How You Review Sets and Resolve Item Constraints
Order lines may be grouped into shipment sets or arrival sets, but if one item in a set is more constrained than others, it can delay the fulfillment of the set. This is because the planned date on the most delayed order line comes the planned date for the entire set.
Review A Set
To review the set that an order belongs to, select the order and click the Manage Set action. Here's how you understand the constraints:
-
Compare the Planned Date and Item Availability Date values to know if an item will be available in time. The planned date for a set depends on the latest item availability date.
-
Click the View Constraints button for a graphical depiction of constraining items.
-
Review the Constraint Rank values to know which items are more constraining.
-
Review the Planned Date Without Item values to know what the set's planned date is if certain constraining items are removed from the set.
-
Review the Improvement Potential Without Item in Days values to know how much the planned date improves if certain constraining items are removed from the set.
Resolve Item Constraints
To improve the fulfillment prospects of a set, you can remove constraining items in the set using the Remove from Set action. The items then become standalone lines within your saved search, but you can also view them on the Manage Set page by clicking the View All Lines action. You can undo removals using the Add Back to Set action.
