Select and Schedule
Examine the Option Summary attribute to get an idea of what Promising did to determine availability for the option, such as substituted the item for another item, then select and schedule your option.
Use the summary to help you select an option so it meets your promising objective. For example, if your objective is to get the item there on time even if it costs more, and if the summary for option 1 is Different Ship Location, and if the summary for option 2 is Slower Ship Method, then select option 1.
Here are some of the values you might see in the Option Summary attribute:
- Default Option
- Slower Ship Method
- Different Items
- No Substitutes
- Different Ship Location
- Different Split
- No Split
- Item Split
- Date Split
- Source Split
Select and Schedule
If you like what you see, select the option in the Availability Options area, then click Actions > Select and Schedule.
Here's what Promising does next:
- Uses the option to promise the fulfillment line according to the option's attributes.
- Commits the supply that the availability option specifies to the fulfillment line.
- Removes the fulfillment line from the Check Availability page.
- Sends the line to Order Management, and the Order Management work area displays the fulfillment line with the new schedule.
Note that you might get different results each time you check availability because other promising activity is constantly affecting supply. You might get different results even if you don't change values on the fulfillment line.
