Reinstating a Deleted Consignment

The Reinstate function in Cario allows users to restore a consignment that was previously deleted, provided it has not been manifested.

This is useful when a consignment was deleted accidentally or needs to be recovered without recreating it from scratch.

When Can a Consignment Be Reinstated?

A consignment can be reinstated when:

It was deleted from the Consignments → Maintain screen

It has not been manifested

The carrier has not received the booking

A consignment cannot be reinstated when:

It was already manifested before deletion
It has been finalised and processed by the carrier

Why Reinstate a Consignment?

Reinstating consignments is helpful when:

A consignment was deleted by mistake

The booking is required again

You want to recover all shipment details, references, and dimensions

Recreating the consignment manually would be time-consuming

Reinstating restores the consignment exactly as it was before deletion.

How to Reinstate a Deleted Consignment (Step-by-Step)

Go to Consignments
Select Reinstate
Locate the deleted consignment
(use filters or search if required)
Click the reinstate icon next to the consignment
A confirmation action will be applied
A notification banner will appear confirming the consignment has been reinstated

Once reinstated, the consignment will return to an unmanifested (Created) status.

What Happens After Reinstatement?

After reinstating:

The consignment becomes available in Consignments → Maintain

All original shipment details are preserved

The consignment can be updated, copied, or manifested

No carrier booking is triggered automatically

Important Notes

Reinstated consignments are restored as unmanifested

Always review shipment details before manifesting

Reinstatement does not notify carriers

If changes are required, update the consignment before manifesting
