For many B2B business, an Order is a large, complex object that can frequently get broken down into multiple shipments for various reasons – inventory coming from multiple warehouses, some items in stock sooner than others, multiple vendors providing portions of the order, customers requesting parts of an Order to be shipped to different locations than others.
The list goes on, and one challenge can pop up is properly calculating and charging shipping across the order as pieces are shipped out. Zoey has made this easier thanks to our updates over time to Invoices, but now we’ve made it even easier with Split-Quote Shipping Rates.
This feature is supported for businesses using multiple Inventory Locations, as this is one of the most common scenarios where an Order will be split, as fulfillment is happening from multiple warehouses. This feature already allows you to set up multiple warehouse locations, with inventory managed at each, automatically assign fulfillment to the correct warehouse, and now, calculate split shipping rates from a given carrier.
The best part is you can split shipping even within a single Order, without having to break the order down into multiple Orders.
Configuration options include the ability to split backordered items at your discretion, offering maximum flexibility around how you leverage this feature.
As always, our support documentation has all the details on how you can leverage this feature, which is already available to Zoey sellers.
