M3 vs ORSI

FeatureORSI SystemM3 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.
