Tied fulfillment orders

A stock order that is created after you submit an original fulfillment order is a tied fulfillment order. Tied fulfillment orders are created in the sales order stage of Stage 1-Ordered.

The notes and line comments on the original fulfillment order are copied to the tied fulfillment orders.

Processing tied fulfillment orders

Tied fulfillment orders track and update inventory balances. They are subject to standard back-ordering, picking, TWL packing, and shipping, invoicing, and replenishment processes.

These functions and reports differentiate tied fulfillment order from other stock orders:

  • Sales Entry Pick Tickets Report

    The original fulfillment order is included on the order header notes section on the pick ticket.

  • Sales Shipping Feedback Entry

    Changes that are made to a tied fulfillment order does not update the original fulfillment order.

  • Sales Entry Invoice Processing Report

    The tied fulfillment orders are processed as a standard stock order and moved into the Invoiced stage.

    If consolidated invoicing is not activated for order fulfillment, then the invoice for the tied fulfillment order is printed. The original fulfillment order is included on the invoice for each tied fulfillment order.

    If consolidated invoicing is activated for order fulfillment, the invoice for the tied fulfillment order is not printed.

    If Load Sales Warehouse On Fulfillment Tied Orders is selected in SA Administrator Options, these actions may occur when you run the report:

    • If Cost of Goods is set up by warehouse in Product General Ledger Distribution Setup, the Cost of Goods are posted to the warehouse on the original fulfillment order.

    • If Store in Sales Manager Data is select in SA Administrator Options, the data from the original fulfillment order is stored.
  • Sales Consolidated Invoice Report

    If consolidated invoicing is activated for order fulfillment, tied fulfillment orders with open invoices are consolidated, based on the billing code of the original fulfillment order.

    If a floorplan customer is specified on a tied fulfillment order, the invoice cannot be consolidated for billing. The invoice is printed individually when the Sales Entry Invoice Processing Report is run.
