Consignment Row Extra Fields = This list is used to "re-name" the Extra 1 and Extra 2 fields available from the consignment creation Consignment items section; use the column selector to add in these fields if needed.

Keep in mind that these are simply text fields and changing the name does not change the way these fields operate fundamentally.

An example might be deliveries to Bunnings as they only allow deliveries at certain times. If you arrive outside of the specified times they may not accept your delivery.
