The allocation of issues – and replenishments in some cases – is based on a number of allocation rules:
Name | Description |
Pick Location | Fragments on pick locations will be used first |
Bulk Location | Fragments on bulk locations will be used first |
FIFO (First In First Out) | Oldest fragments will be used first |
FEFO (First Expired First Out) | Fragments with the shortest expiration date will be used first |
LIFO (Last In First Out) | Newest fragments will be used first |
LEFO (Last Expired First Out) | Fragments with the longest expiration date will be used first |
Full Fragments (No Reservations) | Fragments that are full according to the item aspects and have no reservations will be used first |
Original Quantity (No Reservervations) | Fragments that have not been touched (still have their original quantity) and have no reservations will be used first |
Exact Match (No Reservations) | Fragments that match the desired quantity exactly and have no reservations will be used first |
Exact Match | Fragments that match the desired quantity exactly will be used first |
Low Quantities | Fragments with the lowest quantities will be used first |
These rules can be ranked according to preference. This ranking will determine the allocation process.
If desired, different allocation rules can be set for different processes.
