Configure Sourcing Strategies

• Strategy-Specific Overrides: Sourcing strategies allow you to bypass default sourcing profile values. You can define specific parameters for a targeted `Network`, `Virtual Catalog`, and `Max Split` values on a per-strategy basis.
• Execution Control: The system manages strategy execution through a clear lifecycle and evaluation path:
  • Priority: Determines the precise sequence in which the system evaluates multiple strategies.
  • Status: Controls the operational lifecycle by allowing you to activate, deactivate, or retire (remove from the `Sourcing Profile`) a strategy.
  • Sourcing Conditions: Defines the business rules that must be met for a strategy to apply to an inbound order.
• Location Ranking: You assign, sequence, and configure multiple execution parameters (`Sourcing Criteria`) within each strategy to evaluate and rank eligible fulfillment locations automatically.

Who is This Feature For?

• Operations and Supply Chain Managers who need to control fulfillment rules, limit order splits, and prioritize specific store or warehouse groups.
• E-Commerce Logistics Teams responsible for managing complex distribution setups across multiple regions, countries, or distinct customer segments.

What Problems Does it Solve?

• Reduced Shipping Costs: Setting precise `Max Split` values prevents orders from breaking into too many separate shipments, protecting profit margins.
• Fulfillment Agility: Overriding profile defaults with strategy-specific networks and virtual catalogs allows your logistics teams to adjust routing rules instantly without rebuilding core profiles.
• Centralized Governance: Managing strategies via priority sequences and lifecycle statuses ensures consistent, automated routing decisions that align with real-time business constraints.
• Optimized Location Utilization: Ranking fulfillment facilities through tailored criteria ensures the platform routes orders to the most efficient inventory nodes first.
