm still wondering about "consolidated shipment" (Consignment. Consolidated_ Shipment. Shipment). Is this one of the shipments shown in slide 5, or is this something else that combines a set of shipment pieces into a synthetic shipment for some legal purpose?

I note that a consignment (row 284) can contain multiple shipments (under the name "Consignment. Consolidated_ Shipment. Shipment", row 344), but I also note that every shipment (row 1672) can contain multiple consignments (under the name Shipment. Consignment, row 1694). This has something to do with the notion of consolidation, but I can't figure out what. Are consignments collections of shipments, or are shipments collections of consignments? And what does this have to do with consolidation?
