Automated Cin7 Backorder Fulfillment Worklist

Every morning, WebRun opens Cin7, identifies all sales orders currently on backorder, checks whether new stock received overnight can fulfill any of them, and posts a prioritized pick-and-dispatch worklist to Slack so your warehouse team clears backorders before processing new orders.

In short

How do I automatically match new stock arrivals in Cin7 to waiting backorders each morning?

WebRun opens Cin7 every morning, reads all backlogged sales orders, and matches them against stock received overnight. It ranks fulfillable backorders by order age and posts a pick-ready worklist to Slack so your warehouse team clears oldest backorders first thing, reducing customer wait times without anyone manually cross-referencing orders and stock.

  • Backorders cleared the same morning new stock is received
  • Oldest customer orders prioritized automatically without manual cross-referencing
  • Warehouse team starts each day with a ready-to-act pick list in Slack

Questions, answered

Will it automatically dispatch the backorders or notify customers?

No. WebRun posts the fulfillment worklist to your warehouse team in Slack. Dispatching and customer notifications are human steps, so no order ships and no customer is contacted without your team acting on the list.

How does it prioritize which backorder to fulfill first?

WebRun allocates available stock to the oldest backorder first by order date. If you have a different allocation rule, such as priority customers first, tell WebRun during setup and it will apply your rule instead.

What happens when stock is insufficient to fill all backorders?

WebRun lists fully fulfillable orders first, then partial-fill options, clearly noting quantities available versus quantities needed so your team can make allocation decisions with full visibility.
