11/29/11 FWIW, this is a reasonable thing in my client's operation... "processing inbound orders" - the ones which are not canceled - results in immediate preparation of master pick lists, shipping labels, FedEx manifests, customer-logoed packing slips (these are all drop-ship orders) , generation of order acknowledgments (ANSI '855') and allocation of inventory.
Total elapsed time between "start processing orders" and all this stuff being completed? Maybe 10 minutes depending on volume. That is, it really is true that an order reaches a "not possible to cancel" status quite quickly! Michael C. Mattias Tal Systems Inc.
