Allocation
🎯 Multiple allocation strategies on the same product
What's new
You can now create and run multiple allocation strategies on the same product. Each strategy applies its own allocation logic to a different set of stores or time periods while drawing from the same shared inventory, and they run together as a single combined allocation.
What you can do
- Create a related strategy in one click– Right-click an existing strategy and selectCreate Related Strategy. It inherits most settings automatically, leaving you to set just the location list and Allocation Group.
- Configure each strategy independently– Every related strategy keeps its own inputs: location list, dates, ROS/forecast, order cycle, safety stock, prioritization method, and location overrides.
- Organize with Allocation Groups– Group related strategies together with labels, similar to Assortment Groups.
- Set priority for shared inventory– Use the Allocation Strategy Priority attribute to decide which strategy gets shared warehouse inventory first when strategies compete — lower numbers take priority.
- Avoid conflicts automatically– Overlap validation prevents two strategies from serving the same store during the same timeframe.
Why it helps
- Run full-price and outlet strategies on the same product with separate parameters.
- Give different store groups their own replenishment schedules.
- Phase in next-season allocations while the current season keeps running elsewhere.
- Let different planners manage separate subsets of stores.
- Serve multiple distribution channels from a single warehouse.
