Honoring Tolerance Percentage During Substitution
During RF Pack{oblpn}, the system allows you to substitute inventory within the min/max threshold percentage, as long as the substituted LPN is allocated for an order that the original LPN can fulfill.
The following are some examples of tolerance percentage during substitution:
Example 1:
The Location has 2 LPNs:
| LPN | LPN Quantity | LPN Status | Order Allocated |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPN1 | 100 | Allocated | order 1 |
| LPN2 | 90 | Allocated | - |
You substitute LPN1 with LPN2. Because LPN2 meets the tolerance limit and it is not allocated to an order, you can substitute.
| Order | Order Quantity | Min % | Max % |
|---|---|---|---|
| order 1 | 100 | 10 | 10 |
Example 2:
The Location has 2 LPNs:
| LPN | LPN Quantity | LPN Status | Order Allocated |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPN1 | 100 | Allocated | order 1 |
| LPN2 | 90 | Allocated | order 2 |
| Order | Order Quantity | Min % | Max % |
|---|---|---|---|
| order 1 | 100 | 10 | 10 |
| order 2 | 100 | 10 | 10 |
The Location has 2 LPNs: you substitute LPN1 with LPN2. Because LPN2 meets the tolerance limit for order 1 and LPN1 meets the tolerance limit for order 2, the allocation can be exchanged and you are allowed to substitute.
Example3:
| LPN | LPN Quantity | LPN Status | Order Allocated |
|---|---|---|---|
| LPN1 | 100 | Allocated | order 1 |
| LPN2 | 90 | Allocated | order 2 |
| Order | Order Quantity | Min % | Max % |
|---|---|---|---|
| order 1 | 100 | 10 | 10 |
| order 2 | 90 | 10 | 10 |
You try to substitute LPN1 with LPN2. Even thought LPN 2 is within the percentage tolerance for Order 1, LPN 1 is NOT with in the percentage tolerance for order 2. Therefore, Substitution is not allowed.
