Two Shipment Processing Flows Overview
Skupreme supports two outbound shipment processing flows that determine how carton and pallet data is managed and transmitted to the LYB WMS.
Flow A: User-Defined Cartons
- User creates a shipment using predefined carton attribute data (e.g., dimensions, weight, quantity).
- Carton details are sent to the LYB WMS API.
- Carton and shipping labels are generated and sent to the LYB carton labels endpoints.
- For LTL shipments:
- Warehouse prepares pallets and triggers a confirmation webhook once complete.
- Skupreme receives the webhook and retrieves pallet details via the status endpoint.
- Pallet labels are then generated and sent to LYB via the appropriate label endpoints.
- Warehouse prepares pallets and triggers a confirmation webhook once complete.
Flow B: Quantity-Based Shipments
- User creates a shipment by specifying item quantities only, without predefined cartons.
- Shipment details are sent to the LYB WMS API.
- The warehouse is responsible for cartonization and palletization.
- Once complete, a confirmation webhook is triggered by LYB.
- Skupreme retrieves carton/pallet data from the status endpoint.
- Final step: Shipment confirmation is sent (e.g., FBA APIs updated), and all labels are returned to LYB via the carton/pallet labels endpoints.
📝 Notes
- Use Flow A when carton dimensions are known in advance and strict label control is required.
- Use Flow B when flexibility is needed at the warehouse level for carton/pallet configuration.
- Both flows support integration with FBA and LYB systems and include full webhook + label feedback loops.
