** If you have created a nomination from a voyage parcel and wish to add additional voyage parcels to the same nomination, please continue reading. **
In order to add voyage parcels to your nomination, they have to share the same Trip number. Please note that if a Trip number was created externally, this cannot be changed and adding parcels will not be possible.
7. Select the checkbox of the parcel you wish to add
8. Select the drop-down arrow of the nomination you wish to add the parcel to -- select "Add Parcels to Nomination"
9. A pop-up will appear, check the parcel you wish to add and select "Add"
10. Fill in the nomination parcel information and save and issue
11. Your view should now look like this where both parcels share the same nomination number:
Why would having the parcels on the same nomination matter?
One of the big reasons is that it plays a big part of how inspection companies can submit their invoice. If the same inspection company is nominated for multiple parcels on one voyage, if the parcels share the same nomination number it will be possible for the inspection company to submit a consolidated invoice instead of creating a new invoice for each individual parcel. For example, if there are five parcels and they do not share the same nomination number, the inspection company will have to submit five separate invoices. As the nomination number is assigned upon nomination creation, it can no longer be changed once the nomination is live.
