Mark an order shipped

Shipped is the final stage of an order. Marking it closes the order and finalizes the stock movement.

How an order gets to shipped

Once an order is fully packed, it’s ready to ship. When it physically leaves — handed to the carrier — mark it shipped from Operations → Shipping.

What happens when you ship

• Stock is deducted. The reserved units are removed from inventory for good — see How stock reservations work.
• The order closes and moves to the Shipped queue.
• Tracking is attached, if a carrier is connected — see Connect a shipping carrier.
• The order appears in shipment history.

Ship when it actually leaves

Mark an order shipped when the box is genuinely gone, not when it’s packed and waiting in outbound staging. Shipping too early makes your stock count and your “what’s still here” view disagree with the floor.

Multi-box orders

All boxes of a multi-box order ship together as one order. Confirm every box is on the truck before you mark it.

Tip: a packed order sitting unshipped in staging still shows as work-in-progress. Mark it shipped at the carrier handover and your queues stay honest.
