Mark Order Process Shipping Label Printed
Automatically process orders after a defined time interval once their shipping label has been printed, ensuring controlled and accurate workflow execution.
Overview
The RIS-SM-1016 – MarkOrderProcessShippingLabelPrinted macro automates order processing based on shipping label activity.
It monitors when a label is printed and processes the order only after a specified delay, ensuring proper workflow sequencing.
Schedule this macro for best results to maintain continuous and automated order processing.
Purpose
This macro:
- Detects orders with printed shipping labels
- Applies a time-based delay
- Processes eligible orders automatically
- Ensures workflow accuracy
👉 In short:
Process orders automatically after label printing and a defined delay.
When It Runs
Used for post-shipping automation
Typically runs:
- Scheduled (recommended)
- Manually triggered (if required)
- After shipping label generation
Parameters
Time delay (in minutes) after label printing before processing the order.
Example:
minutes = 30
Meaning:
Orders will be processed 30 minutes after label printing.
How It Works
Fetch Open Orders
Retrieve all open orders from the system.
Filter Eligible Orders
Select orders where:
- Shipping label is printed
- No label errors exist
Retrieve Audit Logs
Fetch audit trail data in batches (50 orders per batch).
Identify Label Print Event
Locate audit event: SHIPPING_LABEL_
Extract the label print timestamp.
Validate Time Condition
Calculate time difference:
Current Time − Label Printed Time
If greater than configured minutes → eligible for processing.
Process Orders
Send eligible orders for batch processing and mark them as processed.
Handle Failures
Log any orders that fail during processing.
Final Result
- Orders processed automatically after delay
- Only label-printed orders are considered
- Controlled and accurate workflow execution
- Failures logged for review
Usefulness
This macro is highly beneficial for:
- Eliminating manual order processing
- Ensuring consistent shipping workflows
- Preventing premature order processing
- Improving warehouse efficiency
- Automating post-label operations
Important Notes
- Works only for orders where LabelPrinted = true
- Relies on audit event SHIPPING_LABEL_
- No null check for label print timestamp (may cause errors)
- Processes all eligible open orders (performance impact possible)
- Uses batch size of 50 due to API limits
Example Scenario
Key Insight
Combining audit trail tracking with time-based automation ensures orders are processed only when ready, improving accuracy and preventing premature workflow execution.
