You can now use an order's weight to trigger actions using
Order Rules
, giving you precise control over how orders are processed. This update adds two new
weight conditions
.
Total Order Weight (for Purchase Orders)
This is a straightforward calculation that sums the
weight of all line items
on your inbound order.
This allows you to easily automate the logic for your
purchase orders
. For example, if a PO is over 100kg, you can set a specific status or send a notification.
Shipment Weight (for Sales Orders)
This is a
dynamic
condition, which you can find under
Target Variables
:
  • Default (Order Level)
    : If used normally, it calculates the total weight of the entire SO.
  • Dynamic (Shipment Level)
    : If you place it after a
    Split Shipment
    action, it intelligently calculates the weight for each new, individual shipment separately.
This allows you to apply different
logic to different shipments
from the same order. For example, if an order is split into two shipments, you can send each one using different carriers, based on the shipment weight.
How to Find It
  1. Edit a
    Purchase
    or
    Sales Order Rule
    .
  2. Press
    Add
    and click on
    Condition
    .
  3. Edit the condition and:
  • For
    POs
    , select
    Total Order Weight
    .

    SOs
    , select
    Shipment Weight
    from the
    Target Variables
    category.

⚠️ All calculations use the
default Unit of Measure
(e.g., kg or lb) from your Account Settings. If a product's
weight
is
missing
in the catalog, it will be treated as
0
.
