Shipment Consolidation

The
Shipment Consolidation
 screen transfers Bills of Lading (BOL) from one entry to another. This screen can be opened by choosing
ABI Shipment Consolidation
 from the
ABI
 menu.
Shipments can be consolidated by Invoice or Bill of Lading.
If consolidating by Bill Of Lading, then Bills of Lading can be assigned to an existing entry or a new entry.
If consolidating by Invoice, then Bills of Lading can only be assigned to an existing entry. This feature does not send a transmission to CBP.
If a shipment needs to be transferred from an existing entry, go to the grid below and check the box for each entry to be consolidated.
If the list needs to be narrowed down to find the correct entry/entries faster, the
Shipment Consolidation
 screen has a
Show/Hide Filter
 button and filtering capabilities. You can filter the entry number or any other column within the grid.
Go to the
Select to Assign
 section of the screen. Enter either a new Bill of Lading or select an existing Bill of Lading from the
Existing
 drop-down menu. Next, click
Submit
. After the consolidation is complete, the updated Bill of Lading should appear on the entry it was selected to be moved to.
If the Bill of Lading is added to a new entry, it will be given the next available entry number.
After the Bill of Lading is selected and submitted to a new entry, a message will appear at the top with the entry number it was added to. This link can be clicked and will redirect to the entry (Entry 7501 screen), in case you needs to make further edits.
The
Detail
 link on this screen will link you to the
Entry Summary
 screen to view the entry. If you wants to review the entry before transferring a Bill of Lading, then the
Detail
 link can be clicked.
