CCI - Data Efficacy
The CCI Specification will allow for a bare minimum consignment information. While a consignment will be created successfully in OneFlo, the requisite fields may differ depending on the business requirement.
The table below will assist on determining which fields are mandatory if the business has a requirement defined in the first column:
