Zusammenfassung:An order management system permits the filling of orders for items. The items are supplied from fulfillment centres or from suppliers enrolled in electronic marketplaces. The order management system has a set of fulfillment centre objects that represent fulfillment centres. There is a release to fulfillment object for associating one or more items in an order with one of the fulfillment centres. Fulfillment instructions for items associated with a fulfillment centre object are sent to the corresponding fulfillment centre. In the order management system, electronic marketplaces are able to be represented as fulfillment centre objects to permit release to fulfillment steps to be carried out for the electronic marketplaces in a manner similar to that used when items are to be fulfilled from regular fulfillment centres.
