Newbie looking for Guidance on Order Processing Steps. I reviewed “Getting Started” tutorial video which spends about 5 seconds on Order Processing and Reviewed On-Line manual. No joy.

Haven’t gone live yet but this is our proposed Step – by – Step Procedure:

STEP #1 VIEW > MANAGE ORDERS
( Note our App Config is set to AUTH CAPTURE so orders have already been Captured.)

STEP #2 Set Radio Button to Bulk Printing to view pending new orders as “Pick List” an pull items.

STEP #3 Return to General View and on an Order by Order Basis, Check “MARK AS READY TO SHIP”
( We are using Shipworks for USPS and Fed Ex Label Printing) This step seems VERY manual intensive to be done on order by order basis.

STEP #4 In Shipworks we capture orders from ASPDN and weigh, print labels/packing slip and Shipworks
Provides link / Tracking number depending on USPS or Fed Ex to customer e-mail.

STEP #5 Return to ASPDN Console and on Order by Order basis check “MARK AS SHIPPED” which
Also sends confirmation e-Mail to customer. (may turn that e-mail “Send Shipped Emails” to No)

This seems like a very time intensive and manual process. In reading the Documentation it
mentions creating “Order Management” via WSI nodes in XML but we have no experience in that.

Are the above manual steps the only way to process orders without some sort of custom XML coding or is there any built in functionality to bulk process orders I am not seeing? (specifically setting “Ready to ship” and “Mark as Shipped” in a list form vs. “General View”)

Thanks for any guidance or direction on Step-by-step procedure.
