# Configure shipping rules

Control shipping eligibility and fulfillment capacity by product, facility, or channel.

Open `Sourcing` > `Shipping` to manage shipping across three tabs:

* `Product and facility`: Apply a product rule to facility groups.
* `Product and channel`: Apply a product rule to inventory channels.
* `Facility`: Set the fulfillment capacity for individual facilities.

## Set facility fulfillment capacity

Fulfillment capacity limits how many orders can be allocated to a facility. It does not change the facility available-to-promise inventory.

1. Select the `Facility` tab.
2. Find the facility card.
3. Select the capacity chip.
4. Choose a capacity:
   * `Unlimited Capacity`: Remove the order limit.
   * `No Capacity`: Set the limit to zero and block new allocations.
   * `Custom`: Enter a value greater than zero.
5. Select `Apply`.

A facility with a custom limit displays allocated orders against its capacity.

## Create a product and facility rule

Use this rule when selected products should have different shipping eligibility at a set of facilities.

1. Select the `Product and facility` tab.
2. Select `Create shipping rule` when the tab has no rules, or select the add button.
3. Enter a unique `Name`.
4. Turn `Shipping` on to allow shipping or off to block shipping.
5. Turn on `Select all facility groups`, or add at least one group under `Included`.
6. Add groups under `Excluded` to remove them from the included scope.
7. Select the button that shows the number of impacted facilities and confirm the resulting facility count.
8. Define the product scope under `Products by tags` and `Products by feature`.
9. Select the save button.

If no facility groups are available, select `Create facility group` or `Use an existing group` from the rule form.

## Create a product and channel rule

Use this rule when selected products should have different shipping eligibility on one or more inventory channels.

1. Select the `Product and channel` tab.
2. Select `Create shipping rule` when the tab has no rules, or select the add button.
3. Enter a unique `Name`.
4. Turn `Shipping` on to allow shipping or off to block shipping.
5. Select one or more channels, or turn on `Select all channels`.
6. Define the product scope with tags or product features.
7. Select the save button.

If no channels are available, select `Create channel` or `Manage channels` from the rule form.

## Review and prioritize rules

Expand a rule card to review its shipping setting, scope, and product filters.

* Change the `Shipping` toggle on the card for an immediate setting update.
* Select `Edit rule` to change the complete rule.
* Select the archive button to remove the rule from the active sequence.
* Expand `Archived` to restore a rule.

The last matching rule in the sequence sets the shipping value for a product and facility. Use the sequence button to reorder the rules, then select the save button.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.hotwax.co/documents/retail-operations/inventory/available-to-promise/shipping-rule.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
