Diagnosing The Problem

Delivery Sourcing Rule is not setup and Capacity is not assigned for the Resource Pool

Resolving The Problem

In order for the availability information w.r.t ‘Delivery’ delivery method to be available, following conditions need to be ensured –

1) The PROD_ITEM must have available inventory and there should be a default shipping sourcing rule defined under Application Configurator > DOM > Cross Application > Order Promising > Sourcing and Scheduling > Basic Configuration. This sourcing rule should further be defined under Product Being Shipped > Sourcing Rules section with appropriate nodes.

2) The PROD_ITEM should be configured to be monitored by ‘Real Time Availability Monitor Agent’ (RTAM) under Applications Configurator > Application Platform > Process Modelling > General (process type) > Transactions.

3) RTAM agent should be run at least once and corresponding availability record should be present in YFS_INVENTORY_ALERTS table.

4) Configure Resource Pool and add Capacity for the delivery service associated with the above PROD_ITEM on the given node.

5) Configure Delivery sourcing rule under Application Configurator > DOM > Cross Application > Order Promising > Sourcing and Scheduling > Product Being Delivered > Sourcing Rules, to read for the delivery item's availability on the concerned node.
