This example illustrates the fields and controls on the Rule Overrides page. You can find definitions for the fields and controls later on this page.

Field or Control	Description
Use Default Values	Select to use the default picking options from the Order Release Run Time Options group box on the Setup Fulfillment-Order Release page. Clear this check box to change the picking options for this run control.
Location Option	Review or change the directed picking algorithm: Container Option: Pick from single-item containers. Default Putaway Location: Pick from the default putaway locations assigned on the Default Putaway Locations page. Default Shipment Location: Pick from the Default Ship Location Option assigned on the Setup Item Fulfillment-Shipping Options page, or if no location is assigned at the business unit/item level, pick from the Default Ship Location Option assigned on the Setup Fulfillment-Shipping page (the business unit level). If available quantity is not found at the Default Ship Location then the All Available Locations option is used. Fixed Pick Location: Pick from the sequence of fixed picking locations assigned on the Fixed Picking Locations page. Pick by Date: Sort locations containing lot-controlled or staged date-controlled items chronologically and pick according to the specified Date Option. All Available Locations: Select picking locations based on the defined picking zones (in order of priority) and on the specified Tiebreaker.
Date Option	If you select Pick by Date in the Location Option field, select one of these options: Earliest Available Lot (FIFO): Pick from locations containing lots with the earliest creation dates. Earliest Expiration Date (FEFO): Pick from locations containing lots with the earliest expiration dates. Earliest Staged Date (FIFO): Pick from locations containing items with the earliest staged dates. Latest Staged Date (LIFO): Pick from locations containing items with the most recent staged dates.
Tiebreaker	If you select Container Option, Pick by Date, or All Available Locations in the Location Option field, specify a tiebreaker to be used when multiple storage locations qualify for picking: FL (fewest locations): Pick from the fewest locations possible, beginning with those containing the most available quantity. PC (pick to clear): Empty locations whenever possible, beginning with those containing the least available quantity.
Shortage Release Option	Select a shortage release option for situations where there is not enough available stock to fulfill the planned release quantity. Shortage release options are: Release Shortage: Release demand line to picking as a shortage. The system sets the demand line to the released state and assigns a pick batch ID. If you choose the Action of Create Allocations on the Order Release Request process page (push pick plan), the system allocates any quantity available to the demand line. This option is useful when stock is often received into the business unit after the pick plans have been run or when you want to float the shortage downstream to print on the shipping documents as a zero or partial shipment. Do Not Release Shortage: Do not release the demand line to picking if there is a shortage. The system does not allocate any partial quantities and the demand line is not set to the released state. Use Partial Quantity Logic: This option further defines a shortage using the demand line's Partial Quantity flag. If there is not enough available stock to fulfill the demand line and the Partial Quantity flag is set to no, then do not release the demand line. In addition, if there is zero available stock, then do not release the demand line. If the Partial Quantity flag is set to yes and there is a quantity greater than zero available, then release the demand line. Note: If the demand line is released with an available quantity less the planned release quantity, then the label (shortage) is printed next to the planned release quantity on the picking plan.
Print Substitutes	Select to have the picking plan list alternate items that can be used to fulfill the order. For order lines that allow substitutions and have insufficient quantity available to fulfill the order, any substitute items that can fulfill the order line are listed on the picking plan under the requested item in order of priority. Selecting this option also includes substitute items on bar-coded picking plans and picking extract files. Print options include Print All the Time, Print At Partial, and Print At Zero.
Use Fixed Pick Workflow	Select if you are using the Fixed Pick Location algorithm and you want the picking plan to initiate the Fixed Pick workflow automatically whenever there is insufficient quantity in the fixed picking locations to fulfill an order.
Role Name	Indicate who should be notified when the Fixed Pick workflow is activated. The role that you assign refers to a type of position—a supervisor or manager, for example—rather than an individual person.
Route Control Type	Specify the level of your organizational structure to which the workflow should be directed. You could, for example, indicate that the workflow affects supervisors at the business unit level.
From Value and To Value	Use to narrow the route control selection. For example, you could specify that the workflow affects only supervisors in a particular business unit.
