FAQ: What logic is used for linking shipment records?
If multiple documents talk about the same shipment, how do they get connected in the 7bridges software?
Shipment records
The enhanced shipment view provides a consolidation of all the latest data related to a shipment i.e. multiple records of the same shipment which have been generated based on invoices, bookings etc. Each individual related record is called a child shipment record in the 7bridges software.
A child shipment record is linked to the enhanced shipment view if the following attributes match:
- Tracking number
- Ship dates within +/- 7 days
⚠️ If a ship date is omitted from an invoice or other shipment document, this shipment will not be able to be linked to any other shipment records with the the same tracking number.
