Fulfillment States

A fulfillment status is tracked on each order line item, as well as the order itself. Order line items are grouped by fulfillment status.

Order status

The order fulfillment status indicates the stage of order fulfillment. There are four main statuses related to fulfillments:

Status	Description
Unfulfilled	No fulfillments exist or all are canceled.
Partially Fulfilled	Some fulfillments are done.
Fulfilled	All order lines are fulfilled.
Cancelled	Order and its fulfillments are canceled.

Fulfillment status

In addition to the order status, each fulfillment logged against an order has its own state.

Status	Description
Fulfilled	The lines have been fulfilled.
Cancelled	The fulfillment has been cancelled. Line items return to the Unfulfilled state to be fulfilled at a later time.
Returned	The lines have been returned.
Declined	The lines have been declined, for example if the stock cannot be fulfilled. The lines are removed from the order total.
