NetSuite item fulfillments to advanced ship notices (856)

A Warehouse Manager of an eCommerce manufacturer/supplier wants shipped orders in NetSuite to sync directly to the trading partner source as the order fulfillment completion.

Generates the item fulfillment from NetSuite as advanced ship notice (EDI transaction 856) to the trading partner source. The scheduled flow gets the fulfillment records with the status as Shipped in NetSuite. The Synced EDI fulfillment field must be checked on the NetSuite item fulfillment. This is a once-exported scheduled flow. Before you generate the fulfillment, make sure to sync the sales order.

The supported items are:

  • Inventory Item 
  • Simple items
  • Lot Numbered items
  • Serialized items
  • Bin
  • Matrix Items

If there are multiple fulfillments, the flow should not export until the whole order is fulfilled. The flow checks the once-used custom field on the item fulfillment record in NetSuite, once it’s exported. You can uncheck the once field and should be able to export the fulfillment again when there is some error to a particular Ship Notice. The 856 Ship Notice created in Orderful contains all the details of the Shipment which has info regarding the Ship Date, Tracking Numbers, Ship Address, Ship Carrier, etc.
