How to build an order management system
Follow these steps in Evonx to order management with orders, fulfillments, and returns. Use the order management template when ops needs a system of record across channels.
Step-by-step
Define order lifecycle
List statuses from capture through fulfillment, cancel, and return before prompting.
Start from the OMS template
Open the order management template or describe orders, lines, and fulfillments explicitly.
Model orders and allocations
Create customers, orders, payments, allocations, shipments, and returns.
Build ops consoles
Ask for exception queues, hold reasons, and multi-warehouse allocation views.
Wire channel and WMS hooks
Integrate Shopify or other channels and release picks to WMS when ready.
Preview exception paths
Validate partial ship, cancel after allocate, and refund paths before merge.
Outcome
Order management software with capture, allocation, fulfillment, and returns you can ship.

Storefronts sell. OMS orchestrates orders across channels and warehouses after capture.
How do I prevent double allocation?
Use transactional inventory reservations and idempotent allocation APIs per order line.
Can B2B and B2C share one OMS?
Yes if you model customer types, price lists, and approval rules without forking core order entities.
