When you use the Split BL action (on page 1) from the Cargo Lots view (on page 1), N4 checks to ensure that all the selected cargo lots are associated with the same BL. However, you can use the Re-consign BL action to select cargo lots associated with different bills of lading and combine them into an existing or new BL. You can re-consign a bill of lading at the BL Item level or at the cargo lots level. To re-consign the BL at the BL item level, see BL Item Re-consign BL form (on page 1).

Prerequisites

To access the Actions Other Re-consign BL option you must have the Cargo Lot - Re-consign BL privilege.

To re-consign the cargo lots to another bill of lading:

In the Cargo Lots view (on page 1), select the cargo lot(s) you want to re-consign.

The Lot Type of the selected cargo lot(s) must not be Truck. A gate transaction can be associated with only one BL. If you re-consign the BL for a cargo lot on a truck, the cargo lot(s) associated with the new BL will not be associated with any active gate transaction and you will not be able to unload them from the truck.

Select Actions Other Re-consign BL.
In the Cargo Re-consign BL form:

Enter the target BL Number.

You can specify the ID of an existing BL or a new BL.

To partially re-consign the cargo lot to the specified BL, edit the value displayed in the Quantity field. However, the Quantity field does not display if you select multiple cargo lot in the list view.
Click Save.

If successful, N4:

Adds or updates the bill of lading in the Bills of Lading view (on page 1).
Adds a new cargo lot in the Cargo Lots view.
Adds a new unit in the Units view.
Records the CARGO_RECONSIGN event. If a cargo work order is available for the cargo item, N4 records this event against the cargo work order and also updates the Qty Completed and Status columns for the cargo work order item.

When you re-consign a BL, N4 enforces the following conditions:

The selected cargo lots may or may not be associated with the same BL.
The cargo lots may not belong to the same Bill of Lading item. Based on the commodity, packaging, and product type, N4 either uses an existing item or creates a new item.
If you select only one cargo lot, you can enter a partial quantity in the Cargo Re-consign BL form. However, if you have multiple cargo lots selected, you can specify only the target BL number and N4 assumes that the entire quantity of each of the selected cargo lots is moved to the target BL.
If present, N4 adds the transferred quantity to existing cargo lots for the same BL item and location otherwise it creates a new cargo lot for each BL item and location.
When you perform a cargo lot operation if the cargo lot quantity is adjusted to a value less than the work instruction quantity and if you confirm the cargo lot adjustment in the confirmation message dialog, N4 updates the the work instruction quantity to match with the cargo lot quantity.

Assume we have a cargo lot with quantity 100, and it has an existing work instruction for 100. If the lot quantity reduces to 80 when you perform the cargo lot operation (for example, recording damage), N4 updates the work instruction quantity to 80.

If the lot quantity reduces to zero due to any cargo lot operation and if you confirm the adjustment in the confirmation message dialog, N4 deletes the existing work instruction.
