M3 vs ORSI

Feature
ORSI System
M3 System

Facility Sequence

Outlet Warehouse, Outlet Store, Retail Warehouse, Retail Store

The facility sequence is not explicitly mentioned in the M3 logic, but the inclusion of a "Facility Group" filter suggests a potential prioritization based on facility groups.

Order Selection

Orders are selected based on order date (earliest first).

Orders are selected based on: 1) Facility Group (must be part of "M3_FAC") 2) Order Date (earliest first) 3) Shipment Method (NEXT_DAY, TWO_DAY for expedited, STANDARD otherwise)

Single-Line Item Orders

Same logic for both Expedited and Standard shipping: Prioritize warehouse if available, otherwise broker to the store with sufficient inventory or the nearest store.

No distinction between single-line and multi-line item orders for brokering logic in M3.

Multi-Line Item Orders

Same logic for Expedited and Standard shipping: Prioritize warehouse if available, otherwise broker to the store.

For Standard shipping: Prioritize fulfilling all items at one warehouse or store if possible. If not, split the order and prioritize warehouses for individual items.

Rebrokering

Same logic for Expedited and Standard shipping: Prioritize warehouse if available, otherwise broker to the store.

Same logic as Standard Shipping for both Expedited and Standard in M3.

Unfillable Orders

Same logic for Expedited and Standard shipping: Mark as unfillable, set auto-cancel date, and re-broker the next day if inventory becomes available.

Same logic as Standard Shipping for both Expedited and Standard in M3.

Key Differences Summary:

  • Facility Group Filtering: M3 introduces a new filter based on facility groups ("M3_FAC").

  • Shipment Method Filtering: M3 explicitly filters orders based on shipping methods (NEXT_DAY, TWO_DAY, STANDARD).

  • Combined Brokering Logic: M3 does not distinguish between single-line and multi-line item orders for most of its brokering logic.

  • Multi-Line Item Splitting: M3 has a more sophisticated approach to splitting multi-line item orders when items are not available at a single location, prioritizing warehouses for individual items.
