Auto create warehouse shipment in Business Central

Topic summary

Goal: Automatically create Warehouse Shipments in Business Central for Sales Orders that are synced from Shopify, using only standard functionality (no customization).

Current setup in Shopify Shops (Business Central connector):

  • Auto Sync Orders: enabled
  • Auto Create Sales Orders: enabled
  • Auto Release Sales Orders: enabled

Key question: Can Warehouse Shipments be auto-created from these Shopify-imported Sales Orders out-of-the-box, beyond auto-release, without custom extensions or manual steps?

Constraints: Seeks a native, configuration-based solution only; already leveraging the Shopify connector’s automation features.

Status: Inquiry only; no answers or resolution provided yet. The feasibility of automatic Warehouse Shipment creation without customization remains an open question.
