Logistics Optimization 
## Consolidated Shipments in IFS Cloud

 Stop shipping air. Combine multiple orders into a single logistics unit to reduce freight costs and simplify documentation.

 
---

 In high-volume distribution, treating every Customer Order as a separate shipment is a recipe for inefficiency. IFS Cloud’s **Consolidated Shipment** functionality allows you to decouple the "Sales" transaction from the "Logistics" execution, merging multiple orders into a single physical dispatch.

 ## The Logic: Decoupling Sales from Shipping

 Traditionally, 1 Order equals 1 Delivery. With Consolidated Shipments, the hierarchy changes. You gather multiple orders going to the same delivery address and process them as a single work package.

 
### The Operational Workflow

 1

 
##### Connect to Shipment

 Instead of releasing an order to "Pick," you connect multiple Customer Order Lines to a single **Shipment ID**.

 2

 
##### Consolidated Pick

 The warehouse receives a single Pick List (aggregated by location) rather than five separate lists for five orders.

 3

 
##### Pack into Structure

 Using **Handling Units** (HUs), you pack items from different orders onto the same Pallet (Parent HU).

 4

 
##### Single Dispatch

 You execute the "Complete" command once. This triggers the printing of one Bill of Lading (BoL) and one Consolidated Delivery Note.

 
## Handling Units: The Enabler

 Consolidation is impossible to manage effectively without **Handling Units**. In IFS Cloud, HUs allow you to define the physical structure (e.g., Box A and Box B go onto Pallet X).

 **Pro Tip:** Use "Automatic Packing" rules in IFS to let the system propose how to pack consolidated items based on volume and weight constraints.

 ### Why Consolidate?

 
- **Lower Freight Costs:** Pay for one LTL shipment instead of 5 small parcels.
- **Less Paperwork:** Single Bill of Lading and CMR.
- **Dock Efficiency:** One truck, one loading time.

 Configuration Check

 Before starting, ensure:

 
- Shipment Management enabled in Site settings.
- Handling Unit Types defined (Pallet, Euro-Pallet, Box).
- "Shipment Creation" set to Optional or Automatic on Customer record.

 ## Consolidation FAQs

 ## 

 Generally, a **Shipment** in IFS Cloud is tied to a single delivery address (one customer). To group goods for *different* customers onto one truck, you should use the **"Consolidated Load"** (Load Management) functionality, which sits a layer above the Shipment.

 ## 

 You have a choice. You can either print a separate Delivery Note for each Customer Order contained in the shipment, or configure a **Consolidated Delivery Note** that lists all items from all orders on a single document.

 ## 

 Yes, as long as the Shipment Status is not yet "Completed" or "Closed." You can connect a new order line, pick it, and add it to the existing Handling Unit structure before final dispatch.
