Fulfillment/cancellation flow

Learn more about the fulfillment/cancellation flow.

Fulfillment/cancellation model

In this model, listen for the order.accepted event before initiating the Fulfillment/cancellation process.

Fulfillments/cancellations are done in two ways:

  • Order level fulfillment/cancellation

  • Line level fulfillment/cancellation

Partial line level fulfillments/cancellations are not supported at this time.

Order level fulfillment/cancellation

An Order Level fulfillment/cancellation request to Digital River can be initiated by changing/updating the Digital River Order State field on the order in question as follows:

  • For Order level fulfillment, change/update the Digital River Order State field on the order to fulfilled.

  • For Order level cancellation, change/update 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 record(s) corresponding to each order item in the Order that has not been previously fulfilled or cancelled.

  • Relevant fields on Digital River Fulfillment object get updated with Digital River and Salesforce order-related information accordingly (for example, Digital River Order State).

  • Creation of corresponding DR Line Item Fulfillment records for each order line item that has not previously been fulfilled or cancelled.

  • The Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job on its next scheduled run, transmits relevant line item fulfillment/cancellation requests pertaining to a given order to Digital River.

  • Once Digital River processes the relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests successfully for a given order, the Digital River Fulfillment Status field is set to complete on both (a) Digital River Fulfillment object for the order in question and on (b) 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 in question. Refer to the DR Fulfillment Request Log object section for details on this record.

  • When fulfillment/cancellation request records are created in DR Fulfillment Request Log, corresponding line item level requests are also created in Digital River Line Item Fulfillments for each of the order line-item records being fulfilled/cancelled.

  • The Fulfillment/Cancellation batch job on its next scheduled run, transmits relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests about a given order to Digital River.

  • Once Digital River processes the relevant line-item fulfillment/cancellation requests successfully for a given order, the Digital River Fulfillment Status field is set to completed on relevant DR Line Item Fulfillment objects for the order.

  • The Digital River Fulfillment Status field will not be updated to completed in Digital River Fulfillment until all the line items are fulfilled/cancelled. Until then, the status will remain open.

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

Fulfill Quantity

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

Since Partial Fulfillment/Cancellation is not supported at this time, only one of the two fields (Fulfill Quantity or Cancel Quantity) needs to be populated (with the full line item quantity) and the other should be 0.

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.

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.
