TicketOS Help Guide Process Orders for Shipment
Why Process Orders for shipping? Typical Usage This is the process by which an Inventory Manager would view, fulfill, and ship orders that are completed by associates. An order only enters the fulfillment queue for processing and shipment once it has received all necessary managerial approvals. The fulfillment queue is only accessible to associates designated as Inventory Managers. TicketOS Help Guide© Proprietary + Confidential Last modified February 12, 2009
