Edit Probable Quantity Rule
Purpose: Use the Edit Probable Quantity Rule window to review or edit a probable quantity rule.
Used for the Routing Engine module.
What is a probable quantity rule? A probable quantity rule is a rule that applies only to calculation of the probable quantity, an estimate of available quantity that a system, such as your ecommerce site, can retrieve in order to more accurately present an item’s availability.
Calculated when? The probable quantity update program calculates the probable quantity. See the Inventory Quantity Export at the Schedule Jobs screen for information on scheduling or running the probable quantity update program, and see Evaluating Probable Quantity Rules for a process overview and background.
Assigning and applying rules: You use the Probable Quantity Location screen to assign a rule to a location type or to a location. If you specify a system product or master style as criteria for the rule, the rule applies only to matching product locations.
Each rule applies only to the location type or location where it is assigned.
Rule hierarchy: See Evaluating Probable Quantity Rules for a discussion of how the probable quantity update program selects a probability rule if a product location qualifies for multiple rules.
Routing Engine probability rules: See the Probability Rule Wizard for more information on probability rules that apply to locate items searches and order assignment rather than the probable quantity calculation.
How to display this screen: Click the edit icon () for an existing rule at the Probable Quantity Rules screen.
