Considerations for Ship Confirm Rules

You must set up all the ship confirm rules in a manner that they're reusable and service varied needs of different organizations.

You can have only one default ship confirm rule per organization and the this rule is associated by the shipping parameters for the organization. Before setting up default shipping rules, consider:

• Understand shipping processes and anticipate current and future needs of the organization

• Follow naming conventions

• Associate the most commonly used rules while defining shipping parameters

Understand shipping processes

You must understand the shipping processes to be able to evaluate and anticipate current and future needs of your organization before defining shipping rules. Consider the most commonly used scenario for the business so that the scenario will be served well with the default rule. This will enable you to create effective rules that optimize performance and reduce the need for granularity, which in turn reduces maintenance.

Follow naming conventions

You must follow naming conventions so as to minimize chances of confusion resulting out of cryptic naming.

Associate most commonly used rules

You must associate the most commonly used rules while defining shipping parameters. For example, you must associate a rule that's used most frequently in your organization. This enables you to minimize the need for overriding the default ship confirm rule.
