Integration Flow

​

Production to Fulfillment Workflow

Material → Produce → Availability → Fulfill → Restock
  (Raw Materials) → (Production) → (Finished Goods) → (Orders) → (Distribution)

​

1. Material → PRODUCE™

• Material module tracks raw materials at bin locations
• PRODUCE™ module recipes specify which materials are needed
• Material events in production consume materials from inventory
• Material quantities automatically decrease as production progresses

​

2. PRODUCE™ → Availability

• Production recipes create finished items
• Production completion generates available inventory
• Availability module tracks finished goods quantities
• Items become available for customer orders

​

3. Availability → FULFILL™

• FULFILL™ module checks availability when creating orders
• Availability sessions track what’s ready to sell
• Order allocation reserves inventory for customers
• Availability decreases as orders are allocated

​

4. FULFILL™ → RESTOCK™

• Customer orders in FULFILL™ determine what needs to ship
• RESTOCK™ module creates load lists for deliveries
• Routes or stations receive allocated inventory
• Orders are fulfilled and shipped to customers

​

Detailed Integration Points

​

Material ↔ PRODUCE™

• Production recipes reference material items
• Material events record consumption during production
• Material inventory automatically updates
• Purchase orders replenish consumed materials

​

PRODUCE™ ↔ FULFILL™

• Production output creates FULFILL™ availability
• Availability sessions track what’s ready to sell
• FULFILL™ orders can only sell what’s available
• Production triggers based on order demand

​

FULFILL™ ↔ RESTOCK™

• FULFILL™ orders drive RESTOCK™ load lists
• Load lists allocate inventory to routes/stations
• Distribution fulfills customer orders
• Order status updates when shipped

​

Availability ↔ FULFILL™

• FULFILL™ checks Availability before confirming orders
• Availability sessions track committed vs. available quantities
• Physical counts (Availability module) adjust FULFILL™ availability
• Over-allocation warnings prevent overselling

​

Module Relationships

​

Material Module

• PRODUCE™ (materials for recipes)

• Purchase Orders (vendor shipments)

​

PRODUCE™ Module

• FULFILL™ (finished goods availability)

• Material (raw materials)
• FULFILL™ (order demand for triggers)

​

Availability Module

• FULFILL™ (inventory availability)

• Physical counts (manual entry)
• PRODUCE™ (production output)

​

FULFILL™ Module

• RESTOCK™ (orders to fulfill)
• PRODUCE™ (order demand for planning)

• Availability (inventory levels)
• Customers (order requests)

​

RESTOCK™ Module

• Order fulfillment (distribution completion)

• FULFILL™ (orders to distribute)
• Availability (inventory to allocate)

​

Common Workflow Scenarios

​

Scenario 1: Made-to-Order Production

1. Customer places order in FULFILL™
2. Order triggers production in PRODUCE™ (via trigger)
3. Production consumes materials from Material
4. Completed items create availability in FULFILL™
5. Order is allocated and fulfilled
6. Distribution via RESTOCK™ if needed

​

Scenario 2: Make-to-Stock Production

1. Production manager plans production in PRODUCE™
2. Materials ordered via Material purchase orders
3. Production creates finished goods
4. Availability updated with new inventory
5. Customers place orders in FULFILL™
6. Orders allocated from existing stock
7. RESTOCK™ handles distribution

​

Scenario 3: Route-Based Replenishment

1. Recurring orders set up in FULFILL™ (master orders)
2. Weekly load lists created in RESTOCK™
3. Inventory allocated from FULFILL™ availability
4. Routes loaded and distributed
5. Order status updated to fulfilled
6. Next week’s orders trigger new cycle

​

Scenario 4: Physical Inventory Adjustment

1. Physical count performed in Availability module
2. Discrepancies identified
3. Counts posted to update inventory
4. FULFILL™ availability automatically adjusted
5. Orders reflect accurate inventory levels
6. Production planned in PRODUCE™ if stock low

Best Practices

​

Plan the Full Workflow

• Map your complete process from materials to customer delivery
• Identify which modules handle each step
• Set up integrations before going live

​

Maintain Data Consistency

• Use consistent item names/codes across modules
• Synchronize data regularly
• Verify inventory matches across systems

​

Monitor Integration Points

• Check that materials consumed in PRODUCE™ match Material inventory
• Verify production output matches FULFILL™ availability
• Confirm orders in FULFILL™ align with RESTOCK™ distribution

​

Use Automation

• Set up production triggers based on order demand
• Configure automatic material reorder points
• Enable availability sync between modules

​

Troubleshooting Integration Issues

​

Material Not Available for Production

• Check Material inventory levels
• Verify purchase orders are received
• Confirm material items are correctly referenced in recipe
• Review material consumption history

​

Production Not Creating Availability

• Verify production status is marked complete
• Check that production items map to FULFILL™ items
• Confirm availability sync is working
• Review production event completion

​

Orders Can’t Be Allocated

• Check Availability module for accurate counts
• Verify production has completed
• Confirm availability sessions are posted
• Review over-allocated orders

​

Load Lists Missing Inventory

• Check FULFILL™ availability levels
• Verify orders are properly allocated
• Confirm inventory isn’t double-allocated
• Review availability sync timing
