What's a standard/good practice way to update the status of an order to "ready to ship" or fulfilled/shipped? By our internal business rules, if an order meets the following requirement it's a "ready to ship" order:
- customer is in good standing (no late payment, not over limit);
- sales price meets requirement (we have a stored procedure to check table SOP10200);
- order has no hold;
- all items has available stock;
- it's on or after the ship date;
Is it a common way that people create a smart list to pull the list of "ready to ship" orders for the warehouse to print pick list and ship?
What is warehouse supposed to do after they complete the shipment? Is there something they do to mark the order "shipped" so that the order can be invoiced?
Thanks a lot!
