Hello,


In one of the customer scenarios, when they perform automatic reservations for customer orders, small quantities of a given part number in the inventory are skipped, and the customer order is reserved from the location that holds the full required quantity.

At the site-level automatic reservation, Priority 1 is set to the earliest receipt date, while Priority 2 is set to the earliest expiration date. When multiple lots with the same receipt date are available in the inventory, the system reserves quantities from the largest stock, leaving smaller quantities scattered across various locations. This occurs regardless of whether the parts are attached to the handling unit. This customer is not using put-away zones / ranking setup. 

Is there any way to optimize this behavior without put-away zones ?

 

Thank you,

Lumini. 

Hi Lumini. You mention Priority 1 is set to the earliest receipt date and that the lots have the same receipt date. Are any of the remaining reservation priorities on the site having an effect on which inventory is chosen? Handling unit quantity, etc?

Hi ​@Steve_IFS ,

Yes, it is possible to change the way the system reserves inventory based on the remaining priories. But the customer does not want to set the remaining priority levels. 

If I read between the lines, it looks like the customer wants to define a location hierarchy of where the application should reserve the material. 

Unfortunately, the only way to do this is through the putaway zone functionality.
