SPD Options Not Generating in 'Pack Later' Workflow

[Alvaromero]

I'm using the 'Pack Later' workflow (when the seller does not know the carton-level information upfront), but SPD options are not being generated. Could there be a reason for this?

Hi @Alvaromero,
thanks for reaching out!
SPD is not available when the carton-level information is unknown according to the documentation.

Hi @mafge, thank you for your response. I have a couple of questions:

First, is SPD also unavailable for NON-PARTNER?
Second, if SPD options are not available in this flow, why does the API offer placement options that include multiple shipments, implying that these shipments would need to be SPD?

Also, the documentation and Seller Central pages state that it's only "temporarily", suggesting that it might come in the future. We would also love additional clarity on the topic.

@Alvaromero No, SPD is not available in any case. Placement option calculation depends on a lot of factors, so your assumption that multiple shipments equals SPD doesn't hold true.

@B3lg4r4th Unfortunately I don't have any more information when/if this will become available in the future. Please make sure to check our changelog regularly. If it becomes available we will announce it there.
