Dispatch Details:
Type in a reference in the main reference field (this helps identify the consignment when it is invoiced).
Input any cost centres if required by your business.
Input any 3rd Party Charge Account Numbers if this will be charged to another entity. (Please check with your account manager for more information)

Creating an Outbound consignment defaults the Pick Up Address to be your account's physical or warehouse address.
Delivery Address:
Click on the receiver name found under the delivery address banner and fill in the required delivery details.
Create Shipping Items
For each physical freight that you're going to send:
Fill in the description (ie carton, satchel) and then enter the dimensions of the shipping unit (length, width & height) in centimeters,
Populate the amount of items & the weight (kgs) of the item/s and then click add. If you have multiple items of differing sizes, enter each individually.
As of June 2019, OneFlo now requires a Packaging Type for each freight item that is sent. Albeit being a required field, you only need to fill this in the first time for your existing defined Shipping Items and it will be saved for future use. If you don't use OneFlo - My Shipping Items, you will be required to populate a packaging type for ad-hoc freight items.
Dangerous Goods:
If the items contain materials classified as Dangerous Goods, please click on the DG box and fill in the required details and Add DG.
If you have no Dangerous Goods to declare, continue on ticking the I declare there are no DGs, proceed

If you're account is enabled for Consolidation,
there is a tick box at the bottom left hand side of the screen.
Tick if you want this consignment to be consolidated to a previous consignment (based on Receiver details, Carrier Service) dependent on whether the Carrier Service will also allow it. (Priority services typically only allow 1 item per Consignment)
Untick if you don't want the new consignment to consolidate to an existing consignment or have it consolidate to any future consignment.
Once all the above are finalised, click on the Save button.
A Quote Screen will then appear, listing services and rates from cheapest to most expensive. Click on your preferred service and then click save.
Labels and consignments will popup on your screen which can be printed to the printers that have been configured by your IT department.
