New code M replaced code N for manually handling deviations between Ongoing

and

and  Extend Commerce Backend

New featureProductOrder ManagementRequires support to active: NO

With previous code N

Orders are sent from from  Extend Commerce Backend to different warehouse systems when it is time to pick the order. But sometimes, changes has to be made to the order after it has been sent to the warehouse sysemsystem. Previously  we have used a code N for sending back orders from the warehouse system to to  Extend Commerce Backend in order for those changes to be made. With this code N, the order would after a time (depending on your sync setup) automatically be reserved once again and be sent back to the warehouse for picking. This was creating confusing amongst those using the Ongoing warehouse system together with with  Extend Commerce Backend as the window would depend on the synchronization settings for your standard integration, making it hard to define the amount of time you had to make changes to the order before it was reserved again by the system.

With code M

We therefore introduce the code M between Ongoing and and  Extend Commerce Backend. When changes has to be made to an order, it will now be sent back with the code M instead of code N for this integration. The code M means that the order has to be manually handled by a user before it can be sent back to Ongoing. The system will no longer automatically reserve the order and send it to picking. Orders will be locked in in  Extend Commerce Backend, flagged with a locked reservation flag and will stay in in  Extend Commerce Backend until a user tells the system that it now can reserve the order again. These orders can be found in the Search order row page through the filter "Wait reservation". After making your changes, you have to here release this flag by selected selecting the order's rows and select "Release locked reservation" in the pop up to enable the system to once again reserve the order and send it to picking.

Info

Code N will still be used between Extend Warehouse and Extend between  Extend Commerce WMS and  Extend Commerce Backend for when sending back orders to make changes.
