Disregard Soldout Controls for Non-Allocatable Warehouses (J27)

Purpose: Use this screen to define whether the system disregards soldout control rules for inventory reserved against a non-allocatable warehouse.

Yes/No field: Select this field if you want the system to disregard soldout control rules for inventory reserved against a non-allocatable warehouse.

You can reserve inventory against a non-allocatable warehouse if the Reserve from Non-Allocatable Warehouse (J25) system control value is selected.

The system evaluates the Disregard Soldout Controls for Non-Allocatable Warehouses (J27) system control value during order entry/maintenance and auto-soldout processing.

Adding items to an order: When you add an item to an order associated with a non-allocatable warehouse, the system:

• Reserves the item against the non-allocatable warehouse, regardless of the soldout control code defined for an item.

• If the item cannot be reserved, backorders the item in the non-allocatable warehouse, or brokers the item to the Order Broker if eligible. See Brokered Backorders for an overview.

Note: You can manually sell out an item associated with a non-allocatable warehouse by selecting Sell Out for the order line during order entry or maintenance.

Changing the warehouse for an order line: If you or the system changes the warehouse for an order line and the Disregard Soldout Controls for Non-Allocatable Warehouses (J27) system control value is selected, the system reevaluates soldout control rules for the item on the order line:

• If the warehouse assigned to the order line is a non-allocatable warehouse, the system reserves the item against the non-allocatable warehouse, regardless of the soldout control code defined for the item. If the item cannot be reserved, the system backorders the item in the non-allocatable warehouse, or submits the line to the Order Broker for fulfillment if eligible (see Brokered Backorders for background).

• If the warehouse assigned to the order line is an allocatable warehouse, or the Warehouse field for the order line is blank, the system follows regular soldout control rules to determine whether to sell out the item. See Working with Soldout Controls (WSLD) for more information on how the system determines when to sell out an item.

Web orders: When you receive an order associated with a non-allocatable warehouse through the Generic Order Interface (Order API), the system reserves the item against the non-allocatable warehouse, regardless of the soldout control code defined for an item. If the item cannot be reserved, the system backorders the item in the non-allocatable warehouse.

Soldout control processing: When you perform auto-soldout control processing and the Disregard Soldout Controls for Non-Allocatable Warehouses (J27) system control value is selected, the system bypasses any order that is associated with a non-allocatable warehouse. The system considers an order associated with a non-allocatable warehouse if:

• A non-allocatable warehouse is defined for one or more lines on the order, or

• A non-allocatable warehouse is defined as the backorder warehouse for one or more lines on the order, or

• A non-allocatable warehouse is defined on the order header.

See Processing Auto Soldout Cancellations (MASO).

Leave this field unselected if you want the system to apply soldout control rules to inventory reserved against a non-allocatable warehouse.

Note: The system applies soldout control rules to inventory reserved against an allocatable warehouse, regardless of the setting of this system control value.
