Supply audit due to unsegmented inventory consumption
Consider that segment is configured to use the unsegmented inventory. When supply for the segment is reduced and sufficient quantity is not available in the requested segment, it reduces excess supply from unsegmented inventory.
Supply audit attributes
- Purpose attribute
- For supply audit records, there are different types of purposes that are applicable. The
purpose attribute specifies the reason for the generated audit. The following
purposes are available when segment uses unsegmented inventory:
- SEGMENT_CONSUMPTION - When an supply adjustment occurs from unsegmented supply as a result of user initialed supply adjustment for segment.
- Parent Action Id
- Every supply adjustment operation causes the system to perform inventory supply adjustments across segment and unsegmented. This Action Id is set as the Parent Action Id. All the system updates due to this original supply update are then stamped with the same Parent Action Id for traceability. Each audit record is also stamped with a unique action Id.
- RelatedBy Action Id
- When supply updates occur due to an system determined adjustment for segmented and unsegmented inventory, the system generates an Id that is stamped as relatedByActionId on all related supply audit records as per the allocation plan for traceability. Each audit record is also stamped with a unique action Id.
- Audit type
- The audit record provides an audit type attribute that indicates who initiated the inventory
update. Following is the audit type values:
- Audits by system
- System-generated audits is triggered by an automated segment reallocation process executed at scheduled time intervals. For more information, see Segment rebalancing.
- Audit details
- Audit details contains more information about the operation that initiated the generation of
additional audit records, that could be due to utilization of supply from unsegmented
inventory.
For example, in current case, it provides details of segment consumption rule enabled for
SegmentType-Segmentcombination along with the supply adjustment details.
