For example, I have customers that order an item that we've agreed to warehouse and fulfill on demand. I’m trying to figure out how to effectively communicate with the warehouse how much to fulfill and when given that in most cases the who order would be committed.

@Jon Farncomb Hmm, that's an interesting situation. I don't think there is a simple answer. NS is basically built to fulfill if you can. I think you'll need some sort of customization. It could be as simple as adding a custom field to pass the info along to the IF, but likely much more complex if communication between departments needs to be more rigorous. I'd recommend you engage some reputable technical consultant to design something solid

I think I’ve arrived at the same conclusion. I’m just surprised this isn’t a requirement of other Wholesale Distributors. I was hoping there was a function using transfers or fulfillment requests but those functions seem to be designed more for inter company management.
I’ve also tried to conceptualize a solution using locations or inventory status. Does anyone else have a similar workflow or business case that might help provide some insight?
