Consolidated Invoicing Flag

This field indicates whether you want to use the Consolidated Invoicing feature to bill this shipment on an invoice with other shipments for the same bill-to customer.  Valid values are:

Y - Consolidated invoicing requested.  Order shipments will be shipped without automatic invoice generation.  Invoices may be generated collectively at a later time through the Consolidated Billing conversation. 

N - Consolidated invoicing not requested for this order shipment.  An invoice will be created automatically when the order shipment is shipped. 

If nothing is entered and you are using the Open Order Shipping/Billing conversation, the consolidated invoicing flag will default from the value entered on the Sales Order Maintenance Header.  If nothing is entered and you are using the Open Order Billing conversation, the consolidated invoicing flag will default from the value entered on the Shipping Workbench Select screen.  The value can be overridden on this screen prior to shipping a line.
