Who it's for

Multi-entity fulfillment

A fulfillment group may operate several entities while using one product catalog and one operational team. Each customer belongs to an organization, and each order and carrier label also names the responsible organization. Team members carry an organization and a user reference. Those links help staff work inside the right operating context when the same customer name or SKU appears across entities.

How E-commerce Fulfillment SCM is set up for you

Entity context

Check the customer and order organization before confirming a draft or preparing a label.

Member ownership

Assign the order owner from the team that handles the work and make the related queue easy to find.

Currency review

Organizations record a currency while order and payment amounts are denominated in USD; agree how cross-currency interpretation will be handled outside these records.

Evidence access

Review attachment visibility and payment evidence with the organization context in mind.

A fulfillment group may operate several entities while using one product catalog and one operational team. Each customer belongs to an organization, and each order and carrier label also names the responsible organization. Team members carry an organization and a user reference. Those links help staff work inside the right operating context when the same customer name or SKU appears across entities.

Begin with one organization, active customers and a representative team. Rehearse a normal order and a partial shipment, then add a second organization and repeat the same steps. Check that the order, customer, label and member references all point to the intended entity. Have a reviewer inspect an exception without changing the order's ownership. Decide which connected channel and carrier accounts are used for each organization before scaling intake.
