Algorithms

FEATURES

Bulk storage optimization: option ‘Allow mixing of substitutes’ was added with the logic that two products might be packed into the same row, if they have the same master product.;

Create all internal orders for campaign: implemented a new logic for Internal order creation with consideration of subtransporters;

Bulk storage optimization: Bulk area packing map for racks and bins (depends on case type) was implemented in 2D and 3D;

Extrapolation: removed input parameter ‘Copy additional order information to new orders’ for Average strategy;

Extrapolation: added endings to copied\extrapolated orders after running the algorithm, in order to show which orders/orderlines are simply copied and which are extrapolated;

Available working hours: made the values of the ‘Start’ and ‘Duration’ fields reflect the actual time and duration of the beam, not be the default;

Assign pick/put locations: changed logic for input parameter ‘Wave group’;

Interactive case optimization: added error UI window message;

Create all internal orders for campaign: added new warning ‘No compatible pick positions could be found for:’ for cases when the ‘bin’ value for pick orderlines is ‘null’ or 0, or when the orderlines are found in the error bin;

Calculate case types by volume: improved checking sizes logic in split step, the old logic using dimension indices was removed: now, in the beginning of the packing, it is checked by the new logic if single items are fitting to a certain case type;

Calculate case types by dimensions: improved the logic for ‘minimum split of orderline’, so that products are not separated to too many different cases;

Calculate case types by dimensions: added a new warning ‘All internal orders for transport process(es) were packed by volume and will not be shown in Show case pack schema’ for case when all internal orders were packed using case pack by volume logic;
