In the routing section, you can define the routing strategy to best meet the needs of your customers. Based on the configured strategy, fulfillmenttools decides in which warehouse or store to fulfill the order.
The initial view shows the configured strategy as a flow diagram.
You can create categories for this section to make it easier to view the flow diagram.
To edit the routing strategy, we recommend reviewing the basic configuration first. To do this, hover on the Basic configuration box and click the edit icon.
The routing strategy logic is divided into two areas. For both areas, you can configure custom rules, which supplement the predefined rules of fulfillmenttools.
When creating an order, fulfillmenttools differentiates between two types of orders:
Click & Collect: The customer picks up the order in the store.
Ship-from-Store: A shipping provider ships the order from a facility to the customer's address. The type of facility (store or warehouse) is irrelevant in this context.
Unroutable orders
An order might not be assigned to a facility (routed) if no available facility passes a specific fence. In such a case, the system retries routing the order whenever another order is passed to the DOMS. After a configurable amount of time, the order is set to a not_routable state. The default time is 8 hours.
