Introduction
Consolidation is the process to optimize the usage of the carriers. When there are two carrier with the same article, there is enough space and the weight is acceptable the system try to combine them.
How it works
StockControl can handle a request to create a Consolidation order. This request contains a zone and a carriertype.
The zone is required, if there is no carriertype, stock control falls back to the default “STOCKCARRIER“
As stockcontrol receives a request it tries to find 2 matching carriers as follows:
StockControl searches for a carrier of the defined type in the zone
StockControl searches for an other carrier containing the same article in the same zone
If both carriers contain exactly the same articles, StockControl check that the combine weight and volume don’t exceed the given settings for that carriertype
When all conditions are met, the consolidation order is created
