A consignment note is used when goods are dispatched to an agent through transporters. It is a document that accompanies a shipment of goods and provides details about the contents of the shipment, the parties involved in the shipment, and the terms of the shipment. It serves as proof of receipt of the goods by the carrier and is used to track the shipment from its point of origin to its destination. The consignment note includes information such as the name and address of the sender and recipient, a description of the goods, the quantity and weight of the goods, the mode of transport, and any special instructions or requirements for the shipment.
