Finalize a Deutsche Post order
Closes the current open order/box and generates AWB (Air Waybill) documents for all parcels in that box.
How it works:
- As you create Deutsche Post International parcels, they are automatically added to the current box (identified by the current box_number).
- When the box is full or you’re ready to ship, call this endpoint to finalize the box.
- The finalization process:
- Generates a single AWB label that is shared by all parcels in the finalized box
- Attaches the AWB label to all parcels in the box
- Increments the box_number, automatically starting a new box for subsequent parcels
- You can create and finalize multiple boxes throughout the day as needed.
Important notes:
- Each box has its own unique AWB label
- All parcels within a single box share the same AWB label
- The AWB document can be retrieved from any parcel that was in the finalized box
- New parcels created after finalization will be added to the new box
