# Create a parcels report

> Generate a CSV report containing information about outgoing or incoming parcels.

The parcels included in the report will depend on the `filters` provided, and the columns will be determined by the `fields` parameter.

Use this endpoint to create the report and obtain the report `id`, which you will use to obtain the actual CSV download via the [Retrieve a parcels report](/api/v2/reporting/retrieve-a-parcels-report) endpoint.
