Shipment will only sync back to the channel if the SKU that is added to order line item after order import is added onto the order via the actual channel, i.e., adding the SKU added in Flxpoint to the order within Shopify.
B. How to Cancel Order Line Item(s)
There are a couple of different ways to do this:
- You can cancel all the items on the order by going to Actions and clicking Cancel Line Items.
- You can cancel single order line items by clicking the gear next to that line item and selecting Cancel.
- You will need to confirm the amount you are canceling in a flyout for each line item or the individual item being canceled.
Image: This GIF shows canceling a single line item by clicking the gear icon and confirming the cancellation amount in a flyout, ensuring precise control over order adjustments.
Another way to do this is after the FR/FO is already generated.
To do this:
Click on Actions under the FR entry > Adjust FR/FO.
You will then see two options:
- Yes, cancel from this FR/FO to fulfill from another source.
- No, cancel from this FR/FO and the order.
Image 1: This GIF illustrates selecting 'Yes' to cancel from the FR/FO and fulfill from another source, useful when inventory shifts to a different supplier.
Image 2: This GIF shows selecting 'No' to cancel the line item from both the FR/FO and the order, ideal for removing unfulfillable items entirely.
C. How to Edit Order Fields
- Navigate to the order in Flxpoint and click on the field you wish to edit (e.g., Order Notes).
- Make the necessary changes (e.g., update the shipping address to correct a typo).
- Save the changes by clicking outside the field or using the save option if prompted.
- Verify the updated field reflects the new information.
These guides help you modify orders efficiently to meet changing needs.
