Multi-Stop Transfer Rules

Question & Answer


Question

What is the product behaviour of the Multi Stop transfer rule?

Answer

Consider a scenario, where a relationship: TRANSFER exists between nodes N1 to N2 and N2 to N3.


Multi stop transfer rule has been defined such that:
- Maximum number of in-between stops to be considered is 5
- Nodes must have the relationship as TRANSFER
- Transfer schedules need to be defined among the in-between nodes, i.e. N1 to N2 and N2 to N3.


A Sales order is created with N3 as the Ship node. However, inventory is available only in N1.
In such case, a chained Procurement Transfer Order will be created from the Procurement node to the Ship node. Here, the Procurement transfer order is created from N1 to N3.


Node transfer schedules defined among the in-between nodes will be considered for transit time calculation but final out put will only show 1 chain order.


The output of findInventory API shows the Multi stop, i.e. path for the multi stop.
For example, BestPath=[N3, N2, N1]
