Fences

The following predefined fences are available:

  • Stock availability [ “Complete Stock” ] / complete fulfillment of individual order: Checks if all articles of an order are available within the facility. This check calculates the stock and reserved stock in.

  • Service type: Checks if the service type of the order (Ship-from-Store Standard / Ship-from-Store Same Day / Click & Collect) can be fulfilled by the facility, see DOMS Configuration for more elaboration

  • Preselected Facilities: Reduces the facility candidates which should be considered from all facilities within the network to only specified ones. This list may contain 1..n facilities and is only applicable for Ship-from-Store Orders, see DOMS Configuration for more elaboration

  • Carrier availability: Checks if the carrier the customer has chosen for is enabled in a certain facility and thus can fulfill the order, see Seetings for more elaboration

  • Custom attributes (e.g. special services, carrier capacity, facility capacity, shipment destinations, delivery date…)

  • Same Day possible (checks if there is a facility which has the service type ship-from-store and at least one active Same Day carrier AND whether there is enough time for the facility to perform a Same Day delivery? (Today´s date + buffer time < cut off time of that Same Day carrier), see Same Day for more details.

  • Country checks if the address of the facility is within the same country as the address of the consumer. Only those facilities are taken into consideration.

  • Facility Capacity checks if there are any free capacity slots available for a facility within a predefined timeframe in the future (see Facilities for details and examples).

  • Ensure minimum picking checks that at least 1 ordered item is in stock. If this is not the case the facility is not considered in order routing

    • Items which are bundled so that they are not split within routing (see: custom services) are considered as one in this fence. Meaning that if one item is missing in such a bundle all items within this bundle are seen as missing.
