The Ultra Commerce admin allows for single orders to be fulfilled manually either partially or in full through the Orders section of the admin. Items that need to be shipped need to be fulfilled manually while items that have email auto fulfillment for example, E-Gift Cards, are automatically fulfilled. An order must be placed first before it can be fulfilled. So, Orders that are still in the Carts and Quotes area of the admin can not be fulfilled.

There is also the ability to create Fulfillment Batches which is when you batch together multiple orders at one time, in full or partially. This process is explained in the Fulfillment Batches section of the user guide.

• Navigate to the Order that needs to be fulfilled
• Fulfill a Shipping Order Partially
• Fulfill a Shipping Order in Full
• Fulfill an E-Gift card
• Multiple Order Fulfillments on an Order Detail

Fulfill an Order in Full

When an order has not been fully fulfilled it can be fulfilled at a later date by returning to the Order Fulfillments Items tab and then following the previous steps above in the Fulfill a Shipping Order Partially section of the user guide. Once all the items in the order had been fulfilled, the status for the order would would Fulfilled.

 

 

E-Gift Card Fulfillments

When an item like an E-Gift card is in an order at the time the order is placed an email is generated and sent to the recipient and the fulfillment occurs automatically. So, no special fulfillment steps are required.

Below is the Order Fulfillments tab for an order that included an E-Gift Card. Note that the Quantity Undelivered is 0.

Note: An exception is when at the time the E-Gift card order item is added to the order. If no email recipient is indicated, it is necessary to fulfill the E-gift card in order for the email to be sent to the recipient.

Multiple Order Fulfillments on an Order Detail

When an order is created with multiple order items it is possible to have different fulfillment types and for items that are shipped to have different Shipping addresses for the items. On the the Order detail, this will mean that rather than having one Order Fulfillment entry, there will be multiple entries on the Order Fulfillments tab. This will be reflected on the Order Fulfillments tab of the Order detail. It would be then necessary to fulfill each entry using the steps outlined in Fulfill a Shipping Order Partially.
