Abstract

A method for determining recipients of required notices in an order processing system includes initializing a line item set of orders, each line item in the set including at least a fulfiller indicator and an indication of a bundle group, and mapping line items to a bundle group to form a bundle group map. The method further includes storing the bundle group map for pre-orders which will ship at a later promise date. The promise date is also stored. If there is a future promise date the bundled group may be a pre-ordered bundle of line items. The line items are the products ordered. The method also includes associating rules with the bundle group, including at least one rule related to required notices. If at least one of the line items associated with a bundle group is not fulfilled by the promise date, compare the current date to the promise date, and apply the rules to the at least one line item in the bundle group. In some embodiments the notice will list the other line items not yet sent to the customer.
