This module links theDB Schenkerbooking and tracking
APIs with Odoo delivery system.Table of contentsInstallationConfigurationUsagePlace shipping bookingsCancel bookingsGet labelsTrackingDebuggingKnown issues / RoadmapBug TrackerCreditsAuthorsContributorsMaintainersInstallationThis module depends on thezeeppython library and the OCA/delivery-carrierdelivery_package_numberanddelivery_statemodules.The Schenker API doesn’t provide delivery rating methods, so OCA’sdelivery_price_methodis advised in order to use this carrier in a sales workflow.ConfigurationTo configure a Schenker delivery method:Go toInventory > Configuration > Delivery > Shipping methodsand create a new one.ChooseDB Schenkeras provider.Configure the service parameters according to your contract considerations.Choose a delivery product and a default packaging. This is mandatory for the booking
request as it needs the packaging code.To make tests, set the carrier environment to test from the smart button. Don’t forget
to set it to production once you’re ready to use the delivery method!UsageThese are the operations possible with this module:Place shipping bookingsWhen the picking is validated, the shipping will be booked at Schenker.With the response, we’ll receive the delivery tracking number and the pdf label in a
chatter message and it will be kept as attachment to the document.You can manage packages number either with the proper Odoo workflows or with the
package number field available in theAdditional Infotab. You’ll get as many
labels as declared packages.Cancel bookingsAs in other carriers, we can cancel the shipping after the picking is done. To do
so, go toAdditional Infotab and click on theCancelaction on the side of the
tracking number.We can generate a new shipping if necessary.Get labelsIf by chance we delete the generated labels, we can obtain them again hitting theSchenker Labelbuttons in the header of the picking form.TrackingThe module is integrated withdelivery_stateto be able to get the tracking info
directly from the DB Schenker API.To do so, go to a picking shipped with Schenker. In theAdditional Infotab you’ll
find an action button toUpdate tracking stateso the state will be updated from
the Schenker API.DebuggingThe API calls and responses are tracked in two special fields in the picking that can
be viewed by technical users. You can also log them in asir.loggingrecords setting
the carrier debug on from the smart button.Known issues / RoadmapThere’s no dummy access key to test API calls so no tests can be performed.The test booking and shipping APIs databases aren’t connected so it isn’t possible to
perform trackings on test mode.Only land shipping is implemented, although the module is prepared for extend to
air and ocean just considering the mandatory request fields for those methods.
Some additional adaptations could be needed (e.g.: origin and destination airport,
port) anyway.Only volume is supported as a measure unit and with the limitations of Odoo itself. To
enjoy a full fledged volume support, install and configure the OCA’sstock_quant_package_dimensionmodule and its dependencies. The connector is ready to
make use of their volume computations.It’d be needed to extend the method to support Schenker measure units such as  loading
pieces or pallet space.Some more booking features aren’t yet supported although can be extended in the
future. Some of those, although the complete list would be really extensive:Dangerous goods.Driver pre-advise.Transport temperature.Customs clearance.Cargo insurance.Cash on delivery.Bug TrackerBugs are tracked onGitHub Issues.
