Outgoing Warehouse Movements (Sale Orders) can be converted into Transport Jobs (Consignments) immediately upon packing completion (or even before they're packed).
This allows the Warehouse and Transport sides of CartonCloud to work together without the need for manual data entry or intervention.
Additionally, you can also set CartonCloud up to transfer Sale Order Product types to the Consignment as well as the Volume and Weight.

To configure Sale Order Consignment Settings, navigate to Customers → { select the customer you want } → Edit.

This option enables you to specify the Sender Address for the automatically generated consignments. If nothing is provided here it defaults to the address of your Warehouse.
