Schedule inbound order

Order scheduling indicates that a node or nodes have sufficient inventory to fulfill a inbound order. Once an inbound order is scheduled it can be released to the applicable node or nodes. A scheduling rule determines the node or nodes that the inbound order can be scheduled with based on inventory availability and node preferences.

While performing this action from the Inbound Order Console, you can select a scheduling rule. You can also choose to release the inbound order immediately after scheduling it. If you do so, you can also choose to override the release date of the inbound order if you want to release it at that moment, regardless of the calculated release date.

For example, an inbound order is using a scheduling rule that schedules the ordered item to a node 100 miles from the ship to address. However, a new node has been added to your Enterprise that supplies the inbound order line items and is only 50 miles away from the ship to address. A new scheduling rule has been created for this node. You may decide that the inbound order should be shipped from a shorter distance and change to the scheduling rule for the new node.
