Scenario: Bulk Fulfilling of Sales Orders/ Transfer orders
Solution: You can fulfill many orders simultaneously from the same location. You select the location from which you want to fulfill the orders and submit the orders for processing. NetSuite processes the orders in the background.
To bulk fulfill orders:
1)Go to Transactions > Order Management > Fulfill Orders.
2)Optionally filter the list of orders by selecting a customer you want to fulfill an order for.
3)Select the period you want the fulfillments to post to.
4)In the Set Shipment Status To field, select the status you want these fulfilled sales orders to be set to.
The above field appears only when the Pick, Pack, and Ship feature is enabled.
5)In the Transaction Type field, select to filter the list for sales orders or transfer orders.
6)To choose the location from which you want to fulfill the orders, select a location in the Bulk Fulfill From Location field and clear the Filter box.
7)In the Filter By field, choose one of the following to filter the orders shown:
Some Items Committed – The list shows orders that have one or more items committed to be fulfilled.
Respect Ship Complete – The list shows only the orders that are committed according to their ship complete setting. This includes all orders that are not restricted to ship complete.
All Items Fully Committed – The list shows orders that have all items committed to be fulfilled.
Ignore Item Availability – The list shows all open orders regardless of the availability of items on the orders.
If you use the Multiple Shipping Routes feature, you generate an item fulfillment for each address. The shipping address and the corresponding shipping method for each order is displayed in the list of orders for fulfillment.
Note You cannot fulfill or bill sales orders with the status Pending Approval. You also cannot close lines on a sales order with this status. If you need to make changes to an order that is pending approval, you can remove line items.
For more information, see Item Fulfillments and Multiple Shipping Routes.
8) In the Ship Via field, choose the shipping method for the selected sales orders. To use the shipping method as specified on the sales order, select Default From Order.
9)Check the Fulfill box next to the orders you want to fulfill.
You can also select the orders you want to process by scanning the sales order barcode in the Select Order Number field in the Orders subtab. This field appears only when the Bar Coding and Item Labels feature is enabled.
The Customize button in the Orders subtab lets you add more columns to the list or add more filters above the list.
Important In this step, the selected sales orders will enter the processing queue and will be fulfilled with the values selected.
10)Click Submit to fulfill the sales orders.
