Before the consolidation location feature was introduced it was still possible to consolidate the item in a single location by using RBA with the activity setting to create a STR instead of replacing the location. What are the advantages of moving from the old setup to the new consolidation location? |

As a starting point, the information I collected while analyzing this topic. The consolidation location feature makes the configuration simpler and more explicit in the rule maintenance. There is a new field to set which location will consolidate the order, and previously the consolidation location was defined implicitly by the setup of the substitution rules. With consolidation location there is a two step scheduling (source location->consolidation location->customer). This allows modeling scheduling times with more detail. The ATP results screen also presents the information in a better way for this scenario. |
