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.
