Grouping your Orders into an Order Fulfillment

The Order Fulfillment Plan will be added to the Order Fulfillment overview page, tagged with a unique ID with the prefix OF-.
Allocating Packaged Inventory
It is essential to complete this step, even if you do not have any stock to allocate, as it automatically creates packaging plans for any outstanding quantities.
By following the steps below, you can allocate the stock available for the Order Fulfillment Plan:
-
To view the details of a specific Order Fulfillment Plan, navigate to the Order Fulfillment overview page and click on the OF tag associated with the desired plan.
-
Click Add stock allocation on the Allocations tab.
-
On the Add stock allocation page, you can view available quantities for each product variant alongside ordered amounts.
To allocate packaged stock, enter the quantity for the packages you wish to assign to the Order Fulfillment Plan.
You can allocate all stock by clicking on Allocate all stock option.
The Remaining column indicates the additional coffee that needs packaging.
- Click Create allocation to proceed.
This will automatically create Packaging Plans for the outstanding amounts based on the FIFO (First in, First Out) method, which can be reviewed on the Packaging Plans tab.

Scheduling the remaining weights
Did you know?
The Order conversion pulls data from the profiles directly. All the information, like green inventory, machine, batch size, and weight loss, will be pre-filled according to the Profile.
We strongly recommend maintaining Profile groups and Profiles for a smooth order-to-roast conversion.
By following the steps below, you can schedule the remaining weights:
-
Navigate to the Roast Schedules tab and click Add schedules.
-
You will be directed to the Convert to schedule page, where you can view the following essential information:
If there are any errors, like missing information, the field will be indicated with an exclamation mark.- Remaining: Shows the ordered amount - allocated packaged coffee.
- Available: Loose roasted inventory that can be allocated to a Packaging plan.
- To roast: the actual need for roasted coffee to fulfill the order.
- Batches: The actual need converted to the number of batches.
- Profile
- Machine
- Green lot
-
By clicking on the Settings in the top right corner of the page, you can add your Scheduling preferences.
-
By clicking on the
Edit button, you can edit the Profile details.
You can switch the Profile within the Profile group, Green lot, Start and End weight, Weight loss, assign a different machine, Batch size, or update the number of batches. - Once you finish, click Update.

The scheduled roast will appear on the Order Fulfillment > Roast Schedules tab.
Click theEdit button to revise any information as needed.
