Overview

This article explains how to generate Item Fulfillment records from Pre-Fulfillment records on Sales Orders, either on demand (real time) or automatically on a schedule.

Configuration

Real-time item fulfillment generation from the sales order record

Enable this feature by configuring a workflow. The workflow adds a button to the Sales Order record and triggers Pre-Fulfillment to Item Fulfillment generation.

• See Configuring eXtendMultiFulfillment Workflows for details.
  

Automated, scheduled item fulfillment generation

eXtendMultiFulfillment includes a Map/Reduce script called eXtendMultiFulfillment Map Reduce that automatically creates Item Fulfillments based on Pre-Fulfillment records on the Sales Order record according to a defined schedule. See more information on how scheduled processing works in eXtendMultiFulfillment Processing Methods: Real-Time vs. Scheduled.

To create a script deployment for the Map/Reduce script:

1. Go to Customization → Scripting → Scripts.
   
2. Search for the Map/Reduce script named eXtendMultiFulfillment Map Reduce.
   
3. Click Deploy Script.
   
   
   
4. Configure the Name, ID, Status, and Schedule as needed. No parameters are required.
   

   
   
5. Click Save.
   

Q: When should I use real-time vs. scheduled generation?
A: Use real-time generation when you need Item Fulfillments immediately from the Sales Order. Use scheduled generation when you want Item Fulfillments created automatically on a cadence without user action.
