# ERROR WHEN GENERATING A GEODIS LABEL: "THE TOTAL VOLUME OF THE SHIPMENT ENTERED IS NOT VALID"

You are trying to generate a label with the carrier Geodis but encounter the following error: 

*"The total volume of the shipment entered is not valid."*

This message means that the parcel dimensions entered during shipment are not consistent for a shipment.

 

**❓ What should I check?**

1. **The parcel dimensions entered at shipment**
   
     - Make sure they match the actual size of the shipped parcel.
2. **The box dimensions set in the platform**
   
     - Go to the menu **Configurations** -\> **Logistics** -\> **Boxes** -\> Open the details of the box in question:

1. - Check that the entered measurements are correct.
2. **The units used**
   
     - The dimensions must be expressed in the right unit (millimeters or centimeters).
     - A unit error often leads to incorrect dimensions.

 

**❓ What is the most common cause of this problem?**

- The dimensions entered are **far too small** (e.g. 1 mm instead of 10 cm).
- Or on the contrary **far too large** (e.g. 1000 cm instead of 100 cm).

 

**✅ In summary**  
Always check:

- The consistency of the dimensions.
- The units used (mm or cm).
- The settings of the configured box.
