Logistic Steering
Logistic Steering makes it possible to adjust the quantity on a shipment document line based on certain percentage of the order quantity. The difference will be registerd as a Quantity Registration. An example for when to use this functionality is when there is a shortage in stock and you want to divide this stock fairly over your customers. This can be setup for any customer item adress combination and a specific period.
To use Logistic Steering a line with the correct configuration in the 'Customer Item Address Setup' is needed (or multiple lines), there has to be a status function and an extra line in 'WMS Doc. Quantity Reg. Type'.
Customer Item Address Setup
In the customer item address setup the following fields apply:
| Field | Remark |
|---|---|
| Customer Item No. | When a customer item is filled the line will apply only for this customer item. When the field is empty it applies for all customer items. |
| Address No. | When a address is filled the line will apply only for this address. When the field is empty it applies for all addresses. |
