Fulfillment overview

Fulfillment is how Fiddle turns a confirmed sales order into goods out the door. The flow is pick → pack → ship, and stock updates at each step.

The fulfillment flow

1. A sales order is confirmed, adding demand and recalculating commitments.
2. A fulfillment order is created to work the shipment.
3. You pick the items using a pick list.
4. You pack the picked items into packages.
5. You ship — buy a label, then mark the order shipped.

What each step does to stock

Step	Stock effect
Confirm sale	Demand and commitment coverage are recalculated
Pick	Picked quantities are staged for packing
Pack	Items grouped into packages with weight and size
Ship	On-hand decremented; commitments recalculated

Fulfillment shows shortages, but commitment coverage does not lock stock or prevent a valid physical operation. Operators can backorder, partially ship, or proceed based on the stock actually present.

Where to work

You can fulfill one order at a time from the sales order itself, or process many at once with batch fulfillment. Pickers, packers, and shippers can each focus on their own stage.
