Delete a consignment

if an order is cancelled before the corresponding consignment is manifested, you might want to delete the consignment.

The status of the consignment affects how the delete operation works. If the status is UNALLOCATED, the operation simply deletes the consignment. However, if the status is ALLOCATED or PRINTED or READY TO MANIFEST, the operation first deallocates the consignment and then deletes it.
