Try Split Order to Warehouse

Overview

The Try Split Order to Warehouse step creates a new shipment for items that are available at a specified warehouse, leaving items without inventory for subsequent allocation logic. This is useful for prioritizing a specific warehouse without blocking unavailable items.

What It Does

1. Retrieves the target warehouseCode from configuration
2. Checks which order lines have inventory at the target warehouse
3. Creates a new shipment for items with available inventory
4. Leaves remaining items on the original shipment for further processing

Prerequisites

• warehouseCode property must be configured
• Target warehouse must have at least some items in stock

Side Effects

• Creates new shipment for items routed to target warehouse
• Moves line items between shipments
• Does not affect items without inventory at target

Business Cases

When to Use

• Priority warehouse: Route available items to a preferred location first
• Partial fulfillment: Get some items shipped immediately from a specific location
• Regional routing: Split items available at a regional DC before fallback logic

Example Scenarios

Scenario 1: Fast Shipping Option Configure warehouseCode = "EXPRESS-DC" to split items available at the express DC for faster delivery, while other items go through normal routing.

Scenario 2: Local Inventory Priority Use before general reallocation to first extract items available at a preferred local warehouse.

Scenario 3: No Available Items If no items are available at the target warehouse, the step succeeds without changes and subsequent steps handle the order.
