# Order Fulfilment Order fulfilment covers fulfilment as a process. It starts when an order or shipping instruction is received and ends when the goods are prepared for collection by the transporter.
### What order fulfilment means Order fulfilment is the process of taking an order and breaking it down into the right units, packaging types, and dispatch format. An order may need to be fulfilled through bottle picking, case picking, repacking, or pallet preparation depending on the product type, the quantities ordered, and the transport requirement. That makes order fulfilment the broader process layer that sits above the individual fulfilment methods. ### How order fulfilment works Once an order is received, the warehouse determines: * the unit quantities to be picked * whether the order should move as single units, full cases, or palletised loads * whether the original packaging is suitable for the transport method * whether repacking is required * what the final dispatch-ready format should be Order fulfilment is complete when the goods are ready to leave the warehouse. ### Why order fulfilment matters Order fulfilment matters because it is the process that connects order intake to physical outbound execution. It determines how the goods are prepared, how efficiently they are handled, and whether they leave the warehouse in the right format for transport. ### Order fulfilment with Lexir Order fulfilment with Lexir means turning each outbound instruction into the right picking, packing, and dispatch outcome, based on the product, the quantity, the packaging logic, and the transport requirement. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
