Manifestation

Manifestation is the process of assigning a courier to a confirmed order. After manifestation, the order becomes a shipment with a tracking number (AWB for B2C, LRN for B2B).

Manifestation Methods

Method	Type	Description
placeOrder	B2C/B2B	Assign a courier to an order

B2C Manifestation

const result = await client.placeOrder({
  MasterCustomOrderId: '311276742',
  courierId: 5,
  riskTypeId: '2',
});
// After this, AWB is generated for the order

B2B Manifestation

const result = await client.placeOrder({
  MasterCustomOrderId: '311276742',
  courierId: 25,
  riskTypeId: '2',
});
// After this, AWB/LRN is generated for the order

What Happens After Manifestation

1. A courier is assigned to the order
2. An AWB (B2C/B2B) is generated
3. Shipping labels become available via downloadDocument
4. The shipment becomes trackable via trackOrder

Convenience: ShipmentWorkflow

For B2C flows, the SDK provides a workflow builder that creates, manifests, and retrieves documents in a fluent API:

const result = await new ShipmentWorkflow(client)
  .create(orderPayload)
  .withCourier(5)
  .place()
  .finalize();

console.log(result.orderId);
console.log(result.orderDetail?.getOrderDetails.AwbNumber);

This is equivalent to calling createOrder → getServiceableCouriers → placeOrder → getOrderDetail, but saves you from managing intermediate IDs.

Full Flow Example

// 1. Create the order
const order = await client.createOrder({
  segment_type: 'domestic_b2c',
  // ...payload
});

// 2. Place it (manifest)
const place = await client.placeOrder({
  MasterCustomOrderId: order.data!.CustomGlobalOrderId,
  courierId: 5,
  riskTypeId: '2',
});

// 3. Get the order details
const details = await client.getOrderDetail(order.data!.CustomGlobalOrderId);

// 4. Get the shipping label
const label = await client.downloadDocument(order.data!.CustomGlobalOrderId, 'label');
