Item Fulfillment Import
An item fulfillment transaction records the shipment of some or all items on an order to the customer. The processes for item fulfillment transactions depend on whether the Advanced Shipping feature is enabled.
-
If Advanced Shipping is not enabled, the fulfillment and invoicing processes are combined. When an item fulfillment is created, a related invoice is created at the same time.
-
If Advanced Shipping is enabled, fulfillment and invoicing are two independent processes, and shipments can be recorded separately from billing
Whether Advanced Shipping is enabled or not, order fulfillments should always be entered against sales orders to track the status of items and orders.
In addition to the possibility of bulk fulfilling orders using a CSV import as described in Bulk Fulfilling Orders Using a CSV Import, you can also use the Import Assistant for it.
