markConsignmentsAsReadyToManifest

For those sellers who wish their workflow to move to 'Printed' after label printing (refer to How do I Print and Manifest separately?), this method allows you to flag an array of 'Printed' consignments as 'Ready to Manifest'. This allows the manifesting processes (e.g. createManifest and createManifestForFutureDespatch) to pick them up.

Note

It is assumed that you have worked through Creating your first Request to a Service and are familiar with the Properties needed to Call or Create a Consignment.

How to submit a request

Proceed as follows:

If you have not already done so, open a new project using the WSDL ConsignmentService.xml.
Create a new request under markConsignmentsAsReadyToManifest,
Enter the authorisation for the request.
Specify the code(s) of the existing consignment(s).
Click to submit the request.
