Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with identifying and generating pick lists for ordered items in delivery containers with mixed non-delineated inventory are described. In one embodiment, a method includes identifying whether a container includes ordered items that are mixed with items for a general inventory of a retail store. The container is a delivery container provided from a warehouse to supply the retail store. The ordered items are items for fulfilling one or more of a plurality of customer orders. The example method may also include generating an electronic pick list for the container in response to identifying that the container includes the ordered items. The electronic pick list identifies the ordered items in the container and causes the ordered items to be diverted from the general inventory of the retail store when the container is unpacked.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with order fulfillment using overage tolerance to verify amounts of variable quantity items are described. In one embodiment, a method includes receiving, in a device, a customer order for an item. The customer order indicates at least an ordered amount of the item. The example method may also include determining a unit type of the item. The unit type defines whether the item is measured in discrete unitary quantities or is measured in variable quantities. The method may also include verifying that a picked amount of the item for the customer order is within an overage tolerance of the ordered amount when the unit type indicates variable quantities. The overage tolerance is an upper bound over the ordered amount that is permissible to satisfy the customer order.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with concurrently using multiple units of measure are described. In one embodiment, a method includes providing, on an electronic display, a user interface that includes a representation of at least one product by generating the user interface with a selected one of two or more units of measure for the product according to at least a context of the user interface. The context is defined according to at least a role of the user interface within an inventory management system. The two or more units of measure include a standard unit of measure and at least one transaction unit of measure. The method includes maintaining, in an electronic database that includes records of an inventory, one or more records associated with the product by maintaining the records concurrently using the two or more units of measure.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with modifying electronic orders during fulfillment are described. In one embodiment, a computing system includes order logic configured to receive a cancellation request to modify an electronic order that is for one or more items sold through an electronic commerce source. The cancellation request is a request from a customer to modify an ordered quantity of the one or more items according to a cancelled quantity indicated in the cancellation request. The computing system includes an update logic configured to update the electronic order by modifying fulfillment of the electronic order according to a status and the cancelled quantity. The status indicates progress in fulfilling the electronic order from inventory of the electronic commerce source.
