Shipping invoices allow you to generate a list of artworks for a shipment, as well as allowing you to auto-populate these details into the artwork record as a consignment or loan agreement would. This article will show you how to create a shipping invoice.
It is important to note that when you generate the document, this will trigger the following shipping and location details in the artworks to update if they are filled in. If needed you can always keep this in draft mode, and generate the document through the activity timeline when the time comes.

Any past location and shipping details will automatically get moved to the corresponding history fields
