Fulfilling Orders

Estimated reading: 3 minutes

What does fulfilling an orders mean?

When you fulfill an order, you are measuring out each ingredient in the formula or taking a product off the shelf which has been ordered by a customer. When you click on Fulfill button, it allows you to enter the final qty you measure, and choose a lot/batch number for the ingredient. Once fulfillment is completed, the qty you entered in reduced from the lot/batch numbers you specified so your inventory levels remain accurate.

Why do I need to Fulfill Orders?

You need to fulfill orders because we need to tell the dispensary system which lot numbers you are using for the order and how much you actually measured. It is not good enough to just create the order, the main goal is to track lots and quantities. A formula may call for 8g, but the fulfiller measures out 8.1g. To properly keep track of inventory, the fulfiller should enter the exact amount put into the formula during fulfillment.

How to Fullfill

View Order

Click on the Fulfillment Tab at the top of the page

You will be presented with the following screen.

Measure out each ingredient in the custom formula. By default the system will choose the oldest lot number.

1. If you click on the + symbol you can add a second lot number and enter a quantity

2. You can use the drop down to choose a different lot number

3. You can turn the lot off from this page. You may want to do this if the lot is actually completed, and you don’t want it to show up again in future order

Waste and Start again

Mistakes do happen, such as accidently dropping all your herbs on the ground! OOPS! There is a button on the fullfillment page called “waste and starte again” which will reduce our inventory by the quantities in the input boxes and let you refulfill the order.

Fulfillment Review Check

The system will make sure you have the correct amounts indicated in the formula and show you which lot numbers you selected.

If you need to revise something or start again, click on CLOSE

If you are happy with everything, click on CONFIRM AND FULFILL

Your formula or product is now fulfilled and will be marked “fulfilled successfully” You cannot undo this.

Refulfill a Formula

Sometimes you need to refulfill a formula. This often happens when a custom formula is lost in the mail and you need to make a replacement. You can click on “refulfill” and start the entire process over again!

Fulfilling Multiple Custom Formulas

If a practitioner orders more than one of the SAME custom formula, the system will show you a screen to fulfill the same formula more than once!
