AdminTypes.Mutation.fulfillmentOrderMove property

Changes the location which is assigned to fulfill a number of unfulfilled fulfillment order line items.

Moving a fulfillment order will fail in the following circumstances:

* The fulfillment order is closed. * The destination location has never stocked the requested inventory item. * The API client doesn’t have the correct permissions.

Line items which have already been fulfilled can’t be re-assigned and will always remain assigned to the original location.

You can’t change the assigned location while a fulfillment order has a [request status](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/enums/FulfillmentOrderRequestStatus) of SUBMITTED, ACCEPTED, CANCELLATION_REQUESTED, or CANCELLATION_REJECTED. These request statuses mean that a fulfillment order is awaiting action by a fulfillment service and can’t be re-assigned without first having the fulfillment service accept a cancellation request. This behavior is intended to prevent items from being fulfilled by multiple locations or fulfillment services.

### How re-assigning line items affects fulfillment orders

**First scenario:** Re-assign all line items belonging to a fulfillment order to a new location.

In this case, the [assignedLocation](https://shopify.dev/docs/api/admin-graphql/latest/objects/fulfillmentorder#field-fulfillmentorder-assignedlocation) of the original fulfillment order will be updated to the new location.

**Second scenario:** Re-assign a subset of the line items belonging to a fulfillment order to a new location. You can specify a subset of line items using the fulfillmentOrderLineItems parameter (available as of the 2023-04 API version), or specify that the original fulfillment order contains line items which have already been fulfilled.

If the new location is already assigned to another active fulfillment order, on the same order, then a new fulfillment order is created. The existing fulfillment order is closed and line items are recreated in a new fulfillment order.
