Try Split Unreserved Order Lines
Split order lines without inventory reservation using configurable filters and allocation schemes.
Overview
The Try Split Unreserved Order Lines step is a highly configurable splitting mechanism that moves unreserved order lines to new shipments based on various criteria. It offers the most flexibility for complex distribution scenarios.
Identifier
| Property | Value |
|---|---|
| Key | TrySplitUnreservedOrderLines |
| Group | Reallocate |
| Applicable Statuses | New |
Configuration Properties
| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
WarehouseCode | string | No | Target warehouse for split shipment |
StoreRoles | string | No | Filter warehouses by role |
OrderLineProperties | json | No | Filter lines by custom properties |
HasFutureRequestedDeliveryDate | boolean | No | Only split lines with future delivery dates |
SplitToStatus | string | No | Status to assign to new shipments |
ShippingMethodName | string | No | Shipping method for new shipments |
AllocationScheme | string | No | Algorithm for warehouse selection |
IgnoreInventory | boolean | No | Split without checking inventory |
AllowLineSplitting | boolean | No | Allow splitting quantities within a line |
Behavior
What It Does
- Identifies order lines without full inventory reservation
- Applies configured filters (properties, delivery date, etc.)
- Determines target warehouse using allocation scheme
- Creates new shipment(s) for matching lines
- Moves lines to new shipments with optional status/method changes
- Optionally updates order status if all shipments have the new status
Prerequisites
- Order must have unreserved line items (or
IgnoreInventory = true) - Warehouse configuration must support the allocation scheme
Side Effects
- Creates new shipments
- Moves line items between shipments
- May update order and shipment statuses
- May split line quantities if enabled
Business Cases
When to Use
- Complex routing rules: When simple warehouse-based splitting isn't enough
- Future orders: Separate lines with future delivery dates
- Multi-carrier orders: Split to different shipping methods
- Property-based routing: Route based on line item properties
Example Scenarios
Scenario 1: Future Delivery Separation
Configure HasFutureRequestedDeliveryDate = true to split pre-orders to a separate shipment.
Scenario 2: Status-Based Workflow
Configure SplitToStatus = "AwaitingStock" to route unreserved items to a waiting status while in-stock items proceed.
Scenario 3: Property Filtering
Configure OrderLineProperties = {"isFragile": true} to split fragile items for special handling.
Scenario 4: Quantity Splitting
Configure AllowLineSplitting = true to split a line with quantity 5 into two lines (e.g., 3 available + 2 on backorder).
Error Handling
| Condition | Result | Continues Workflow? |
|---|---|---|
| Lines split successfully | Success | Yes |
| No lines to split | Success | Yes |
| Exception | Error | Depends on StopOnError |
