README

The Netresearch Shipping Dispatch extension provides a framework for dispatching shipments. Carrier modules can build upon it to provide shipment manifestation as part of their shipping fulfillment process.

Description

The extension introduces a new Dispatch entity. A dispatch collects packages/labels that were created for shipments. The dispatch can then be manifested for preparing the handover of packages to the courier/postal facility. This is also referred to as close-out. Depending on the carrier capabilities, this usually results in some sort of dispatch documentation (handover note, manifest).

The extension provides data schema and UI integration. The necessary API calls (manifest labels, download documentation, cancel manifestation) are to be implemented by the carrier module.

Requirements

  • PHP >= 7.1.0

Compatibility
