Example of Proportional Split
You have created sales order 123 with the following items:
Item 10 comprises 4 pallets of product A
Item 20 comprises 7 pallets of product B
Item 30 comprises 5 pallets of product C
You have defined "4 pallets" as the split quantityand "1 pallet" as the rounding quantity.
The following figure shows the split result when you select the various options:
The following section describes the split result in detail:
No item split
If you have set the
No Item Split
indicator in the split rule, the system groups the products by processing the order items item by item. The system therefore creates the following freight units (FUs): the four pallets of item 10 produce freight unit FU 123-0001. FU 123-0002 comprises four of the seven pallets of item 20. The three remaining pallets of this item produce FU 123-0003. FU 123-0004 comprises four of the five pallets of item 30. The last pallet produces the split remainder FU 123.No proportional split
The system groups the products by processing the order items item by item. The system therefore creates the following freight units (FUs): the four pallets of item 10 produce freight unit FU 123-0001. FU 123-0002 comprises the next four pallets, in other words, the first four pallets of item 20, and so on. FU 123-0003 comprises the remaining three pallets of item 20 as well as the first pallet of item 30, and so on. In the case of this option, the system can combine different products in a freight unit.
Proportional split (not weighted)
The system groups the products by processing all the order items. The system therefore creates the following freight units (FUs): freight unit FU 123-0001 comprises a pallet of item 10, a pallet of item 20, a pallet of item 30, and then another pallet of item 10. FU 123-0002 comprises a pallet of item 20, a pallet of item 30, and so on until all the pallets are distributed to FUs.
The freight unit quantity per item is calculated as follows:
Freight unit quantity = split quantity/number of order items
Proportional split (weighted)
The system groups the products in accordance with the weighting of the individual item quantities compared with the total quantity of the order items.
The freight unit quantity per item is calculated as follows:
Freight unit quantity = split quantity x item quantity / total quantity of order items
The freight unit quantity is rounded in accordance with the rounding quantity.
In this example, the freight unit quantity is calculated as follows:
Item 10
4 x 4 / 16 = 1
Item 20
4 x 7 / 16 = 1.75, is rounded up to 2
Item 30
4 x 5 / 16 = 1.25, is rounded down to 1
