A fulfillment request/fulfillment orders (FR/FO) strategy represents a set of rules that can be applied as FR/FOs are being generated.
A strategy includes things like:
- Auto-processing the FR/FO to the source
- Manipulating the FR/FO number that is generated
You can manage these rules in two ways:
Globally:
- Visit Flxpoint App → Settings → Orders → PR/FR Strategy
Specific Source:
- Visit Flxpoint App → Sources → [Select a Source] → FR/FOs → PR/FO # Strategy
Info
If you configure a strategy at a specific source, it will take priority over global strategies.
Auto Processing
By default, after FR/FOs are generated they must be processed manually. To bypass this manual step, auto processing can be enabled either globally or on specific sources.
FR/FO Number
If your source has FR/FO number requirements, i.e.
- Max # of characters
- Can't contain "x"
You can configure rules and workflows to obtain a desired FR/FO number.
Or, if you'd like to customize how the FR/FO number is transmitted, you can leverage these rules.
Info
Most often, PO/FR #s are created from the:
- Order ID (Flxpoint order ID)
- Channel reference # (represents the connected channel's order #)
In addition, if multiple PO/FRs are generated generally a "-1", "-2", "-3" can be applied to denote a unique PO/FR # for Flxpoint accounts.
