Hi List, I have, I think somewhat uncommon order fulfilment situation and looking for tips on how to best address the same.
The scenario includes a primary warehouse to ecommerce store with a set of secondary region specific warehouse. The business rule is to fulfill from primary warehouse in all cases unless it is out of stock. The corner case is even if an order has a partial set of items unavailable in primary warehouse, the remaining should get addressed by primary warehouse. The pending items are then free to be fulfilled by any of the regional stores. Let me take an example for clarity. A order has 2 line items namely a) Tiny Gizmo b) Large Widget. Now Tiny Gizmo is available with primary warehouse and therefore should be fulfilled right away. Large widget is out of stock in primary warehouse. However, one of the regional warehouse say in north does have stock and therefore should ship Large widget. No stock transfers between warehouse as it is expensive given the distance and time. My understanding is that this should be possible by splitting the shipment. Are there other alternatives? If I do choose the split shipment approach, from the order screen, am able to create another ship group. However, don't see the unfilfilled items in the newly created shipgroup. Clicking on the edit order option also does not provide a way to modify the ship group for the item. Should I go ahead and implement the same, or are there better ways to do this?
