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

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.
