# Update a Package

{% hint style="info" icon="memo-circle-info" %}
The  Update Package request can only be used for packages that are pending[^1].
{% endhint %}

* `tenantCode`, `orderReference`, and `packageReference` parameters identify the package and cannot be updated using the **Update Package** request.
* If `shippingStatus` is not provided in the body of request, the package status is set to `Complete` and the package cannot be updated again.
* For other parameters, if any new values are provided in the body of the request, the existing data is replaced with the new data. If no values are provided, any existing values are used instead.

> For example, if `consigneeAddress.address2` existed for a package, but no new value is provided for this parameter in the **Update Package** request, then the new parameter value will be null and the existing value will be used.

## PUT /packagemanagement/v1/{tenantCode}/orders/{orderReference}/packages/{packageReference}

> Updates certain fields of a package for a specified tenant, order reference and package reference.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://developer.esw.com/package-management/package-management-api/api-methods/update-a-package.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
