In this model, listen for the order.accepted event before initiating the fulfillment/cancellation process.
There are two ways to do fulfillments/cancellations:
Order level fulfillment/cancellation
Line level fulfillment/cancellation
Fulfillment/cancellation flow sequence diagram
Order level fulfillment/cancellation
You can initiate an Order level fulfillment/cancellation request to Digital River by changing/updating the Digital River Order State field on a specific order as follows:
For Order level fulfillment, change the Digital River Order State field on the order to fulfilled.
For Order level cancellation, change the Digital River Order State field on the order to cancelled.
Changing the DR Order State field value to either fulfilled or cancelled on an order will result in the following:
Triggers the creation of DR Fulfillment Request Log records corresponding to each order item in the Order that has not been previously fulfilled or cancelled. The Fulfillment/Cancel Quantity on the Fulfillment Request Log records will be set equal to the DR Open Quantity value on the Order Item.
Updates the relevant fields on the Digital River Fulfillment object with Digital River and Salesforce order-related information (for example, Digital River Order State).
Creates corresponding DR Line Item Fulfillment records for each order line item that has not previously been fulfilled or cancelled.
The Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job run transmits relevant line item fulfillment/cancellation requests on a given order to Digital River on its next scheduled.
Once Digital River processes the relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests successfully for an order, the Digital River Fulfillment Status field is set to complete on both:
The Digital River Fulfillment object for the order
The DR Line Item Fulfillment objects for the order
Line item level fulfillment/cancellation
A line item level fulfillment/cancellation request to Digital River can be initiated by creating the relevant DR Fulfillment Request Log record for the line-item level record. See the DR Fulfillment Request Log object for details on this record.
You can create the DR Fulfillment Request Log record for the line-item level record by populating the Salesforce Order Number, Salesforce Order Item Id, Fulfillment Quantity, and Cancel Quantity fields. The Digital River app populates all the other fields automatically.
You can initiate complete line-item fulfillment by setting the Fulfill Quantity to the Full Quantity of the Line Item. Similarly, you can initiate complete line-item cancellation by setting the Cancel Quantity to the Full Quantity of the line item.
You can initiate partial line-item fulfillment by setting the Fulfill Quantity to a number less than the Full Quantity of the line item. Similarly, you can initiate partial line-item cancellation by setting the Cancel Quantity to a number less than the Full Quantity of the line item.
You can create the DR Fulfillment Request Log record by setting both Fulfill Quantity and Cancel Quantity for a line item in a single request. The sum of the fulfill quantity and cancel quantity must be less than or equal to the DR Open Quantity field on the line-item record.
When the system creates fulfillment/cancellation request log records, it also creates the corresponding line item level requests in Digital River Line Item Fulfillments for each of the fulfilled/cancelled order line-item records (for both partially and completely fulfilled/cancelled line items). You can either completely fulfill or cancelled each line item (for example, your Line item Qty = 10 and you fulfill 10) or partially fulfill or cancel some of the line items (for example, your Line item Qty = 10, and you fulfill 5).
The Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job transmits relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests for an order to Digital River on its next scheduled run.
Once Digital River processes the relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests successfully for an order, the system sets the Digital River Fulfillment Status field to completed on the relevant DR Line Item Fulfillment objects for the order.
The system does not set the Digital River Fulfillment Status field to completed in Digital River Fulfillment until all the line items are fulfilled/cancelled. Until then, the status will remain open.
When the Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job finishes, the Digital River Order Item state on the relevant OrderItem records will be set to one of the following states:
Fulfilled–If the DR Fulfilled Quantity is greater than zero and equal to the Purchased OrderItem Quantity.
partially_fulfilled–If the DR Fulfilled Quantity is greater than zero and less than the Purchased OrderItem Quantity.
cancelled–If the DR Cancelled Quantity is greater than zero and equal to the Purchased OrderItem Quantity.
partially_cancelled–If the DR Cancelled Quantity is greater than zero and less than the Purchased OrderItem Quantity.
The sum of the fulfill quantity or cancel quantity on the DR Fulfillment Request Log record must always be less than or equal to the DR Open Quantity value on the OrderItem record
Fulfillment/cancellation batch job
When the scheduled digitalriverv3.DRB2B_OrderFulfillmentBatchJobruns, it transmits relevant line-item level fulfillment/cancellation requests (pertaining to both Order level and Line-item level fulfillment/cancellation requests) to Digital River.
Custom fulfillment/cancellation objects
The following custom objects are part of the fulfillment/cancellation process:
DR Fulfillment Request Log
Digital River Fulfillment
DR Line Item Fulfillment
DR Fulfillment Request Log object
Custom DR Fulfillment Request Log object is used to store Fulfillment/Cancellation requests related transaction logs information from the client application for Order level or Line-item level fulfillment/cancellation requests.
A DR Fulfillment Request Log record should be created (either manually or through automation) whenever an order or order line item is fulfilled/cancelled on the client side.
The DR Fulfillment Request Log custom object has the following custom fields in it:
Field label
Description
Order Id
Salesforce Order Id
Order Item Id
Salesforce Order Item Id
Fulfill Quantity
Specifies Order item quantity to fulfill
Cancel Quantity
Specifies Order item quantity to cancel
DR Order Id
The Digital River Order Id
DR Order State
The state of the Digital River order
DR OrderItem Id
The Digital River Order Item Id
The DR Fulfillment Request Log record (fulfillment/cancellation request) creation requires the following fields to be populated:
Order Id
OrderItem Id
Fulfill Quantity
Cancel Quantity
Digital River Line Item Fulfillments and Digital River Fulfillment objects
When a DR Fulfillment Request Log record is created for fulfillment/cancellation request, corresponding line-level fulfillment/cancellation requests are automatically created in Digital River Line Item Fulfillments.
When Salesforce receives an order.accepted event for an order, a corresponding Order level Fulfillment record is created in the Digital River Fulfillment object.
When a fulfillment occurs at the order level, a corresponding DR Line Item Fulfillment object is automatically created for each line item that has not previously been fulfilled or cancelled.
When a line item is fulfilled/cancelled, a corresponding DR Line Item Fulfillment object is automatically created.
Digital River Fulfillment object
This object contains the Order Level Fulfillment/Cancellation information.
Field label
Description

Once the order has been created, the DR Open Quantity field on the Order Item object will be updated and set to the actual purchased quantity.
Once a successful response is received from DR for fulfillment/cancellation requests, the Digital River Order Item State and DR Fulfilled Quantity/DR Canceled Quantity are updated on the Order Item object.
Once a fulfillment/cancellation request for a particular order line item is successfully processed by Digital River, the DR Order Item State field will be set to fulfilled/cancelled and the DR Fulfilled Quantity/DR Canceled Quantity to the quantity in fulfillment/cancellation request respectively.
The DR Open Quantity field will be updated once DR Fulfillment Request Log record is created. This will be changed to zero so that no future requests are made for already fulfilled/cancelled line items.
The following screenshots show an Order Item before it is fulfilled/cancelled:
The following screenshot shows an Order Item after it is fulfilled/cancelled:
Fulfillment/cancellation batch flow
The Salesforce Lightning app comes with the ability to batch Fulfillments/Cancellations Line Item requests. You can enable the ability to batch Fulfillment/Cancellations Line Item requests and define the wait time interval when you configure the fulfillment/cancellation settings. The wait time interval defines how long the app will wait after the first fulfillment/cancellation request before sending all pending requests for that order to Digital River. NOTE: The interval does not affect the schedule of the fulfillment batch job.
The following list shows the fulfillment/cancellation batch flow.
Fulfillment/cancellation batch job will pull in all DR Order Fulfillment records when:
The DR Fulfillment Status is either Open or Reprocess.
Eligible for Fulfillment is true. That is, the system received the order.accepted event.
There are Child DR Line Item Fulfillment records in the Open or Reprocess states.
Process each DR Order Fulfillment record.
If the corresponding Order is completely fulfilled/cancelled (that is., the DR Open quantity field on all the line items is 0), then the relevant line-item level fulfillment/cancellation requests (on both Order level and Line-Item level fulfillment/cancellation requests) are sent to Digital River.
The system will batch all the Open DR line Item fulfillment requests as a single request.
The connector will wait for the specified time interval (in minutes) after the system receives the first line item fulfillment request for an Order.
If the difference between the earliest created DR Line Item Fulfillment record (with an Open or Reprocess status) corresponding to the DR Fulfillment record and the configured time is greater than 0 by the time the batch job runs, then all Line Item fulfillment/cancellation requests received for this Order will be batched together into a single request and sent to Digital River.
If you set Batch Fulfillments to false, then all line item fulfillment cancellation requests (with an open or Reprocess status) received for this Order will be sent to Digital River at the time the scheduled job runs.
