    Export documents

    Your task/initial situation

    You would like to ship a sales order to a non-EU country as a fulfilment service provider for a merchant and must configure your shipping method for export documents.You have already set up shipping methods by following the documentation in the JTL-Guide: Setting up shipping methods.
    Note: On this page, we will discuss the specifics of a JTL-Fulfillment Network sales order. Go here for more information on setting up Warenpost International (DHL).

    Setting up export documents

    As a fulfilment service provider, you receive the sales orders of the merchant with a 100% discount on all sales order line items. In the export document, this means that your package will be returned to the sender, as customs will not accept a total value of €0. For this reason, the 100% discount for all sales order line items is ignored for export documents for JTL-Fulfillment Network sales orders and the total value is transmitted to DHL.

    Note: Take into account that you do not create your own invoice for the merchant’s sales orders when shipping a JTL-Fulfillment order to a non-EU country. Therefore, you do not specify an invoice ID for export documents for the shipping method. For the assignment of the sales order in the export documents, you only need to specify the external sales order ID, which represents the sales order ID of the merchant.
