Try Reallocate Entire Order to Specific Warehouse

Overview

The Try Reallocate Entire Order to Specific Warehouse step attempts to reallocate an entire order to a named warehouse, but only if that warehouse has all required items in stock. Unlike the generic reallocation, this targets a specific warehouse.

Behavior

What It Does

1. Validates this is running at order level (not shipment level)
2. Retrieves the target warehouseCode from configuration
3. Checks if the specified warehouse has all items in stock
4. If available, reallocates all shipments to that warehouse

Prerequisites

• Must run at order level (shipment parameter must be null)
• warehouseCode property must be configured
• Target warehouse must have all order items in stock

Side Effects

• Changes warehouse assignment on all shipments if successful
• Keeps the order whole (no splitting)
• Does nothing if inventory is insufficient

Business Cases

When to Use

• Preferred warehouse: Try to fulfill from a specific location before falling back to others
• Promotion routing: Route orders to a warehouse running a special promotion
• Capacity balancing: Redirect orders to underutilized warehouses

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: New Warehouse Ramp-Up Configure warehouseCode = "NEW-DC" to attempt routing orders to a new distribution center that needs order volume.

Scenario 2: Priority Fulfillment Configure warehouseCode = "FAST-SHIP" to try routing to a warehouse with faster shipping before using others.

Scenario 3: Inventory Check Use this before splitting steps - if the preferred warehouse has everything, use it; otherwise proceed to splitting logic.
