Return – Fully returned

What?

Is triggered when a return has been fully received, meaning all items contained in the order have been returned and the stock has been restocked or written off.

When?

As soon as the return has been

  • confirmed in the Pickware Admin using the "Receive return" button

    or

  • saved in the Pickware WMS App (the return is automatically marked as received in the process).

If an open return already exists, saving it in the app marks it as received.

Why?

- Automatically notify the customer about the complete goods receipt
- Create an invoice correction or book a refund
- Update internal return statistics

Return – Partially returned

What?

Is triggered when only some of the ordered items have been received, meaning a partial return has arrived and the corresponding stock has been restocked or written off. The order status remains partially fulfilled.

When?

As soon as the partial return has been

  • confirmed in the Pickware Admin using the "Receive return" button

    or

  • saved in the Pickware WMS App (here, too, the return is automatically marked as received in the process).

If an open return already exists, saving it in the app marks it as received.

Why?

- Automatically send a notification about the partial return
- Adjust order status and stock
- Document partial invoice corrections

Shipping – Fully shipped

What?

Is triggered when all items of an order have been fully shipped. The shipping status of the order changes to fully shipped.

When?

After the last shipping operation is completed, e.g. by scanning the last item in the shipping process.

Why?

- Shipping confirmation to the customer
- Automatic invoicing or booking of the sale
- Handover to an accounting system or ERP

Shipping – Partially shipped

What?

This trigger fires when only part of the order has been shipped – for example, with partial deliveries.

When?

As soon as a partial shipment is completed in the shipping process.

Why?

- Notify the customer about a partial delivery — Pickware provides a default email template for this, which lists the shipped line items via the variable shippedLineItems. You can find out more in the article Which settings can I configure for sending emails?
- Inform purchasing or the warehouse that remaining stock is still outstanding
- Create an interim invoice or partial delivery documentation

Reorder – Reorder email sent

What?

Is triggered as soon as a reorder has been sent to a supplier by email.

When?

Directly after the email is sent from the Pickware Admin or from purchasing.

Why?

- Internal notification that the reorder has been sent
- Automatic documentation in the purchasing system
- Set a reminder if no delivery has arrived after x days
