Sales Order Fulfillment Setup - Fulfillment Rules field descriptions

General

Auto Submit eCommerce Fulfillment Orders

This setting applies to fulfillment orders that are automatically created from an outside source through SX API. Select one of these values to determine when a fulfillment order is submitted to create tied fulfillment orders:

  • Always Submit: The fulfillment order is always submitted, even if the warehouses selected for each line items cannot completely fill the order. Tied fulfillment orders that are not completely filled are subject to the standard backorder process.
  • Only Fully Filled: The fulfillment order is submitted only when the warehouses that are selected for each line item can completely fill the order.
  • Do Not Auto Submit: The fulfillment order must be submitted manually in Sales Order Entry or Sales Order Fulfillment Inquiry.
Billing Code

If consolidated invoicing is used to bill fulfillment orders, this setting determines when the original fulfillment order is released for billing. The value that you select is the default value on all fulfillment orders, but it can be overridden in Sales Order Fulfillment Inquiry.

You can release fulfillment orders, based on a percentage of fulfillment order shipments. Tied fulfillment orders must be in the Invoiced stage to be included on a consolidated invoice.

If you select a percentage, consolidated invoicing occurs at these intervals:

  • 25%: Consolidated invoices are generated when 25, 50, 75, and 100 percent of the fulfillment order is shipped and invoiced.
  • 50%: Consolidated invoices are generated when 50 and 100 percent of the fulfillment order is shipped and invoiced.
  • 75%: Consolidated invoices are generated when 75 and 100 percent of the fulfillment order is shipped and invoiced.
  • Shipped Completely: A consolidated invoice is generated when 100 percent of the fulfillment order is shipped and invoiced.

The quantity ordered totals are compared to the invoiced quantity totals to determine what percentage of the total tied fulfillment orders are ready for billing.

If you select Manually Release, you must manually release each fulfillment order in Sales Order FulFillment Inquiry.

This field is available only if Use Consolidated Invoicing For Billing is selected in SA Administrator Options.
