When inventory is received at a warehouse, an effective Pre-Order Management System enables merchandisers to allocate inventory for accepted customer Pre-Orders both manually and automatically. When merchandisers manually allocate inventory for Pre-Orders, they already know how much inventory is consumed by existing pre-orders. However, when the system automatically allocates the inventory, merchandisers have no idea how much inventory is available to promise, which orders have been allocated the inventory and which one’s haven’t.
Therefore, merchandisers prefer a daily summary of all pre-orders for which inventory is allocated automatically.
The Daily Released Pre-Order report gives a daily summary of all the pre-orders for which the Pre-Order Management System has automatically allocated the inventory.
