JIT Orders Are Published to D365 After Label Printing

Overview

Just-In-Time (JIT) orders are no longer automatically published to D365 when they are submitted. Instead, a JIT order is published only after its shipping label has been printed.

This change ensures that only confirmed JIT shipments are visible to warehouse operations, reducing confusion and improving order accuracy.


How It Works

  1. A JIT order is submitted and appears in the Action Center.

  2. The order remains unavailable to the warehouse until a shipping label is printed.

  3. When the JIT label is printed from the Action Center, ACP automatically:

    • Fulfills the order

    • Publishes the order to D365

    • Moves the order into Open Orders

No additional publishing steps are required.

Printed Orders Move (Fulfill) to Open Orders

Understanding Order Statuses

Queued Publishing

If a JIT order has been sent to Open Orders but the label has not yet been printed, the order will display:

  • Substatus: Queued Publishing

  • JIT Label Status: Not Printed

This indicates that the order is waiting for label generation before being published to D365.

Published

Once the JIT label is printed:

  • The order is automatically published to D365

  • The order status updates to Published

  • The JIT Label Status updates to Printed

At this point, the warehouse can view the order and begin planning for pickup or delivery receipt, and process fulfillment activities.


Why This Change Matters

Publishing JIT orders only after label printing provides better visibility and control by:

  • Preventing unconfirmed JIT orders from appearing in warehouse systems

  • Eliminating ambiguity around pending pickups and drop-offs

  • Ensuring warehouse teams only see orders that are ready for fulfillment

  • Reducing manual publishing steps for users


Key Takeaway

JIT orders that appear in Open Orders but have not had a label printed will now display a Queued Publishing substatus.

This status indicates that the order has not yet been published to D365 because a JIT label has not been printed. It provides visibility to both client and warehouse teams that the order may not yet be ready for fulfillment, even though it appears in Open Orders.

Once a JIT label is printed, the order is automatically published to D365 and the Queued Publishing status is removed.

Note: Printing a JIT label from the Action Center is now an additional fulfillment workflow that automatically publishes the order to D365. However, the primary purpose of this enhancement is to clearly identify JIT orders that have not yet been printed and are therefore not ready for warehouse processing.
