Ventoo Shipping adds the business functions around shipment labels to Business Central. The shipping process follows a clear lifecycle: a label is created from a source document or manually, validated, submitted to the carrier, the returned PDF is stored, and the label can then be printed, downloaded, and its tracking can be reviewed.

Lifecycle of a shipment label
Each shipment label goes through the following statuses (table field Status, enum Label Status VTO):
|
Status |
Meaning |
|---|---|
|
Draft |
Label has been created and can still be edited; it has not yet been sent to the carrier. |
|
Sent |
The request has been submitted to the carrier API; response is pending. |
|
Success |
The carrier has issued the label; PDF, transport unit numbers, and tracking link are stored. |
|
Error |
Validation or the API call has failed. The error text is shown in the Error Message field. |
|
Cancelled |
The label has been discarded manually. |
In Draft status, all fields on a label are editable. Once the label has been sent, the fields are read-only; only the actions Download Label, Preview Label, Reprint Label, and Retry remain available.
