Kaufland Shipment Notices
List view of all shipment notices to Kaufland. Each entry represents an order line (order unit) with carrier, tracking number, and send status – whether already submitted or still waiting.
How Shipment Notices Are Created
Shipment notices run through the central merchantCENTRAL tracking, as with all marketplaces:
- A tracking number is created for a Kaufland order – by a shipping label, by a supplier (drop shipment), or manually via Add Tracking Number on the posted shipment.
- For each line of the order that still needs to be shipped, a shipment notice is queued (Sent to Kaufland = no). Another package of the same order adds its tracking number to the waiting notice.
- The scheduled task SYNC-SHIPMENTS (or the action Send Shipment Notices) sends the waiting notices to Kaufland. If Kaufland rejects a notice, it remains with the reason in Error Message and is sent again in the next run. After five rejections, it waits for Send Again: first fix the reason in Error Message, for example the carrier in the carrier mapping. A new tracking number or a new shipping agent also gives it a new chance. If Kaufland does not respond, reports a server error, or rejects the keys, this does not count as a rejection: the notice waits with the reason and goes out again in the next run.
The result is also shown on the merchantCENTRAL tracking entry (Synced to Marketplace). Every run that sent notices, or in which notices were rejected or failed, is recorded with these numbers in the merchantCENTRAL Activity Log; failed notices set the marketplace to “Error”. Rejected notices are shown on the Dashboard and in the merchantCENTRAL cockpit under Waiting for you.

Actions
| Action | Description |
|---|---|
| Send Shipment Notices | Sends all waiting shipment notices immediately instead of in the next run of the scheduled task. The message at the end names the notices sent, those waiting for the posted shipment, and those rejected, plus those on hold after five rejections. |
| Send Again | After a confirmation, resets Failed Attempts and Error Message of the selected notices that have not been sent yet, and sends them immediately. For notices that Kaufland has rejected five times – once the reason has been fixed. |
