What It Does

1. Checks if a shipment is provided
2. If no shipment is provided, completes successfully with no changes
3. Updates order properties to reflect the current shipment state and reallocation status

Prerequisites

• The step is typically used in shipment-level workflows

Side Effects

• Updates order properties to reflect reallocation state
• Affects available order statuses in subsequent processing

Business Cases

When to Use

• After reallocation: Update order metadata to reflect new warehouse assignments
• Status-dependent workflows: When order status transitions depend on knowing whether reallocation has occurred
• Reporting: Capture reallocation information for analytics and reporting

Example Scenarios

Scenario: Post-Reallocation Processing After using TryReallocateOnCancel, add this step to update order metadata so the workflow can correctly determine available next statuses.
