Step 12. Create a shipment

In the previous step, the SSA recommended shipping 35 24-WB01 items and 20 24-WB03 items from the Northeast warehouse. It also recommended shipping 5 24-WB01 items from the West warehouse.

You can always override the SSA recommendations. It would be valid, for example, to ship 25 24-WB01 items and 5 24-WB03 items each from the Brooklyn, Manhattan, and Huntington stores.

Fulfilling the order requires a minimum of two partial shipments. In this example, we will follow the SSA recommendations.

When you complete a partial or full shipment, Adobe Commerce deducts the reserved products from corresponding sources.
