Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation considers all the resource pools that are associated with the possible servicing locations and that meet additional constraints.
The additional constraints that must be met are:
Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation suggests available slots based on:
A minimum service notification time can be specified at the node level. Any service slots starting within current time and this notification time (in business hours) are considered as unavailable and are not suggested.
This parameter is set up as part of the scheduling rules. This parameter sets the upper boundary on the date until which service availability is looked up to. Typically you should set this up in the range of 30 to 60 days. Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation looks up slot availability within the boundaries defined by this parameter.
When inquiring for slot availability, Sterling Selling and Fulfillment Foundation suggests an array of slots that are available. Since a slot could be served by more than one resource pool, the array represents availability across all resource pools that can serve that region and service item. The actual resource pool to use is not locked in until the order line is scheduled.
