Order Processing
Order Processing
Typically, an order imported into OrderFlow will be processed as follows:
- One or more shipments will be created for the order.
- Stock in the warehouse will be allocated to each shipment.
- A courier and service will be selected for each shipment.
- Each shipment will be assigned to a batch.
- A batch of shipments will be picked, packed and despatched.
Apart from the picking and packing activities, all of the above steps are performed automatically by OrderFlow, with no manual intervention required by warehouse staff. However, some customers may require all or a subset of their orders to be processed differently.
Is there any way in which your desired process for some or all orders differs from the standard OrderFlow offering, above?
Note
During the requirements capture phase we can provide detail on types of workflow options that are available in OrderFlow to address specific issues you may be facing.
OrderFlow is also a priority concept which allows for certain orders to be fast tracked through the processing.
Do you wish to support setting a higher priority for certain shipments? Please think about the rules you would wish to apply in determining whether a shipment should be considered 'high' priority.
