# noon_inbound_CreateShipment (https://sellersheetai.com/docs/mcp-api/tools/noon_inbound_CreateShipment)

> Create an FBN inbound shipment (ASN) header in CREATED status with no items — step 2, after noon_inbound_ListEligibleItems.

Access: **WRITE** · toolset noon · family noon

Idempotent: the same exref_nr + shipment_type returns the existing ASN instead of a duplicate. noon API · AsnService_CreateShipment · POST /fbn/inbound/v1/shipment/create Docs: https://noon-docs.noonpartners.dev/docs/api-reference/inbound/asn-service-create-shipment Gate: approve — interactive: show the change (noon's preview first where one exists), wait for an explicit approve; autopilot: only when the seller's own words asked for this change; otherwise ask.

```

## Arguments

| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `store` | string | yes | the noon account ref `<account>-<CC>` (name-country, e.g. 'myNoon-AE') — one of get_user_context's noon store_refs, verbatim. |
| `exref_nr` | string | yes | your external reference (e.g. a PO number) — required, unique per shipment_type within the account. |
| `country_code` | string |  | the destination country code (e.g. AE, SA); omit it to use the store ref's marketplace. |
| `shipment_type` | string |  | the ASN's shipment type — SHIPMENT_TYPE_FBN_GLOBAL is noon's only usable value, and the one sent when this is omitted. Allowed: SHIPMENT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED \| SHIPMENT_TYPE_FBN_GLOBAL. Allowed: SHIPMENT_TYPE_UNSPECIFIED \| SHIPMENT_TYPE_FBN_GLOBAL. |

## Result

- `data.shipment.asn_nr` — the new ASN — pass it as asn_nr to noon_inbound_UpdateShipmentItems.
- `data.shipment.status` — ASN_STATUS_CREATED (the header shape of noon_inbound_GetShipment).

## Workflow

- 1. noon_inbound_UpdateShipmentItems — add the lines. 2. noon_inbound_UpdateShipmentStatus with action SEAL. 3. noon_inbound_GetSlotAvailability, then noon_inbound_ScheduleShipment.
