Configure reservation rules by location

This module adds rules for advanced reservation / removal strategies.

Rules are applied on a location and its sub-locations.

A rule can exclude quants or locations based on configurable criteria, and based on the selected quants, apply advanced removal strategies.

The rules have a sequence, which will be respected for the reservation. So even without filter or advanced removal strategies, we can give a priority to reserve in a location before another.

The advanced removal strategies are applied on top of the default one (fifo, fefo, …).

The included advanced removal strategies are:

• Default Removal Strategy: apply the default configured one (fifo, fefo, …)

• Empty Bins: goods are removed from a bin only if the bin will be empty after the removal (favor largest bins first to minimize the number of operations, then apply the default removal strategy for equal quantities).

• Full Packaging: tries to remove full packaging (configured on the products) first, by largest to smallest package or based on a pre-selected package (default removal strategy is then applied for equal quantities).

Examples of scenario:

rules:

• location A: no filter, no advanced removal strategy

• location B: no filter, Empty Bins

• location C: no filter, no advanced removal strategy

result:

• take what is available in location A

• then take in location B if available, only if bin(s) are emptied

• then take what is available in location C

The module is meant to be extensible, with a core mechanism on which new rules and advanced removal strategies can be added.

Configuration

The configuration of the rules is done in “Inventory > Configuration > Stock Reservation Rules”.

Creation of a rule:

Properties that define where the rule will be applied:

• Location: Define where the rule will look for goods (a parent of the move’s source location).

• Rule Domain: The rule is used only if the Stock Move matches the domain.

Removal rules for the locations:

• Quants Domain: this domain includes/excludes quants based on a domain.

• Advanced Removal Strategy: the strategy that will be used for this location and sub-location when the rule is used.

The sequences have to be sorted in the view list to define the reservation priorities.

Usage

If you are using a database with demo data, you can give a try to the following scenario to understand how it works.

The demo data created by the module contains:

A product: Funky Socks

3 Locations:

• Stock / Zone A / Bin A1: 200 Funky socks

• Stock / Zone B / Bin B1: 100 Funky socks

• Stock / Zone C / Bin C1: 100 Funky socks

3 Reservation Rules, in the following order

• Zone A must have full quantities

• Zone B

• Zone C

2 Delivery Orders:

• Origin: Outgoing shipment (reservation rules demo 1)

• Origin: Outgoing shipment (reservation rules demo 2)

Scenario:

• Activate Storage Locations and Multi-Warehouses

• You can open Inventory > Configuration > Stock Reservation Rules to activate and see the rules (by default in demo, the rules are created inactive)

• Open Transfer: Outgoing shipment (reservation rules demo 1)

• Check availability: it has 150 units, as it will not empty Zone A, it will not take products there, it should take 100 in B and 50 in C (following the rules order)

• Unreserve this transfer (to test the second case)

• Open Transfer: Outgoing shipment (reservation rules demo 2)

• Check availability: it has 250 units, it can empty Zone A, it will take 200 in Bin A1 and 50 in Bin B1.

• If you want to explore further, you can add a custom domain to exclude rules (for instance, a product category will not use Zone B).
