1. Fulfillment Policy:
There are three fulfillment policies for outbound orders.
a. FillOrKill
b. FillAll
c. FillAllAvailable
a. FillOrKill:
- This means either the entire order is to be fulfilled or the entire order is to be canceled. Partial fulfillment is not allowed.
- If an item in a fulfillment order is determined to be unfulfillable before any shipment, the order moves to the Pending status (here, the process of picking units from inventory has begun), then the entire order is considered unfulfilled.
- However, if an item in a fulfillment order is determined to be unfulfillable after a shipment, the order moves to pending status and Amazon cancels to fulfill as much of the order as possible.
b. FillAll:
- All fulfillable items in the fulfillment order are shipped. The fulfillment order remains in a processing state until all items are either shipped by Amazon or canceled by the seller.
C. FillAllAvailable:
- All fulfillable items in the fulfillment order will be shipped. All unfulfillable items in the order are canceled by Amazon.

a. Ship
b. Hold
a. Ship: The fulfillment order ships now.
b. Hold: An order hold is put on the fulfillment order.
