Consignments — FAQ
What is a consignment in LumberLinq?
A consignment is a movement record for timber goods. It can include parties, route details, Stock Units, documents, invoice values, payments, status, and export/share controls.
Which consignment types are supported?
The supported types are Export, Import, Domestic Sale, Domestic Purchase, and Trading.
Can I search consignments by BL number?
Yes. Use the global search or the BL number column filter on the Consignments list.
What actions are available from the consignment list?
The list provides view, share, download/export, edit, payment quick panel, and delete actions.
Why can I not add a Stock Unit to a consignment?
Only eligible units can be linked. If a Stock Unit has not been received into inventory, the system blocks assignment. Receive the unit into inventory first, then add it to the consignment.
Can I upload consignment documents?
Yes. The Documents tab supports document numbers and file uploads for consignment-related document categories.
Can I see consignment parties clearly?
Yes. The Consignment Info tab shows shipper, consignee, notify party, exporter reference, buyer order, origin, and destination fields.
Can I track payments?

Can I export a consignment?
Yes. The export dialog supports format and visibility options, including Excel, PDF, and bundle-style export choices.
Can I share consignment details with another party?
Yes. The share action supports public, protected, and private links with expiry, access limits, download permission, and document access settings.
What happens when a consignment is locked?
The consignment is marked as locked and normal editing is prevented.
Where do inventory and reconciliation fit?
Inventory controls whether Stock Units are available for a consignment. The Inventory Overview, In/Out ledger, adjustment dialog, processing runs, reconciliation report, and inventory report support consignment readiness and stock visibility.
Is the Consignments module mobile responsive?
Yes. The Consignments list adapts to a narrow viewport for search, review, and follow-up actions.
