Hi,
We are looking for a solution to allocate our orders based off of the following allocation rules (listed in order of priority).
1) Order Type:
(Priority at the Beg of Fiscal Month - Warranties, Trials, Sales, Promos)
(Priority at the End of Fiscal Month – Warranties, Sales, Trials, Promos)
2) Order received date (Earlier Orders get processed first)
3) Qty on Order (Orders with smaller quantities are processed first)
Currently, our system is set up in the following way:
1) Order comes into GP from an external dashboard and automatically populates an order in the Sales Transaction Entry. Allocation occurs by line item but the quantities are not fulfilled.
2) The order goes through a series of checks and then gets placed in a batch to be transmitted via an integration piece to our Warehouse's web portal if all the checks pass.
3) The order is then fulfilled by our warehouse, where they send the serial numbers shipped back to GP via our integration piece.
4) The order is fulfilled in GP and moved to a FULFILLED batch. The order gets moved to an invoice and is then posted.
Is there an allocation module in GP that will help us implement the allocation based off the rules we are looking for before the orders are sent to our Warehouse (possibly allocated right before being transmitted to the Warehouse)?
If not, what options would we have to create this functionality?
I'm thinking we can allocate by document/batch and back order any shortages, but I'm unsure of how we could enforce the integration rules and how we would deal with new orders coming in throughout the day.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
