what does the Pending Fulfillment status mean?

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

The 'Pending Fulfillment' status in NetSuite refers to a Sales Order that has been approved but not yet fulfilled. This means that the items in the order have not been shipped out yet. Once an Item Fulfillment is created for the order, the status may change to 'Partially Fulfilled' if not all items have been shipped, or 'Pending Billing' if all items have been shipped but the order has not been invoiced yet. Please note that even after an Item Fulfillment is created, the status may still show as 'Pending Fulfillment' until the fulfillment is marked as shipped. This is particularly true if you have the 'pick, pack and ship' feature turned on in NetSuite. If you are looking to create a saved search to filter out orders that have created Item Fulfillments, you can look at the status field in your search criteria. You may refer to the NetSuite help article on transaction status values for the exact status value to use in your search. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
