Glue statuses

This document describes different order and shipment statuses used by Glue service. Note that status handling might be slightly different between version 2 and 3 of the Glue API. However, we are trying to maintain integrity of statuses even in case where Retailer and Supplier are using different versions of the APIs.

Intermediate statuses indicate that orders are in fulfillment process, whereas final status indicate if an order was processed successfully or not. Once the order has the final status it should not have any further updates.

Shipments API allows to use statuses other than those below but it is not recommended as it may result unwanted behaviour in overall process.

Status value is case sensitive, it should be always written as described below, written with capital as a first letter with exception of orderRouted.

Status Description Order Shipment V2 V3 Final status of the order?
Draft

Order status is draft when order is created through Glue UI and it has not been placed yet.

Currently used with Posti’s warehouse service.

x x FALSE
Accepted

When order was sent to Glue and it passed validations then order status is Accepted. Normally this status is available only few seconds before it is changed to Created.

If an order do not pass validations, then the order is rejected by the API and it’s not created to Glue.

x x FALSE
orderRouted

If creation of the shipment to supplier was successful then status is changed to orderRouted.

x x FALSE
Routed

If creation of the shipment to supplier was successful then status is changed to Routed.

x x FALSE
Created

If creation of the shipment to supplier was successful then status is changed to Created.

Shipment with status Created is new shipment.

x x x FALSE
Submitted

If Posti has exported the shipment to external systems like WMS, ALSO or Tradeplace and export was successful then status is changed to Submitted.

x x x FALSE
Viewed

If order was viewed by supplier using Glue UI. Supplier’s should also update the status to Viewed if they got order using the API.

x x x x FALSE
Picking

Intermediate/additional status that reflects the current status of the order in the workflow. If order is processed using Glue UI then this status is used.

Suppliers who are using APIs to processes orders are not obligated to update to this status.

x x x x FALSE
Packing

Intermediate/additional status that reflects the current status of the order in the workflow. If order is processed using Glue UI then this status is used.

Suppliers who are using APIs to processes orders are not obligated to update to this status.

x x x x FALSE
Error

When routing order to supplier (inside Glue) or exporting to external systems like WMS, ALSO or Tradeplace and export fails then order status is changed to Error.

x x x x FALSE
On Hold

Status applies to warehouse service sales orders. If order contains products that have balance 0 or less then order status is updated to “On hold”. This means that warehouse cant process the order until principal has not made purchase order to order new goods to warehouse.

x x x x FALSE
Receiving

Status applies to warehouse service purchase orders.

x x x x FALSE
Cancelled

When supplier cant deliver the order (for example out of stock etc.) or any other process errors on suppliers side the order status is changed to Cancelled.

x x x TRUE
Delivered Partially

When order was split to multiple suppliers and one of them delivers their part of the order then the order status is changed to Delivered Partially.

x x x FALSE
Delivered

When order has been delivered by all suppliers (even if one delivered their shipment and other cancelled their shipment) then final status of the order is set to Delivered.

Order should have updated values for deliveredQuantity. We cannot say if all products have been delivered if deliveredQuantity is missing and the status is Delivered.
