There are several reasons why a selected product in the scenario scope can be removed or restricted in movements
Blocks restrictions selected in the execution
- Apply replenishment blocks: when selected, we will not include in the scenario the products blocked from being replenished (the store lay out
- Block recently moved products: where you can avoid including in the scenario products recently moved. It is necessary to enter the days/weeks you want to be taken as a reference. Product-store combinations in any of the recently created submitted scenarios will be blocked.
- Block recently introduced products: where you can avoid moving products recently allocated in a store.
Scenario Parametrization
- Min ESI per trip: a high cost per trip may prevent some products from being moved as it is going to restrict the amount of trips proposed.
- Number of trips: the same as before, selecting a small amount of allowed trips will restrict the movements proposed.
- Visual merchandiser weight: in this case, the importance of complying with visual rules will affect the amount of products moved.
- Efficiency threshold. A high value will reduce the amount of products moved as it is going to be harder to reach the expected benefit.
- Cost per unit / Cost per product: the higher it gets the more difficult it is to move units.
Platform Parametrization related. These settings can be decided during your onboarding phase or afterwards under request.
- Maximum number of arcs considered: max number of possible trips considered between stores
- Maximum number of units received. Max units stores can receive
- Maximum number of units sent. Max units stores can send
Other constraints considered when moving products
- Product availability in the stores where the movements are happening. We need enough stock available to be able to move them.
- The products should have been allocated at some point in the past in the stores to enable them as receivers.
- Trips restrictions may affect the amount of products moved as we are restricting possible trips.
