      How can I change the shipment type?

      You can change the shipment type in the Extras menu of a shipment.

      Sometimes it may be necessary to change the type of a shipment afterwards. The shipment type can be changed without having to cancel and re-enter the shipment.

      Keep in mind that not all shipment types can be changed, and sometimes shipment details need to be change before you can proceed.

      Master with consolidated house shipment
      When changing a back-to-back shipment to a consolidated house shipment, the IATA-AWB data of the back-to-back shipment is transferred to the new consolidated shipment. All other shipment data will be transferred to the house shipment. The house shipment is consolidated to the new master shipment
