Introduction
The Network view settings allow users to configure platform behavior at the network level.
Description
Connecting fulfillmenttools apps
After downloading a fulfillmenttools application, users can connect their tenant with their device by scanning the QR code displayed on this page. The "fulfillmenttools apps" section shows an overview of the app portfolio, covering, among others:
Carrier credentials
This provides an overview of all connected carriers for the tenant. Furthermore, users can define carrier credentials tenant-wide. Location-based carrier credentials can be configured in the “Facilities” section under “Carrier”.
Substitution items
Substitute items are items that can be picked if the originally ordered items are not available. This setting defines whether picking substitution items for orders is allowed.
A list of potential substitute items can be defined for each product at the network level via the REST API. If an item could not be picked successfully, and the configuration is active, users have the option to choose one or more substitute items.
Substitute items do not necessarily require an existing listing. As a result, unlisted products can also be picked as substitute items, for example, if the substitute item should not be available in general, but only as a substitute.
Picking substitute items is only available within the Operations Android App for single order picking.
Manual stock adjustment
Define whether manual stock adjustments via the Backoffice should be allowed. This setting affects the ability to modify stock in the listing view and the storage location view.
Fulfillment times and closing days for multiple facilities
Define fulfillment times, fulfillment capacity, and closing days for multiple facilities at once.
If a bulk update on fulfillment times and closing days is saved, any previously submitted times are overwritten for the selected facilities.
Timeframe for future capacity planning
Define the number of days in which future fulfillment capacity in facilities should be considered. Fulfillment capacity reflects the number of orders that can be fulfilled in a facility in a specific timeframe. If the capacity fence is activated, facilities that have no more capacity left for the specified number of days are ignored during routing.
