Configuring cost-based optimization for promising

Configure cost-based optimization for cost-efficient promising and sourcing recommendations.

About this task

You can configure cost-based optimization for calculating prepurchase shipment assignments, get cost-efficient sourcing recommendations, and reduce overall cost-to-serve. You can configure cost-based optimization by using APIs and Order Hub UI.

1. Configure node processing cost. For more information about creating and retrieving processing cost for a node, see Configuring node processing cost.
2. Configure node capacity for optimization that signifies the available capacity for a node over a specific time by using Create capacity API.
3. Configure carrier transit rates by using Upload transit rates by shipping zones API to determine transit rates used for the carrier service.
4. Configure node-balancing values to distribute and balance the workload across the network. For more information about node-balancing and its prerequisites, see Managing node-balancing values.
