Constraints can also be used to split an order into many, by dividing the total order by a predefined constraint.
Example
The total order fills three containers, however the vendor will send an invoice per container.
The requirement is to send out 3 separate orders to the vendor, to match the invoices.
Navigate to Orders>constraints > split by
To split an order by a constraint
Check the relevant order or lines
Click on the order constraint 3D box.
Select the 3x boxes: Split by Constraint option
Select the constraint you wish to split the order by.
Final order settings:
No action: simply splits total order volume by constraint.
Omit final order: splits by constraint and delete’s the last order
Example: total order: 150 cubic meters, split by 66 = 2,27. 2 full container orders will be created, the third with 0,27 container load will be deleted.
Use fillup: the last order will be filled by the constraint fill up (i.e. highest sales, to gain 3 full container load).
