Create Label

The Create Shipment Label Dialog allows creating a shipping label directly from a sales order.

Opening the Dialog

  • Via the Sales Order → Action Create Shipment Label

Fields

Field Description
Shipping Provider Selection of the provider (DHL, DPD, GLS, UPS, Rhenus).
Product Shipping product (e.g., DHL PAKET, UPS Standard).
Weight (kg) Package weight — automatically calculated from order lines and can be adjusted.

Workflow

  1. Select shipping provider and product
  2. Review weight (optionally adjust)
  3. Optionally click Validate — pre-validate the shipment (see below)
  4. Click OK — the label is created with the provider
  5. The tracking number is automatically assigned to the sales order

Packages (Multi-Colli)

When the selected shipping provider supports multi-colli (e.g. DHL), the dialog shows a Packages group — a list for capturing several cartons per shipment. Each carton produces its own shipment with its own shipment/tracking number and its own label.

  • On opening, one carton is pre-filled (default packaging, order weight) and already contains all order items — so a single-parcel shipment needs no further action.
  • Use New Line to add more cartons; selecting a packaging material fills in dimensions and tare automatically.

Distribute contents

The Contents action on a carton row opens the "Distribute Carton Contents" editor:

  • All order lines are pre-filled; enter the quantity in this carton per item.
  • The Remaining column shows live how much of an item is not yet assigned to any carton.
  • An empty carton takes over the open remaining quantity on opening — so additional cartons are filled by reducing earlier ones.
  • The carton weight is recalculated from the content: goods weight (gross-preferred) + the packaging material's tare.

Customs per carton

For international shipments the customs declaration is built per carton from its contents (item, quantity, HS code, country of origin, value, weight) — each carton travels with the declaration matching its own content.

On confirmation

  • Clicking OK checks whether the distributed quantities per item match the order quantity; a mismatch raises a confirmation prompt.
  • As many shipments are created as there are cartons; each tracking number is stored on the order.

Central package list

Every carton is stored as a package in the central list (content, weight, dimensions, tracking, label) — the basis for the warehouse client, reprints and analytics.

Action "Validate" (Pre-Validation)

The Validate action runs a pre-validation of the shipment without creating a label.

  • No label is created and no costs are incurred.
  • Validates exactly the address, weight and dimensions entered in the dialog.
  • Problems are shown in plain text with actionable hints.

This lets you catch address or data errors before generating a chargeable label.

Action "Create Label (1-Click)"

The Create Label (1-Click) action is available on the Sales Order Card and in the Sales Order List.

  • Creates the label immediately without opening the dialog.
  • Uses the default provider (order: shipping agent of the order → MC default provider → single active provider).
  • Product is resolved automatically, and shipping rules are applied.

Action "Create Labels (Batch)"

In the Sales Order List, the Create Labels (Batch) action processes all selected orders in a single run.

  • Bulk processing with a progress dialog.
  • Final summary (created / skipped / failed).
  • Fault-tolerant: a failing order does not stop the run.

Platform-wide

The Validate, Create Label (1-Click) and Create Labels (Batch) actions apply platform-wide to all shipment connectors (DHL, DHL Express, DPD, GLS, UPS, Rhenus, Hermes) — not only DHL.
