Sourcing Logic Evaluation and Execution
Feature
Changed on:
17 June 2026
Overview
The Sourcing Logic Evaluation feature automates real-time processing of routing rules to determine optimal fulfillment nodes for inbound orders. The engine systematically reviews active strategies, filters out inapplicable options, and applies criteria as tie-breakers to rank locations.- Evaluates Sourcing Strategies based on defined Priority.
- Skips inactive or inapplicable Sourcing Strategies.
- Applies Sourcing Criteria in sequence, with each serving as a tie-breaker to rank eligible fulfillment Location options.
How it Works
The core routing engine processes your fulfillment configurations through a standardized, sequential validation pipeline:- Priority-Based Evaluation: The engine evaluates your configured
`Sourcing Strategies`in strict accordance with their defined priority sequence. - Conditional Strategy Skipping: The system automatically identifies and skips any sourcing strategy that is marked inactive or determined to be conditionally inapplicable based on the specific order context.
- Sequential Criteria Ranking: The engine applies assigned
`Sourcing Criteria`in a precise sequence. Each independent criterion in the sequence serves as an automated tie-breaker to rank eligible fulfillment location options from most optimal to least optimal.
Who is This Feature For?
This feature is best suited for:- Operations and Fulfillment Directors who require an automated, rule-based decision engine to evaluate multi-location network parameters instantly without manual intervention.
- Logistics Architects who need a predictable execution pipeline that handles standard, partial, or rejected fulfillment workflows systematically based on real-time location rankings.
What Problems Does it Solve?
- Automated Operational Efficiency: Skipping inactive or inapplicable rules automatically prevents processing bottlenecks, ensuring rapid order routing decisions.
- Eliminated Business Logic Ties: Using sequential criteria as automated tie-breakers guarantees that the system always identifies a single, optimal fulfillment location based on your prioritized constraints.
- Predictable Workflow Control: Direct mapping to specialized fulfillment handlers ensures the system cleanly coordinates full, partial, or rejected order allocations depending on real-time location ranks.
