Examples
Below, you can see how to build the “shipment hierarchy” for different shipment scenarios.Single package
A single package will have a transport label printed on the physical package and list a single transport unit in digital form. Physical
Multiple packages
A shipment with multiple package will have a transport label printed on every package and one transport unit listed per package in digital form. Physical
Single pallet (homogeneous or mixed content)
A shipment that consists of a single pallet will have a single transport label printed on the pallet shrink wrap. In digital form, a single transport unit is listed and the amount of cartons on the pallet is communicated via thecontainedTradeUnitCount
parameter.
Physical

Sandwich pallet (homogenous pallets stacked)
A pallet that is made up of multiple homogeneous “layers” (sandwich pallet) receives N+1 transport labels. One label on the shirk wrap of the whole stacked pallet and one label per layer. The same is true for the digital form: Transport units describing the different “layers” are contained within a wrapping transport unit describing the whole stacked pallet. Physical

Multiple pallets (homogeneous or mixed content)
Shipments that consist of multiple pallets of either homogeneous or mixed content are handled similar to multiple packages. One transport label is attached to every physical pallet and in digital form one transport unit is used for every pallet. Physical
