Process

Use this processing option to specify how the system selects outbound inventory agreements to attach them to sales orders.

1. Resolve Agreement if Multiple Agreements Exist

Use this processing option to attach an outbound inventory agreement if multiple valid outbound inventory agreements exist for the given order detail line. Values are:

Blank: Do not resolve agreement if multiple valid agreements are found

1: Select the agreement with the lowest available inventory/target inventory ratio.

When multiple valid outbound inventory agreements exist for the given search criteria you complete in the order detail line, the system selects the agreement where the ratio of available quantity and target inventory is the lowest. Available quantity at customer's location is calculated as the sum of the quantity available for consumption at the customer's location, the quantity in transit, and the quantity committed through open orders. Therefore, the ratio is calculated using the following formula:

Ratio = [(Committed Quantity + In-transit Quantity + On Hand Quantity available for Consumption)/Target Inventory] * 100

Outbound Inventory Agreement Type

Use this processing option to specify the type of agreement used by the Resolve Outbound Inventory Agreements batch program (R42I40) to resolve outbound inventory agreements. Values are:

Blank: Do not filter on agreement type. The system resolves both consigned inventory and vendor managed inventory agreements and attaches them to the respective sales orders.

C: Consigned Inventory Agreement. The system resolves only consigned inventory agreements and attaches them to sales orders.

V: Vendor Managed Inventory Agreement. The system resolves only vendor managed inventory agreements and attaches them to sales orders.
