Business models
There is no single business model that encompasses the
environment in which the entire Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation can
be used.
Global inventory visibility configuration
The Sterling Global Inventory
Visibility application
is a collection of common components used to define inventory and
capacity availability throughout the system.
Icons
You can review the icons that are used in the application.
Configuring inventory rules Inventory business rules are used to set up rules
and common codes used for product item availability calculations and
inventory handling in Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation.
Configuring inventory node type rules
As an advanced configuration, you can configure inventory
node type rules. These rules allow for the configuration of inventory
level node type rules to determine whether to apply on-hand and future
safety factors to inventory.
Configuring resource capacity
Resource capacity components are used to determine delivery
service item and provided service item availability.
Configuring count
Count requests are initiated through the console on an
ad hoc basis. System events like exception being recorded during putaway,
retrieval or pick, or location quantity dropping below minimum levels
or to zero can be used to initiate a count request.
Synchronizing with node inventory Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation provides
the functionality to reconcile its internal inventory picture with
the actual inventory picture at the nodes.
