Shipping Tolerance Percentage in the Order Detail UI and Interface

Warehouses deal with a variety of items (such as produce or wires for example) where shipping an exact quantity or weight might not always be practical. You can view and edit Shipping Tolerance Fields in the Order Header / Order Detail screen. You can also view Shipping Tolerance Fields in the Manual Wave and Order Detail screens.

You can create/modify Shipping Tolerance Fields via:

  • theOrderInput Interface (through ORR, OHD, or ORD)
  • Order API
Note: The system will not allow tolerance% equal to 100% or more than 100% for the Minimum Shipping Tolerance% field.

Wave Allocation

In the Order Type UI, if “Partial allocation” is enabled, the system will partially allocate the order. If the quantity allocated is within the tolerance threshold in the quantity to be allocated in the Order Detail, the order detail will be in a status of Allocated.

Note: During a wave, when the "Cancel Partially Unallocated" flag is enabled the system will not cancel the unallocated quantity from the order detail if the allocated quantity on the order detail is greater than or equalto minimum shipping tolerance% threshold value.

Ifallocated quantity is less than the minimum tolerance %, the order detail status will be partially allocated.

Order Order Quantity Min % Max % Allocated Quantity Order Detail Status
Order1 - Dtl1 100 10 10 92 Allocated
Order2 -Dtl1 100 10 10 80 Partly Allocated
Note: Even though the max tolerance% is defined, the system will never over allocate during allocation from thewave.
