Fulfilling sales orders

There are four main processes in fulfilling sales orders. For this reason, the sales order fulfillment process is flexible and can be customized to suit your unique business needs.

To start fulfilling sales orders, identify the orders you need to fill and depending on your business needs, proceed with any of the following workflows:

• Workflow 1: Pick > Pack > Ship
• Workflow 2: Pick > Ship
• Workflow 3: Express pick-pack > Ship
• Workflow 4: Ship

Update the Sales Order Fulfillment status on the Warehouse Manager app

If you’re using the Sales Order Fulfillment Worksheet with the Warehouse Manager app, and have records with statuses that haven’t been updated and are still left in Partially Picked, Picked, Not Picked, Partially Packed, Packed, and Not Picked for an extended period, we recommend you mark them as “Complete”.

Why is this necessary?

Marking the status as complete will help remove redundant entries from your QuickBooks.

Note: Additionally, we will conduct a one-time clean-up of all older records whose statuses are in the Picked and Packed state and haven’t been updated in the last 12 months and still have incomplete statuses, to enhance your user experience.

How to mark the Sales Order Fulfillment status as complete?

1. Go to Customers and select Sales Order Fulfillment Worksheet.
2. Select Pick.
3. Check if the orders not fully picked have been shipped.
4. If they have been shipped, select the order then Update Sales order. and then Complete.

Repeat steps 3 and 4 for Pack and Express pick-pack tabs.
