Order Routing Rules
Order routing rules decide where an order should go for fulfillment based on inventory, service, geography, or channel requirements.
Common routing inputs
- Warehouse availability
- Shipping zone
- Channel or customer type
- Item restrictions
- SLA commitments
Safe rollout steps
- Document the desired route for each scenario
- Start with a limited warehouse set
- Review edge cases like partial stock
- Audit exceptions daily after release
When to intervene manually
- Inventory data is stale
- Carrier constraints changed mid-day
- A high-priority order needs supervisor review
