# 8. Shipments Inbound

## Shipments Inbound

Read this section to understand how to view, manage and accept a shipment of diamonds.

### Overview

As a retailer, you can view a list of pending diamond shipments sent to you from manufacturers. To add the diamonds in a shipment to your inventory, you must accept ownership.

> **Note:** When you receive and accept ownership of a diamond in a shipment from a manufacturer, you become the owner and the diamond is transferred to your inventory. If you reject a diamond, the diamond remains in the manufacturer’s inventory.

If you are a manufacturer, you can view shipments of diamonds sent from producers. You must then either accept or reject the shipment. If accepted, use the **Integration Tool** to upload diamonds against the shipment.

### Active shipments

Active (pending) shipments are diamond transfers from a producer or manufacturer where you have been selected as the recipient.

#### View active (pending) shipments

The **Active** tab lists the active (pending) shipments sent to you from a producer or manufacturer. Active shipments have diamonds which have not been transferred, rejected, or cancelled.

* For a shipment of rough diamonds from a producer, you must either accept or reject the shipment; if accepted, you must then upload diamonds.
* For a shipment of polished diamonds from a manufacturer, you must either accept or reject each diamond in the shipment. When you receive and accept ownership of a polished diamond in a shipment, you become the owner and the diamond is transferred to your inventory.

To view active shipments:

* From the Tracr menu, select **Shipments > Inbound**.\
  The **Active** tab lists the collections of diamonds (shipments) available for transfer.

## Columns

By default, the outbound shipments table displays a standard set of columns. You can customise the display and add additional columns to view more information, as required.

> **Note:** Tracr remembers your column selections for inbound and outbound shipments screens when you sign out.

2. Choose the columns that you want to display.
   {% endstep %}

{% step %}

2. Select **Restore columns to default**.
   {% endstep %}
   {% endstepper %}

**Active shipment information**

For each active (pending) shipment, Tracr displays the following information:

* **Sender** - The name of the sender.
* **Shipment ID** - The ID assigned to the shipment when it was created.
* **Date sent** - The date the transfer was sent.
* **Shipment name** - The name given to the shipment when it was created.
* **Total diamonds** - The number of diamonds in the shipment.
* **Total carats** - The total number of carats for all diamonds in the shipment.
* **Carat range** - The range of carat weights for all diamonds in the shipment.
* **Integration** - Displays the integration method (*Rough* or *Polished*) selected when the shipment was created.
* **Status** - The status of the shipment.
  * **Action required** - The shipment contains diamonds that have not been transferred, rejected, or cancelled. You need to accept or reject a rough shipment or select **View** to accept or reject diamonds in a polished shipment.
  * **Incomplete** - A rough shipment has been accepted and you now need to upload diamonds using the **Integration Tool**.
  * **Processing** - Tracr is processing one or more diamonds within a polished shipment.
* **Actions** - Use one of the following actions to process the shipment:
  * **Accept** - For rough diamonds, select **Accept** to accept the shipment.
  * **Reject** - For rough diamonds, select **Reject** to reject the shipment.
  * **Upload diamonds** - For rough diamonds, select **Upload diamonds** to upload diamonds against the shipment using the Integration Tool.
  * **View** - For polished diamonds, select **View** to accept ownership of the shipment or reject the transfer of diamonds to your inventory.

### Accept or reject a shipment of rough diamonds

For a shipment of rough diamonds from a producer, you must either accept or reject the shipment; if accepted, you must then upload diamonds.

* Accepting the shipment starts registration. Once processed by Tracr, you will then need to upload diamond data using the **Integration Tool** or API.
* Rejecting the shipment ends the registration process. Tracr notifies the sender that you have rejected the shipment. This process is irreversible.

To accept a shipment of rough diamonds:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Accept a rough shipment

Next to the shipment that you want to accept, in the **Actions** column, select **Accept**.\
To confirm that you want to accept the shipment, select the **Confirm** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### After accepting

Once accepted, you will need to upload the diamonds associated with that shipment using the **Integration Tool** or API.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

To reject a shipment of rough diamonds:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Reject a rough shipment

Next to the shipment that you want to reject, in the **Actions** column, select **Reject**.\
To confirm that you want to reject the shipment, select the **Confirm** button.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

### Accept a shipment of rough diamonds from a non-De Beers producer

If you are a manufacturer and want to confirm and upload the diamonds from a shipment sent by a non-De Beers producer, next to a rough shipment with the status 'Action required', select **Accept**, and then select **Confirm**.

Once accepted, you will need to upload the diamonds associated with that shipment. To do this, either upload the shipment data using a CSV file and the **Integration Tool** or upload the shipment data via the API, following the same procedure used for De Beers diamonds.

> **Important:** When uploading diamonds, instead of providing the box details from De Beers (such as sight, year, and box ID), you will need to provide the **Shipment ID** in the “box\_id” column. The **Shipment ID** appears on the **Active** tab, next to the **Sender**.

### Accept ownership of polished diamonds

To receive polished diamonds into your inventory, you must accept ownership of the shipment. To do this, you must review details of the shipment and choose the diamonds that you want to accept or reject.

> **Note:** To help identify the shipment, Tracr displays the name of the sender and shipment, the date and time sent, and the number of diamonds in the shipment on the **Active** tab.

#### View shipment details

You can view more information for each shipment listed on the **Active** tab prior to accepting or rejecting the shipment.

To view pending shipment details:

* Next to a shipment on the **Active** tab, select **View**.\
  Tracr displays the **Accept Ownership of Diamonds** page, which shows the status of each diamond in the shipment. You can reject or confirm ownership of any diamonds with the status 'Action required'.
