While creating a Sales Order, the system will Allocate (Wave) Orders in the multiple of Sell Package Quantity available on the Locations.
Two new settings are created in Xoro for this functionality to work:
- App Config Setting: “Enable sell package allocation” under the Warehouse tab of the App Config module.
- Advanced Configuration setting “Disable Sell Package Allocation” of the Customer module.
How does it work?
- If the App Config is Off, there will be no change in the Allocation process.
- If both the App Config and the Customer settings are “ON”, there will be no change in the Allocation process.
- If the App Config is ON and the Customer setting is OFF and also a Sell Package Qty for the Item is set, the system will Allocate (Wave) Orders in the multiple of Sell Package Quantity available on the Locations.
The sequence of the Allocation will depend upon the “Wave Template” selected.
Let’s understand the mechanism in detail:
- The Item has the “Sell Package Qty” set as 4.
The App config is ON and the Customer setting is OFF
Case1:
Wave Template defined for the Store- Stop1:
- Item sell package Qty=4
- Qty to Allocated=20
- The system will automatically Pick the Inventory first from the Active location of the Store.
- After the Active location is exhausted the Inventory will be Picked from the Reserved locations.
See the Table below to have a better understanding of this:
| Location Display | Class | Pick Seq | Qty | Sell Package Allocation | Allocation Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Active | 1 | 1 | 1 | 3 |
| B | Active | 2 | 3 | 3 | 4 |
| C | Active | 3 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| D | Active | - | 3 | 0 | - |
| E | Active | - | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| A-R | Reserve | 1 | 3 | 0 | - |
| B-R | Reserve | 2 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| C-R | Reserve | 3 | 3 | 0 | - |
| D-R | Reserve | - | 4 | 4 | 6 |
| E-R | Reserve | - | 3 | 0 | - |
Case2:
Wave Template selected:
- Item sell package Qty=4
- Qty to Allocated=20
| Location Display | Class | Pick Seq | Qty | Sell Package Allocation | Allocation Sequence |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| A | Active | 1 | 1 | 0 | - |
| B | Active | 2 | 3 | 0 | - |
| C | Active | 3 | 4 | 4 | 5 |
| D | Active | - | 3 | 0 | - |
| E | Active | - | 4 | 4 | - |
| A-R | Reserve | 1 | 3 | 3 | 3 |
| B-R | Reserve | 2 | 4 | 4 | 1 |
| C-R | Reserve | 3 | 3 | 1 | 4 |
| D-R | Reserve | - | 4 | 4 | 2 |
| E-R | Reserve | - | 3 | 0 | - |
- Segregation of location-wise Qty Allocated can be seen in the “Pick Wave Document”.
