The carrier selected must be Walmart Carrier and WFS method, and the items must exist in Walmart or it will throw an error.
Once the order is created, it must be saved.
- Check for errors in the IO.

- Request shipping labels.
After the IO has been created in the processing view by clicking get label it will retrieve a Carrier Label from Walmart (FedEx label) based on the order details.
- Provide the shipment tracking information.
After the label is printed and the order is marked as shipped Shipedge Walmart will be informed of all the shipment details.
- Cancel an IO.
In the OMS there is the possibility to cancel an IO sent to Walmart by pressing the cancel button.
