Workflow blueprint

Ecommerce order management must preserve the customer promise across every fulfilment branch

An order evidence rail, not payment confirmation, physical stock, carrier custody, customer receipt, refund execution or accounting treatment.

Retain source order and menu editions, sequence stock proposals, trace partial fulfilment and preserve cancellation, return and refund questions.

TL;DR — Retain source order and menu editions, sequence stock proposals, trace partial fulfilment and preserve cancellation, return and refund questions.
1

Freeze channel order and promise

Keep source payload, customer-facing description, price edition, requested quantity, delivery promise and payment-provider report.

2

Sequence reservation proposals

Relate candidate stock, location, expiry, shortage and authorised release without presenting a system balance as physical truth.

3

Trace each fulfilment branch

Preserve split shipment, substitution request, pick report, carrier message, cancellation and customer-service intervention.

4

Hold returns and refunds for review

Connect return request, parcel report, inspection queue, refund proposal, provider result and accounting question.

Page-specific decision aid

A channel order, customer promise, payment report, reservation, fulfilment branch, cancellation, return, refund question and close rail

The rail follows a two-line marketplace order through a payment-provider message, partial reservation, split dispatch and later cancellation. A returned line and refund request keep separate states until the provider result and finance review are attached.

  • A payment status is not cleared cash.
  • A reservation is not physical stock.
  • A refund request is not a completed refund.
Scope first

What Codeblix would confirm before implementation

This page is an operational blueprint. The final workflow, screens, permissions and integrations depend on your current process and agreed implementation scope.

  • Original channel payloads survive normalisation
  • Partial fulfilment keeps line-level histories
  • Return and refund states remain independent
