Assign Orchestration Processes

Create an assignment rule that assigns your orchestration process to a fulfillment line.

Assume you must process sales orders differently depending on quantity. Assume you already created these processes.

Orchestration Process Name	Description
Process_Small_Orders	For quantity under 100. Expedite shipping and don't measure the impact on inventory.
Process_Medium_Orders	For quantity 100 to 999. Use regular shipping and measure the impact on inventory only at the distributor, not the warehouse.
Process_Large_Orders	For quantity over 1,000. Use bulk freight. Measure the impact on inventory at the warehouse and the distributor, and call the customer to confirm the order before you ship it.

Here's the assignment rule that you will create.

Create the Small Order Condition

1. Create the If statement.

   • Click New Condition.

   • In the Create Condition dialog, enter ordered, wait a moment, then click Ordered Quantity (Order Fulfill Line).

     Order Fulfill Line indicates that the attribute resides on the order fulfillment line.

   • Set the operator to less than ( < ).

   • Enter 100, then click OK.

2. Create the Do statement.

   • Click Then > Do > New Action.

   • In Create Action dialog, enter process, wait a moment, then click Process Name (Order Fulfill Line).

     The phrase Order Fulfill Line indicates that the orchestration process that you set will process order fulfillment lines.

3. Search for your orchestration process.

   • Click Search > Advanced.

   • Set Process Name to Contains.

   • Enter Process_Small_Orders.

     The search is case sensitive.

   • Click Search.

     Note:

     If you didn't deploy your orchestration process, then the search won't find it.

   • Click the row in the search results.

   • Click OK.

   • In the Create Action dialog, click OK.

Create the Medium Order Condition

Do the same steps that you used when you created the small order condition, but with these differences.
