In Magento 2, creating shipment programmatically is a very easy and convenient way to add the shipments as required. Here is code you might need to run on Magento 2 console to get it done. All you might require to do is pass order id in generateShipment($orderId) function from the template.
The below code snippet is used for generating Shipment in Magento 2, once the shipment is generated, send the shipment mail to a customer who has placed the order automatically.
<?php
namespace MageDelight\Shipment\Block;
class Shipment extends \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template
{
public function __construct(
\Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context,
\Magento\Sales\Api\OrderRepositoryInterface $orderRepository,
\Magento\Sales\Model\Convert\OrderFactory $convertOrderFactory,
\Magento\Framework\DB\TransactionFactory $transactionFactory,
\Magento\Sales\Model\Order\Email\Sender\ShipmentSender $shipmentSender,
\Magento\Framework\Message\ManagerInterface $messageManager,
array $data = []
) {
$this->orderRepository = $orderRepository;
$this->orderConverter = $convertOrderFactory->create();
$this->transactionFactory = $transactionFactory;
$this->messageManager = $messageManager;
$this->shipmentSender = $shipmentSender;
parent::__construct($context, $data);
}
/**
* Create Shipment Based on Order Object
* @param \Magento\Sales\Model\Order $order
* @return $this
*/
public function generateShipment($orderId)
{
try {
$order = $this->orderRepository->get($orderId);
if (!$order->getId()) {
throw new \Magento\Framework\Exception\LocalizedException(__('The order no longer exists.'));
}
/* check shipment exist for order or not */
if ($order->canShip())
{
// Initialize the order shipment object
$shipment = $this->orderConverter->toShipment($order);
foreach ($order->getAllItems() AS $orderItem) {
// Check if order item has qty to ship or is order is virtual
if (! $orderItem->getQtyToShip() || $orderItem->getIsVirtual()) {
continue;
}
$qtyShipped = $orderItem->getQtyToShip();
// Create shipment item with qty
$shipmentItem = $this->orderConverter->itemToShipmentItem($orderItem)->setQty($qtyShipped);
// Add shipment item to shipment
$shipment->addItem($shipmentItem);
}
// Register shipment
$shipment->register();
$shipment->getOrder()->setIsInProcess(true);
try {
$transaction = $this->transactionFactory->create()->addObject($shipment)
->addObject($shipment->getOrder())
->save();
echo $shipmentId = $shipment->getIncrementId();
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->messageManager->addError(__('We can\'t generate shipment.'));
}
if ($shipment) {
try {
$this->shipmentSender->send($shipment);
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->messageManager->addError(__('We can\'t send the shipment right now.'));
}
}
return $shipmentId;
}
} catch (\Exception $e) {
$this->messageManager->addError($e->getMessage());
}
return true;
}
That's it!
