Capacity Feature

Regardless of scenarios, the process of lowering and raising quotas continues, the quota amount continues to increase and decrease on a location basis. However, for these alterations to impact planning, the scenario rules must have the SELECT_BY_QUOTA value.

• The maximum quota value specifies how many packages can be created from the respective location. The quota value is a user-unspecified parameter used for monitoring the maximum quota value and performing increase or decrease operations.

• max_quota - quota = available_quota

• If the available_quota value is 0, no packages can be created. (To encounter this scenario, the SELECT_BY_QUOTA value must be chosen in the scenario rules.)

• For packages with a status below 400 and in the cancellation_waiting state, the quota value increases by 1. (During this stage, when the package is in the waiting state, the quota amount is considered to increase by 1.)

• Upon packaging a package, the quota value decreases by 1. Consequently, the available_quota increases, enhancing the likelihood of packaging from the respective location.

• In the event of a package cancellation, the quota amount decreases by 1 in a similar way.

How to Set Max_quota Condition​

• Navigate to Akinon OMS > Locations > x location: Enter the desired max_quota value in the max_quota field.

• Navigate to Akinon OMS > Scenarios > Distribution Scenario > Rules > StockLocation Conditions: Ensure SELECT_BY_QUOTA is selected.

  • Once these steps are executed, the packaging process will factor in the max_quota amount.

  • After establishing this condition, it is crucial to note that the packaging process will occur based on the max_quota value.

  • In case of misuse, the packaging process may not occur. (For instance, if max_quota values are not entered for locations, and there is only one rule in the scenario with a quota condition, the packaging process will not occur.)
