Allocation Workflow Steps
Workflow steps for warehouse allocation, order splitting, and reallocation in Omnium OMS.
Allocation workflow steps handle the assignment of orders and order lines to warehouses, splitting orders across multiple fulfillment locations, and reallocating orders when inventory or circumstances change.
Overview
These steps are critical for distributed order management (DOM), enabling:
- Initial allocation - Assigning orders to warehouses based on inventory and proximity
- Order splitting - Dividing orders across multiple warehouses when no single location has all items
- Reallocation - Moving orders to different warehouses when cancellations occur or inventory becomes available
- Package handling - Breaking down bundled products into components
