Overview

The Validate Colli Count step validates that shipments using shipping methods with mandatory colli (package) count have the count properly set. This ensures accurate package information for carriers.

Configuration Properties

This step has no configurable properties.

Behavior

What It Does

1. Iterates through all order shipments
2. For each shipment:
   • Gets the shipment option for the shipping method
   • Checks if NumberOfCollisMandatory is true
   • If mandatory, checks if NumberOfCollis is greater than 0
3. If any shipment has mandatory colli count but it's missing (0):
   • Returns error status
   • Cancels workflow

Prerequisites

• Shipment options must be configured with NumberOfCollisMandatory flag
• Shipments must have shipping method assigned

Side Effects

• May cancel workflow if validation fails

Business Cases

When to Use

• Carrier requirements: Ensure package count for carriers requiring it
• Freight shipments: Validate pallet/package counts for LTL
• Multi-package orders: Ensure accurate package counts

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Colli Count Set Shipment uses method requiring colli count. NumberOfCollis=3. Validation passes.

Scenario 2: Colli Count Missing Shipment uses method requiring colli count. NumberOfCollis=0. Workflow cancelled.

Scenario 3: Not Required Shipment uses method where colli count is optional. Validation passes regardless of count.

Scenario 4: No Shipments Order has no shipments. Validation passes.
