Setup Restrictions for Wave Allocation - Wave Search
A wave template is run for inventory allocation and creation of picking tasks. The wave template will specify the rules of allocation and picking tasks.
The wave template is linked to a wave search. The wave search tied to the wave template can be used to restrict allocation for specific orders based on criteria specified. The specific wave will only allocate inventory to orders meeting the criteria. This can be used to restrict allocation for specific order types, for specific shipping service levels, for specific order values, etc... Multiple wave searches can be created to be tied to different wave templates. Multiple wave templates with different rules can be created and restricted to specific set of orders with the wave search.
This can be used to:
- Prioritize how orders are to be waved and allocated
- Restrict allocation and tasking rules for specific set of orders. For example, Wave Template for each type of order, Wave Template for each service level to prioritize allocation and so on.
| Task Description | WMS Module | Overview/Comments | Task Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| Set Up Wave Template Search(es) | Wave Templates Link 'Wave Searches' | Multiple Wave Searches can be created based on the different wave templates needed. If there is no need to restrict allocation to specific orders, one general wave search will be created. In wave search fields criteria for outbound orders can be entered. The wave tied to the specific wave search will only allocate inventory to orders with the specified values. |
