Hi Team,

Good day.

I am working on a usecase where a hardware delivery order with multiple shipments needs to be handled. Currently, TMF700 Shipping Order API is exposed through which logistics is receiving shipmentItem SKU and quantity within the shippingOrderItems. When the shipping order is progressed to supply chain provider or courier, delivery is splitted into multiple shipments or consignments. Assume a case where quantity is 100. Courier partner is returning multiple shipment tracking details associated with the shipment item as all 100 items are not going in single shipment. Current model for shipment tracking within the shipment is an object and cannot hold multiple tracking details. Could you please suggest?

Hi Tony

I think that the shipment is intended to be per parcel/package, so if the quantity (100) exceeded a single parcel, then multiple shipments would be required from the same delivery/courirer partner and hence one tracking number per shipment.  The shipping order would then associate the multiple shipments within the single shipping order.  Clearly multiple items may be packaged in a single shipment (parcel) as necessary.
