Hi Phil:
We use this field for a different purpose. We send goods to customers "under consignment agreement", and we use this field to identify these kind of shipments to customers (that's what we understood from field's name, and so far works OK).
What is needed, I think, is a different field recording the number of the shipment. as soon as one shipment is delayed, customer will contact supplier (us) and ask us to track and check, and blah blah, so we have to be able to track it down.
A second nice step would be to link directly the shipper's webpage, so we can check the shipment with a single click.
Commited as a new field in debtortrans in SVN as rev6192.
Pls check if it is OK. Now we should print it somewhere, probably at the invoice.
