# Configuring documents to be generated and printed for orders

With the [new store fulfillment flow](/v1/docs/using-newstore-associate-app-to-fulfill-orders#assoapp-store-fulfillment) , you can configure documents to be generated and printed for each customer order. These documents include packing slips, invoices, shipping labels, and return labels.

You can set a global documents configuration across all stores in your business or a store-specific configuration that will override the global configuration.

## Setting up a global documents configuration

To set a global documents configuration, use the [Update global documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/set_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_put) method.

We support the following documents to be generated and printed:

| `invoice` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate an invoice. |
| --- | --- |
| `packing_slip` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a packing slip. |
| `shipping_label` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a shipping label. |
| `return_label` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a return label. |
| `commercial_invoice` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate a commercial invoice. > [!TIP] > Note > > The shipping adapter provides the commercial invoice when [booking the shipment](/v1/docs/about-shipping). This can only be generated for some orders, and can only be added as a default *optional* document. |
| `in_store_pickup_label` | Include this in your configuration if you want to generate an in-store pickup label. (Only for `in_store_pick_up `document type.) |

A sample configuration:

```plaintext
{
    "default": ["invoice", "packing_slip", "shipping_label", "return_label"],
    "default_optional": ["commercial_invoice"],
    "in_store_pick_up": ["invoice", "in_store_pickup_label"],
}
```

To check your documents configuration, use the [Get global documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/get_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_get) method.

## Setting up a store-specific documents configuration

If you have a store for which you need different documents to be generated and printed, use the [Update store-specific documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/set_store_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_store__store_id__put) method.

Scenario:

Consider you have stores in different countries but in Japan you don't need to print a return label. In this scenario, you can use the [Update store-specific documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/set_store_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_store__store_id__put) method to set the documents configuration for each store in Japan.

The store-specific documents config can be removed using the [Delete store-specific documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/delete_store_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_store__store_id__delete) method.

Use the [Get store-specific documents config](https://docs.newstore.net/api/integration/store-fulfillment/documents_config#operation/get_store_documents_configuration_config_documents_config_store__store_id__get) method to check if you have an existing store-specific documents configuration.
