Configuring order priority and routing

As a provider, you can configure various parameters to prioritize and route orders to ensure that they are fulfilled on time.

Use order prioritization to:

  • Define prioritization rules using various customer, products, service, and order attributes.
  • Assign order priority while creating orders based on the pre-defined rules.
  • Identify urgent orders that need to be fulfilled immediately.
  • Automatically route high priority orders to a specific fulfiller group.
  • Ensure that orders are fulfilled in a committed date.
  • Recalculate order priority when any changes occur.

In Order Management, the order priority is calculated using pre-defined rules based on the following categories of data.

CategoryInput
CustomerCustomer account
Specification- Product specification - Service specification - Product offering
Order typeOrder line item
UrgencyOrder line item

Note: The inputs used in these decision tables and the rank can be modified according to your business requirements.

These rules are defined in the following decision tables:

  • Order Priority Policy by Customer Attributes
  • Order Priority Policy by Order Type
  • Order Priority Policy by Specification Attributes
  • Order Priority Policy by Urgency

Each parameter defined in the decision table has a rank value assigned to it. When an order is created, the decision tables are evaluated and a weightage is assigned to each table to calculate the order priority. See Calculating the order priority on how the priority is calculated.

Note: You can add new inputs, conditions, or modify the existing conditions in the decision tables. For more details on updating decision tables, see Using decision tables.
