Shipment Out

The Shipment Out model will check once in the Packed state if the shipment is a valid shipment for the shipping service. He does that by calling a method that is by convention named validate_packing_<shipping service>.

Once a shipment is packed, the user can create the shipping for each packages with the shipping service by clicking on the Create Shipping button. This button triggers a wizard that is overridden in shipping service specific modules. The starting state of the wizard is a StateTransition. Its linked method is overridden in shipping service modules in order to communicate with the service.
