Combined Orders Logic During Manual Batching

This document outlines how the platform applies the logic of the combined order during the manual batching process.

This functionality is designed to consolidate orders that are destined for the same address and recipient, enabling them to be shipped together.

The combined orders logic ensures that orders fulfilling specific criteria—namely, identical delivery address and recipient name—are merged into a single shipment. This approach streamlines the shipping process and may contribute to cost savings.

How it Works

1. Eligibility Check: Only UNPROCESSED orders are considered for combination.

2. Criteria for Combining:

   • The system checks for unprocessed orders with the same delivery address and recipient name.

   • If eligible orders are found, they are grouped together based on these criteria.

3. Upon Finding a Match:

   • Assigns the tracking number of the first evaluated order to all orders in the set.

Post-Combination Procedure

After orders have been combined:

• They are excluded from further evaluation to avoid redundancy.

• All combined orders are treated as a single batch for picking purposes, keeping them distinct from non-combined orders.

• Combined orders, regardless of the number of items, are handled as if they are multi-line orders.

Key Points to Remember

• For Orders Without Matches: Proceed as usual without combining.
