Use casesEcommerce order exceptions

Keep fulfilment blockers attached to the affected order line.

Give support and fulfilment the same view of order-line exceptions and customer choices.

Build a ecommerce order exceptions app in First.new. Give support and fulfilment the same view of order-line exceptions and customer choices. Include Order, order line, payment status reference, fulfilment state, available quantity, exception, customer choice and support owner. Design useful views for Customer support agent, Fulfilment lead and Order coordinator. Use fictional data to show this scenario: A sample paid order includes two lamps, but only one is available. The reviewer records the one-unit shortage without changing the paid state. The next action should be clear: Keep payment status separate from stock readiness and the next fulfilment decision. Let me change the fields, stages and review rules. For ecommerce order exceptions, agree the handoff between Order coordinator, Inventory reviewer, Customer support agent. The first version should identify who may change the decision and who only needs to see its outcome. Do not treat external services or access rules as connected or verified until implemented and checked.
