Do you want to test a specific rule rather than testing the entire algorithm itself? Here are the steps you can follow to test a specific rule.

Step-by-Step Guide

  • First, navigate to the Algorithms screen.

    • If you have trouble finding the screen, please search Algorithm using the Search Option on the menu bar.

  • Select Putaway Algorithm from the available options.

  • You'll need to enter the editing menu to test a rule within an algorithm. To do this, click on the name of the algorithm you wish to edit. You can also select the 3-Dots menu and click the Show Details or Edit.

  • From the Edit Algorithm screen, click on the Rules tab.

  • The rules that you've defined for your algorithm will become visible. Choose any existing rule from the Rule List by selecting it.

  • The specifics of the rule will load on the right side of the screen. Click on the Test Rule button at the bottom, next to Save Rule.

  • After clicking, the Test Rule pop-up will open. If you want to test the rule by product, fill in the following while on the Product Putaway tab:

    • Client: Select via dropdown.

    • Location: Begin typing the location name to search for it, then select it from the available options.

    • Product: Begin typing the product name or SKU to search for it, then select it from the available options

  • Once this information is entered, click the Search button. Any records found under that search will display.

  • Select the checkbox next to the item's name and click the Test button.

  • The rule will run and display the suggested location for this product. Once you've made a note of it, you can click OK to exit.

  • Alternately, if you want to test the rule by LP, choose the LP Putaway option and fill in the LP or the Parent LP in the corresponding search boxes.

  • Click the Search button to locate the inventory you wish to put away, select the check box next to it, then click the Test button.

  • The suggested putaway location(s) will display. Click OK to exit.

  • If the results of your tests are not to your satisfaction, you can edit the rule and continue running tests from the Edit Algorithm screen you are on.
