Use Check Availability to Simulate Fulfilling Your Sales Order

Use Check Availability to consider various sources to fulfill the fulfillment line, including other suppliers or on-hand supply from different warehouses.

Drop Ship

• Examine attributes that have fulfillment details for your drop ship.
• Get details about the supplier's current capacity to fulfill demand for the order.
• If Order Management already scheduled and reserved supply for the purchase order, then Promising respects the reservation. It helps to make sure some other sales order can't use the reserved supply.

Back-to-Back

Use Check Availability to consider various sources to fulfill the fulfillment line, including other warehouses.

You can see how Promising pegs supply. Go to the Check Availability page, then click Actions > View Availability Details. For example, if Promising pegs supply to a transfer, then Promising sends a recommendation for a transfer order to Supply Chain Orchestration when Promising schedules the order. Orchestration creates the transfer order and creates a reservation.

If you change the requested date or quantity for an order after Orchestration creates the reservation, then Promising uses the reserved supply that it already has. Assume you increase the order quantity from 2 to 5. Promising keeps the supply that it reserved for 2, and recommends to create supply for a quantity of 3.
