Enabling inventory segmentation allocation and rebalancing frequency

You can enable inventory segmentation allocation by using the UI or an API. When you enable this feature, you can start to create segmentation allocation rules.

Inventory segmentation allocation

1. Enable inventory segmentation allocation by using the UI or an API:

   Enablement option	Procedure
   Order Hub	Log in to Order Hub. To open the Tenant configurations page, click Tenant. In the Inventory considerations section, toggle the Segment rebalancing execution time to On. Click Save.
   API	In the Update settings API, set the allocationEnabled attribute to true.

   Example: Setting the allocationEnabled attribute in the Update Settings API

   {
     "segmentation" : {
       "allocationEnabled" : "true"
     }
   }

Segment rebalancing

2. To rebalance your inventory across different segments, enable segment rebalancing by using the UI or an API:

   Enablement option	Procedure
   Order Hub	Enter a reallocation time that is 6 hours at a minimum. The minimum time that you can set to rebalance your inventory is 6 hours and it is set to 0 by default. If the time is set to 0, or any negative value, reallocation is not enabled but the allocation for the supply sync still occurs.
   API	In the Update settings API, set the minReallocationHours attribute to a positive value that is a minimum of 6. The minimum time that you can set to rebalance your inventory is 6 hours and it is set to 0 by default. If the time is set to 0, or any negative value, reallocation is not enabled but the allocation for the supply sync still occurs.

   Example: Setting the allocationEnabled attribute in the Update Settings API

   {
     "segmentation" : {
       "minReallocationHours" : "2"
     }
   }

   In this example, the reallocation is set to two hours.
