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
manifestSingle	B2C	Assign a courier to a single-box consumer order
manifestHeavy	B2B	Assign a courier to a multi-box business order

B2C Manifestation

const result = await client.manifestSingle({ order_id: 'ORD-123' });
// After this, AWB is generated for the order

B2B Manifestation

const result = await client.manifestHeavy({ order_id: 'ORD-456' });
// After this, LRN is generated for the order

What Happens After Manifestation

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

Convenience: manifestAndGetAWB

For B2C flows, the SDK provides a convenience method that manifests the order and returns the AWB in a single call:

const awb = await client.manifestAndGetAWB('ORD-123');
console.log(awb.data); // AWB number

This is equivalent to calling manifestSingle followed by getAWB, but saves a round-trip.

Full Flow Example

// 1. Create the order
const order = await client.addSingleOrder({ /* ... */ });

// 2. Manifest it
const manifest = await client.manifestSingle({ order_id: order.data.order_id });

// 3. Get the AWB
const awb = await client.getAWB({ order_id: order.data.order_id });

// 4. Get the shipping label
const label = await client.getShipmentFile({ awb: awb.data });
