Strategies

Strategies are used by Aiden WMS functions, such as generating Picklists, to determine which inventory or which bins are valid to perform the warehouse action from or to.

When creating (or editing) a strategy, the following fields are available:

Field	Values	Remarks
Strategy Id		Manually determine a unique code for the strategy.
Name		User friendly name for the strategy.
Stock Sorting	LeastQuantity (default value)	When multiple bins are valid for an item, the bin with the least quantity is preferred.
	MostQuantity	When multiple bins are valid for an item, the bin with the highest quantity is preferred.
Batch Sorting	LeastQuantity	When multiple batches are valid for an item, the batch with the least quantity is preferred.
	MostQuantity	When multiple batches are valid for an item, the batch with the highest quantity is preferred.
	ExpiryDate (default value)	When multiple batches are valid for an item, the batch with the shortest Expiry Date is preferred (FEFO).
	InDate	When multiple batches are valid for an item, the batch which entered the warehouse first is preferred (FIFO).
Serial Sorting	LeastQuantity	When multiple serials are valid for an item, the bin with the least quantity is preferred.
	MostQuantity	When multiple serials are valid for an item, the bin with the highest quantity is preferred.
	InDate	When multiple serials are valid for an item, the serial which entered the warehouse first is preferred (FIFO).
Prefer Single Bin	Yes/No	When enabled, the strategy will first try to select the required quantity for an item from one single bin. If this is not possible it will select the bins where most of the quantity can be taken from to try to select as least as possible different bins.
Prefer Single Batch	Yes/No	When enabled, the strategy will first try to select the required quantity for an item from one single batch. If this is not possible it will select the batches where most of the quantity can be taken from to try to select as least as possible different bins. This setting might be in conflict with the `Batch Sorting` setting.
Strategy Bins	Zones in a warehouse or specific bins	When a Zone was selected, then all bins in that zone are selected. When multiple bins are valid for an item, the strategy will first look at the bins with the highest `Priority`.
