Choosing the optimal shipping warehouse

When to use?

When several warehouses have enough of the same product, and when planning, you need to choose where to deliver it.

Scheme

Schema for case

How to implement the script?

By specifying alternative shipping warehouses. For equivalent shipping warehouses, specify the same demand_key keys so that the planner chooses the optimal warehouse on its own.

Examples

Example 1

If one DROP delivery point has three alternative PICKUP shipping depots, the scheduler will choose the optimal PICKUP from the three.

Example 2

There are two orders:

  • First order has 3 alternative PICKUP. It can be delivered from any store.
  • The second order is linked to the store whs_1. This order can only be delivered from this store.

The scheduler will calculate the route in such a way that both orders will be delivered from the store whs_1.
