Broker Only If All Items Are Available

[dixitdeepak]

The system should broker order items only if all ship group items can be brokered, either from a single location or across multiple locations. If any item in the ship group cannot be brokered at the same time (either in one or multiple locations), the entire ship group should not be brokered.

Design notes: To implement the feature where an order is brokered only if all items are available, here are the design notes:

• Inventory Condition Configuration:
  • Add a new inventory condition enumeration to store the setting at the inventory condition level.
  • This enumeration will hold a flag, broker_all_order_items, which specifies whether brokering all items is required (Y) or not (N).
• Inventory Rule Action Check:
  • While evaluating the inventory rule action, check if the condition for "broker all items" is enabled.
  • Read this condition from the inventory rule condition entity. If the rule specifies that all items must be available, validate this during the brokering process.
• Quantity Validation:
  • If broker_all_order_items is set to Y, compare the ship group item quantity with the brokered item quantity.
  • If the quantities are equal, meaning all items in the ship group are brokered (either at a single location or across multiple locations), proceed with brokering.
  • If the quantities do not match, trigger the no inventory action.
• Multiple or Single Location:
  • Items can be brokered from either a single location or from multiple locations (especially in the case of warehouses). -However, the condition for brokering all items must still hold true.

This approach ensures that only complete ship groups are brokered and that partial fulfillment is avoided unless all items can be allocated.

• Added support to configure a routing rule for brokering order ship group items only if all items are available (either at a single location or across multiple locations).
• Introduced a new Enumeration for inventory condition. <moqui.basic.Enumeration enumId="IFP_ALL_ITEM_AVAIL_COND" description="Broker only if all ship group items are available (either at a single location or across multiple locations)" sequenceNum="9" enumTypeId="INV_FILTER_PRM_TYPE" enumCode="brokerIfAllItemsAvailable"/>
• Updated the eval#OrderRoutingActions service to include this new condition.
• The default value for the condition is set to false. The brokering engine will honor this condition only if explicitly configured in the rules.
• If the "broker only if all items are available" condition is true, the brokering engine checks for any unfillable items. If found, no facility location will be allocated to the order items, and the routing action will proceed according to the configuration.
• Accepted values are
  • true/false/TRUE/FALSE/Y/N/y/n
• Shipment threshold is now retrieved within eval#OrderRoutingActions, removing the need to pass it as a parameter.
