Queued Publishing
Queued Publishing controls when future-dated orders are sent to the Warehouse Management System (WMS).
This workflow applies to orders that:
Have been released from the Action Center
Have a requested ship date more than 14 days in the future
How Queued Publishing Works
When an order is released from the Action Center:
If the requested ship date is more than 14 days away, the order moves to:
Open Orders → Received – Queued Publishing
The order will remain in this status until:
The requested ship date reaches the 14-day threshold.
At that point:
The order automatically publishes to WMS for warehouse processing.
No manual action is required.
Why This Exists
Queued Publishing allows future-dated orders to:
Reserve inventory in advance
Remain editable prior to warehouse processing
Be reprioritized using Force Reserve (if necessary)
This protects inventory planning while preventing premature warehouse activity.
