To test your order routing you can create “test orders” that you can use to verify that you configuration sends orders to the logistics providers you expect.
Note: You cannot add order expressions to your order routing before first creating a test order.
Create test order
A “test order” is a special type of order that will never actually be sent to a warehouse. You can create test orders either by:
- Click “Create test order” at the test page at My Warehouse -> Orders -> Routing -> Test orders
- Select “Copy as test order” from the “Manage” drop down in the standard order view at My Warhouse -> Orders -> Overview
You can select which logistics provider is expected to receive an order and test if that is the case.
Creating filters for order routing
When you add a filter for a logistics provider in a region for your order routing you must first create a test order. You can then select the test order and click “validate”, and you will get one of three possible responses:
- The filter expression syntax is wrong
- The filter would block the order from the warehouse
- The filter would let the order through to the warehouse
If the syntax is correct you can then go ahead and save the filter.
