The Fiorano Solution : Order Processing and Stock Allocation

• The Problem
  • SAP R/3 allocates stock immediately for any sales order
  • By the time one reaches the last order, one may have run out of stock
  • Priority orders cannot be processed because available stock has already been pre-allocated to previous orders
  • Rollback needs to be performed manually; not practical to enter all orders into SAP in a single shot
  • Orders not entered into the system until they are ready for dispatch; lack of prioritized allocation of stock a major hindrance
• The Solution
  • Fiorano flows manage Order Processing
  • Order Entry: All orders can be entered into the system as they are produced
  • Prioritization: Fiorano flows involved to prioritize orders; separation of stock allocation from order entry enables easier prioritization
  • Stock Allocation: Fiorano flow invoked to pick up an order, allocate stock to it “just in time” and send it for invoicing via the optimized 2-step invoicing process.
• Benefits
  • Highly flexible order processing tailored to enterprise needs
  • No manual rollbacks
  • Easy and flexible order prioritization
  • Just-in-time stock allocation
