Step 12. Create a shipment
Order processing with Inventory Management
In the previous step, the SSA recommended shipping 20 24-WB01 items and 19 24-WB03 items from Baltimore. It also recommended shipping 31 24-WB03 items from Reno.
You can always override the SSA recommendations. It would be valid, for example, to ship all the 24-WB01 items and 42 24-WB03 items from Reno, leaving 8 24-WB03 items to be shipped from Baltimore.
Fulfilling the order requires two partial shipments (unless you want to create a scenario that also involves the Austin warehouse). In this example, we’ll follow the SSA recommendations.
When you complete a partial or full shipment, Magento deducts the reserved products from corresponding sources.
Recommended: Ship using POST /V1/order/:orderId/ship
Although you can use the POST V1/shipment endpoint to create a shipment, the POST /V1/order/:orderId/ship endpoint is a better option in that it is more efficient and the payload can be simpler.
Ship from the Baltimore warehouse
We’ll ship 20 24-WB01 items and 19 24-WB03 items from the Baltimore warehouse. The order_item_id value for 24-WB01 is 3, and the value for 24-WB03 is 4.
Endpoint:
POST <host>/rest/us/V1/order/3/ship
where 3 is the orderid
