Create Multi-Shipment labels

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step-by-Step Label Creation for Multi-Coli

Goal: The goal of this document is to describe, how to create labels for a so called Multi-Coli shipment using the 7S label API.

Definition: Multi-Coli is an order which is split and shipped in multiple packages. The split may occur due to weight or size of the individual packages/parcels. All packages belong to the same order but receive separate labels with their unique reference number.

Note: Before creating Multi-Coli shipments, please note the following:

reference_number has to be unique overall/across all orders, hence can only be used once
