- Accurate shipping: Carrier needs package-level details
- Tracking granularity: Track each package separately
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1: Furniture Order Sofa has 3 colli (boxes). Step creates 3 package records on the shipment.
Scenario 2: Only Sent Separately
Configure OnlyIsSentSeparatelyTrue=true. Only processes products flagged for separate shipping.
