Order Management Rules (OMR) Available Actions [Information]

Modified on Wed, 22 Jul at 4:37 PM

You can define precise automated behaviors for your shipments using Order Management Rules (OMR) actions. These actions allow you to manipulate order data, override carrier selections, and trigger specific system workflows when your configured conditions are met.

This article explains all the evaluation fields available within the Action builder drop-downs in techSHIP, grouped by their compatible loop levels.


	To learn how to build and configure an OMR, refer to What's New in Order Management Rules (OMR) for Rule Sets in techSHIP [Guide].

As a best practice, always ensure your active evaluation level matches the category of the action you select.

While all actions remain selectable in the drop-down regardless of your current loop level, a level mismatch can cause unexpected behavior:

Evaluating upwards: If you are inside a Line loop and select an Order action (e.g., Instruction), the system correctly applies the change to the overall order header data.
Evaluating downwards: If you are at the Order level and select a Line action (e.g., SKU), the engine may return inaccurate results or fail to apply the action, as it cannot determine which specific item to modify without an active loop.
