Example1
Assume that you enter an order for an item which is shippable and a service
contract for that item. You would not want to bill for the service contract until the
item was shipped. Put the two lines into a fulfillment set by clicking the right
mouse button and selecting Sets. When the order is booked, the shippable line
must complete the scheduling and shipping activities. These activities are not
applicable for the service contract, so they will complete immediately. The service
contract will wait at the fulfill line activity until the shippable line arrives there, and
then both lines will continue to invoicing at the same time.
Example 2
Assume that you are a telecommunications company and some of your order lines
are for local cable service. The line is fulfilled when the technician goes to the
subscribers home and makes the connection. You call this activity provisioning,
and you have a custom system for managing this service. You could define a new
workflow activity called provisioning and define it as the fulfillment method
activity for the workflow process associated with cable installation lines. The line
for installation might be in a fulfillment set with the line for the first monthly fee
and the line for a shippable item, the cable box. When the technician reports that
the connection is complete, the custom system could update the status of the
provisioning workflow activity. When the line progresses to the fulfillment activity,
the quantity fulfilled is updated with the quantity provisioned. The other lines in
the fulfillment should already be waiting at the fulfillment activity. The completion
of the fulfillment activity for the installation would complete the lines in the
fulfillment set, and the installation, first monthly fee and cable box would all
proceed to invoice interface.
Conclusion
Order Management’s new fulfillment functionality provides a simple way to
synchronize the workflow between order lines. It allows you to prevent invoicing
of lines in a fulfillment set until all lines are ready for invoicing. Seeded workflow
processes and activities can be used out of the box to provide baseline functionality
for sales order, drop ship and return lines. The functionality is also designed to
allow you the flexibility to define other activities as fulfillment methods so that you
can model your unique business processes.
