Creating Account-Specific Delivery Flow Models

Occasionally, a customer may request a delivery pattern that cannot be accommodated by any of the corporate delivery flow models the administrator has created. In these situations, account managers or administrators can create account-specific delivery flow models.

For more complete information on delivery flow models see Corporate Delivery Flow Models.

To create account-specific delivery flow models

1. Navigate to the Accounts screen > Accounts List view.
2. From the visibility filter, select All Accounts.
3. Select the account record for which you are creating the delivery flow model.
4. Drill down on the Name field hyperlink and click the Assortment Profile view tab.
5. In the Assortment Profile link bar, click the Delivery Flow link.

   The Account Delivery Flow view appears.

6. In the Delivery Flow Model list, create a new record and complete the necessary fields.
7. In the Algorithm list, edit the values in the Weighting field for each delivery date to represent the delivery pattern you want to specify for this delivery flow model.

   NOTE:  The total of all the values in the Weighting column is automatically calculated. The total must be 100 to create a useful corporate delivery flow model.

8. Select the algorithms you wish to commit to the database, and save them in either of the following ways:
   • Click the menu button and choose Save Record.
   • On the Algorithm list, click Save All to save all of the algorithms on the list.
