Hi Fellow TMS Users,
I am wondering how other institutions have set up shipping records for incoming loans for special traveling exhibitions and if any one can offer suggestions. Here at the BMA although we have been using the Shipping Module, during the next year will be using Shipping for the first time for a BMA organized Special Exhibition of over 75 objects.

1) For incoming loans from different lenders, do you set up one shipping record per loan and then enter Lender as the "Shipped from" Constituent?

2) Let's say there are 4 incoming loans from CA and are to be picked up by the same carrier and consolidated at their warehouse and delivered to your institution. Would you add all 4 loans to one shipping record? If so, would you enter the shipper as the "Shipped From" constituent AND as the Carrier on the Steps card?

I appreciate any advice! Thanks, Stephanie
