Dot.Com merchants require an Inventory Report (EDI Transaction Set 846) that tells them what you have available for sale. Without a clear report, Dot.Com merchants cannot reliably offer product to customers. Accurate allocation is essential. Without it, your product’s presentation may not be shown.
When the product is very popular, it must be allocated among the Dot.Com customers. The inventory of a popular product should not be pledged to all on a first-come, first served basis. A failure to ship a fast moving product means a negative score card rating.
Benefits of an Accurate Inventory Report:
• Maintain control of inventory through local solution
• Establish confidence in buyer/seller relationship
• Satisfy customers through accurate order fulfillment
• Eliminate inventory shortages
• Reduce errors in order fulfillment
• Make more informed ordering decisions
• Organize inventory for optimal fulfillment
• Increase efficiency and accuracy in operation records
• Increase supply chain profits
Through the synchronization of multi-order types and inventory status, the Allocation Inventory Report matches customer demand to supply for accurate order management.
The solution has two parts:
• Customer service must make the allocation.
• The Allocated Inventory Report must be generated from a different table. (The inventory of non-allocated items is copied from the regular inventory table.)
