SCENARIO 1
Consolidated releases are created based on the ship node parameter of the order line.
Configuration
Creating the order
Scheduled
- Order Line 1 allocated to Ware house 02
- Order Line 2 & 3 allocated to Ship node 02
Released
Releases for order lines #2 and #3 are consolidated because they have the same ship node. In contrast, order line #1 has a different ship node, so its release is created separately.
SCENARIO 2
Based on extended attribute of the order line, release can be consolidated.
Configuration : Include order line level extended parameter – PreOrderLine
Creating the order
- Order Line 1 has PreOrderLine as N
- Order Line 2 & 3 has PreOrderLine as Y
Order line table information
Scheduled
Released
Releases for order lines #2 and #3 are consolidated because they have PreOrderLine as Y. In contrast, order line #1 has PreOrderLine as N, so its release is created separately.
