DocumentRequest

Each **DocumentRequest** represents an order or part of an order of items fulfilled from a single origin address to a single destination address. In addition to shipping and billing details, a document request includes the collection of items in the shipment, with tax-relevant information for each item. Multi-address orders, in which items ship to or from multiple addresses, require at least one **DocumentRequest** per combination of sender-recipient addresses. These are similar to "consignments" or "shipments" in other BigCommerce APIs.
