Common questions

What is an order fulfillment flowchart?

A diagram of the steps from a paid order to a shipped parcel, such as checking, picking, packing and labelling, and who does each one.

Why hold flagged orders before picking?

Once an order ships you usually can't get it back. Reviewing a flagged order first costs a few minutes; shipping a fraudulent one costs the stock, postage and a chargeback.

Can I use this flowchart if I pack orders myself?

Yes. Open it in Wikidoc and put every step in one lane. The checks still help you avoid wrong items and missed tracking emails.

Is the order fulfillment flowchart free?

Yes. Open and edit it in Wikidoc for free; the Free plan includes 10 process maps from templates.
