Creating a fulfillment "Line items are already fulfilled" but there are no fulfillments on the order

[Andrew-Corknine]

Hello,

When creating a fulfillment via the rest API for several orders on each shop I am getting an error of

"Line items are already fulfilled".

However if I query the fulfillments endpoint for the order it shows that there are no fulfillments.  The fulfillment status recorded on the line item is null.  And the merchant reports that the order is not displayed as fulfilled and they get an error when attempting to manually fulfill the items.

Does anyone have any idea what would cause this kind of lock?  I am unable to fix the fulfillments as when we attempt to create one they it is reporting that it is already fulfilled but the merchant and api are reporting that the orders are not yet fulfilled and have no fulfillments?

I encountered this recently with someone else. The issue was identified and a fix was deployed at around the same time you made this post, is this ongoing for you?

Cheers.

Yes,

I am still having this issue on several shops.  I can let you know the order id's if needed.  Please let me know what can be done to resolve this.

Thanks for confirming. Yes, order IDs would be appreciated and I can take a look at what might still be going on.

Cheers.

Thanks Alex,

It looks like the remaining ones were a different error where the fulfillment could not be created on orders that had been cancelled.  Thanks for the help.

Hi,
I also facing the same problem,
I get response "base - Line items are already fulfilled".
and I am using https://help.shopify.com/en/api/reference/shipping-and-fulfillment/fulfillment this api  "Fulfill an order using a non-supported tracking company without a tracking URL (generates best guess URL if the number matches the recognizable pattern)"

I have an order at this time which has 1 fulfillment. I cancelled the fulfillment since the order was returned by the post office to us. However, for some reason each individual line item within the order is still marked as fulfilled, so we cannot create any further fulfillments. If anyone wants to look into this the order id is 1912362762323 and the fulfillment id is  1801485549651.

I got the same error when trying to fulfill a refunded order. In this case, the order was fulfilled and was shipped out

and at the same time, the order was refunded. 

I think this case is not strange to most people?

Thanks!

Have you been able to figure this out? I'm running into this issue now and the order I'm having the issue for has no fulfillments. Not sure why it's trying to tell me that the item has already been fulfilled.

Hi there,

i am experiencing exactly he same issue: i read assigned_fulfillment_orders and whenever i want to create a fulfillment for one of the orders i get the "Line items are already fulfilled"-error. A query for existing fulfillments returns an empty set.

This is a testshop, so i have no problems posting the ids here: the order-id is 3918741799064, and this the corresponding fulfillment-order-id is 4895349768344

I really would appreciate if someone from shopify coud take a look at it, as i am at the end of my wits...

Regards, Volker

We are experiencing the same issue when fulfillling orders. Although all of the order's item are unfulfilled we receive exact the same error message: 

"base":["Line item '11436285395004' is already fulfilled"]
