# 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)** 

1. Go to **Consignments**
2. Select **Reinstate**
3. Locate the deleted consignment   
   (use filters or search if required)
4. Click the **reinstate icon** next to the consignment

5. A confirmation action will be applied
6. 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
