You can use multiple different mechanisms to schedule an order.
Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation provides
the following mechanisms to schedule an order:
- Use the Schedule agent for scheduling. Based on
your pipeline configuration, Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation can
invoke the schedule agent at an appropriate time and the scheduling
function is carried out.
- Use Schedule API to request the scheduling of a
particular order. You can request the scheduling of a particular order
using this API. Sterling Selling and
Fulfillment Foundation does
essentially the same processing as it does with the scheduling agent
except that you are controlling the sequence in which orders are picked
up for scheduling.
- Manually schedule the order lines. In this case,
you are deciding the node and dates against which the order line should
be scheduled. You should use the inventory availability inquiry API
before using this API.
