There will be following types of parent & child AWB combinations:
Child AWB to be a unique number just like parent AWB.
Derived: Child AWB will be derived from the parent AWB. If parent AWB is 1234 then child AWBs will be 1234-1 and 1234-2 for two piece shipment.
Child AWBs Coming from Logistics aggregator : Child AWB on a box level will be given by Logistics aggregator like Clickpost.
Child AWB is same as parent AWB.
Internal backend configurations to allow multiple pack boxes and to allow box labelsat the channel level are added.
Allow multi pack box value is applicable only for B2C orders because it will always remain TRUE for B2B orders irrespective of value set in this flag.
The same values of these properties will flow against orders to OMS and WMS. These values would be set by the Increff team while configuring a channel for a client on the basis of use case shared by client.
If Allow box label is not enabled, only one shipping label per shipment will get generated even if there are multiple pack boxes present for the shipment. But, when it’s enabled, labels get generated for each box.
These configurations can be enabled/ disabled for a client and channel pair on raising a request to the Omni Success team.
Below B2C processes/flows will have changes on enabling the B2C Multi Pack Box feature.

Please note, if the user refreshes screen while scanning Box Ids against an AWB, user will have to scan all child AWBs once again for the particular AWB to add shipment to manifest.
User will have to scan all the box Ids that belong to that specific shipment.
