Creating Consignments/Shipments

This article covers the different ways consignments can be created in Transvirtual.

Relevant detailed pages:

Create a Consignment via Web Portal

Navigate to Transport > Operational Tasks > Consignments > Create New
Complete all required fields
Click Save

A success message appears at the top of the page when the consignment is created.

If required fields are left empty, an error message appears. Complete the missing fields and click Save again.

Create a Consignment via EDI Import

Navigate to Import/Export > Data Import > Consignments

This area allows you to configure Consignment Import Rules, which define how external systems can send data into your Transvirtual account to create consignments.

For detailed setup instructions, see the Consignment EDI Import guide or the EDI Import setup video.

Create a Consignment via API

To get started with the Transvirtual API, see the API Getting Started guide.

Share this link with external customers who need to create consignments via the API. Before they begin, provide them with:

The customer name/code for the account they will use
An Auth Token, available in your Transvirtual account under Configuration > General > Global Setup > General tab > API

Can Customers Create Consignments for Any Customer in My Account?

No. Customer users can only see and create consignments for the customer accounts they have been added to.
