Business value

This functionality will improve efficiency when running rules against distributed order management (DOM) fulfillment profiles. The functionality ensures that DOM rules run only against the shipping warehouse locations and not against the larger subset of locations.

By only using the filtered list of shipping warehouses that are included in the fulfillment group, as associated to the DOM fulfillment profile, we ensure that the DOM rules are run more effectively and efficiently.

Feature details

  • When orders are created for either some or all of the items to be shipped, DOM will run the optimized plan for processing the orders based on availability of products from a list of shipping locations.

  • When the order management services are processed to run the order, the DOM profiles will look at all the available shipping locations from the associated fulfillment groups and then run rules against the shipping locations in the groups.

  • If there are no shipping locations or fulfillment groups associated, there will be no change from the current process of running the rules in the DOM fulfillment profile.
