What is the order in which shipment lines are added in the APIs - addToContainer and removeFromContainer?

Question & Answer


Question

When the shipment has one shipment line with bundle item and another shipment line with a component from the bundle line, which line is added to the container or removed from the container first?

Answer

Input xmls of addToContainer and removeFromContainer APIs do not have a way of specifying which shipment line is being packed or unpacked first. This can be a concern when you have a bundle in one line and one of the components of the bundle in another line

For example:
ShipmentLine 1 - item : Television set (normal item)
ShipmentLine 2 - item : Television set and installation service (bundle item)

In such a scenario, the product behavior would be :
If the Shipment has Bundle Item in one line and one of the Component Items in another line, when user packs the Component Item, the Shipment Line to be packed is selected in the order of the ShipmentLineNo. If Component Item line has lesser ShipmentLineNo then it is picked else Bundle Line is picked. This is the default behavior.
