Managing Shipping Orders in the Shipping Order Queue

Use the Shipping Order Queue to manage shipping orders from assignment of the shipping order to a warehouse associate until the shipping order is marked as fulfilled.

In Order Management Fulfillment Center: open the Shipping Order Queue. You can view, manage, and print shipping orders in any of these workflow states.

Waiting Assignment: You can see shipping orders that are ready to be assigned to a site resource for pick/pack or fulfillment.
Waiting PickPack: You can see shipping orders that are ready for their Items to Be Picked and their items to be packed.
Waiting Fulfillment: You can see the shipping orders ready to be shipped. This might include shipping orders in various states, depending on which states are enabled in the Order Management workflow. (For example, if approvals, assignment, and pick/pack are not enabled, then a shipping order is set to the Waiting Fulfillment status as soon as it's sent to the fulfillment site.)
