Handover Jobs

A handover job represents the handover of an order to the end consumer or parcel service provider and provides all the necessary information.

This page is outdated. Please go to our new documentation under https://docs.fulfillmenttools.com/documentation.

Despite general information like the order date, tenant order id or a reference to the corresponding facility a handover job carries handover relevant information like the handover channel (DELIVERY: will it be handed over to a parcel service provider or COLLECT: will it be handed over to the end customer) or handover job cancel reason (it was not handed over due to a no show of the customer, the order was cancelled, etc.).

Creating a Handover Job

A handover will automatically created when a parcel has changed to status FINISHED while the related Pick Job was in status CLOSED or a pick job has changed to status CLOSED and there is at least one Parcel of the related Shipment that is in status FINISHED.

Alternatively a Handover Job can be created via REST Api

While you can configure available refused reasons via the Handover Job Configuration, the reasons that are passed with this request will not be validated against those that have been configured. This gives you the flexibility between having e.g. free forms for the refused reasons as well as providing pre-defined ones for your clients.

Passing no reason is not allowed. To pass no reasons an appropriate reason (e.g. 'No Reasons') should be used.
