Sourcing Conditions and Criteria Library
Feature
Changed on:
17 June 2026
Overview
- Expandable library with predefined functions
- Built-in configuration parameters:
- Path
- Operators (e.g., equals, greaterThan)
- Condition Scope (e.g., ALL, ANY)
- Bands
- Thresholds
- Support for custom Sourcing Conditions and Criteria via partner extensions
How it Works
The library serves as a central toolkit that lets you define how Fluent Order Management evaluates and ranks fulfillment locations before routing an order.- Predefined Functions: The platform provides a collection of ready-to-use functions to evaluate order data and location attributes immediately without requiring custom development.
- Built-in Configuration Parameters: You configure your routing business rules using a structured set of core parameters:
`Path`: Defines the specific data attribute or system property evaluated by the rule engine.`Operators`: Sets the evaluation logic applied to your data, including standard parameters like`equals`or`greaterThan`.`Condition Scope`: Controls how broadly the rule applies across order lines, utilizing boundaries such as`ALL`or`ANY`.`Bands`and`Thresholds`: Establishes numerical ranges and limits to rank or filter eligible locations dynamically based on business metrics.
- Partner Extensions: If your business requires specialized logic beyond the out-of-the-box library, the framework supports the creation of custom sourcing conditions and sourcing criteria developed by implementation partners.
Who is This Feature For?
This feature is best suited for:- Operations and Supply Chain Managers who need a predictable, parameter-driven library to manage and tweak order routing rules without editing source code.
- Technical Implementation Partners who require an extensible architecture to build, inject, and scale bespoke fulfillment logic for complex corporate networks.
What Problems Does it Solve?
- Accelerated Time to Market: Utilizing predefined functions and standard parameters like built-in operators allows your team to deploy baseline routing configurations quickly.
- Granular Business Governance: Combining specific paths, condition scopes, bands, and thresholds enables you to translate complex corporate policies into automated platform logic.
- Future-Proof Extensibility: Support for custom partner extensions ensures your routing architecture easily adapts to unique, evolving logistics requirements as your enterprise grows.
