Capacity
Capacity is the quantity of a resource available to fulfill an optimization objective. For example, you might want to model node capacity.
- Release
- One capacity for each order potential order release
- Unit
- One capacity for each ordered unit
- Line
- One capacity for each order line
- Node capacity
-
The resource potential for fulfilling inventory requests at a node.
- Capacity category
-
You can categorize capacity based on characteristics like standard node capacity or supplemental node capacity.
- Tags
-
A taxonomic classification of capacity categories. For example, after you define a capacity category as standard node capacity or supplemental node capacity, you can further classify the category into characteristics like delivery method, item, packing, or picking. You can define capacity as STANDARD_NODE_CAPACITY to indicate that the capacity applies to a node, and you can further designate capacity by delivery method.
- Slots
-
By using the slot-based node capacity, you can specify the quantity that can be made available during a specific time slot for a certain capacity category and tags.
Capacity availability considerations in Promising
The Scenario: Calculate item delivery or pickup date based on finite capacity windows and Scenario: Calculate pre-purchase pick-up and shipment assignments using finite capacity windows APIs use capacity availability that is configured to make promising decisions. These APIs assume that capacity is measured in units to leverage the capacity availability.
