Inventory Allocation Planning

[deepak nigam-2]

Hi All,

In the current implementation of inventory reservation flow, inventory gets
reserved for the order based on the reservation algorithm (FIFO, LIFO etc).
Many times, the fulfilment cycle of the order is too long or due to some
unexpected circumstances, the order holds the inventory for a long time. In
such scenarios, inventory availability becomes one of the major bottlenecks
in fulfilling the other sales order and businesses often remains short
supplied against the demand.

Is there a way to allocate the available and any future supply judiciously
amongst existing customers orders by considering different factors like
estimated delivery dates, order priority, customer preference etc?


Thanks & Regards

Where is this screen located? Or are you referring to the order
priority field in ordermgr?

Thanks, James.

Will this method honour the upcoming supply also? I am more interested in a
supply allocation plan by using which I can allocate the available and
upcoming supply amongst the open orders.

Hi James,

Did you get a chance to confirm it in OFBiz?

@All,
As far as I came to know, the feature to allocate the inventory (not actual
reservation at this point) is not available OOTB. We can think about the
idea of its implementation.


Thanks & Regards

Thanks, James.

Here is the JIRA ticket <https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-10518>
for the same. Soon I will share detailed design notes here and in the
ticker also.


Thanks & Regards

While creating orders from the backend, we have the option to set
parameters like 'Ship After Date' and 'Ship Before Date' to manage the
fulfilment cycle more efficiently. Inventory gets reserved for the product
based on a FIFO basis. Sometimes the fulfilment time for the order is high
and inventory unnecessarily gets locked for some time period.

We can introduce a new parameter (at order item level) 'Reserve After Date'
which will indicate the date only after which reservation can happen. In
this way, we can manage the stock availability more efficiently.

Hi Deepak,

Interesting proposition, this should be discussed in dev ML

Thanks

Hi Deepak,

Sorry to resurrect this question, has this not been fixed since?

Thanks
