This topic provides an overview of the features and benefits of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fulfillment Management system.
Features of the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Fulfillment Management system include:
• Order line selection.
• Scoring.
• Service level rules.
• Rule evaluation.
• Auto fulfillment.
Order line selection enables you to determine the types of order lines that you want the system to enter into the fulfillment process.
You can use basic scoring or advanced preference scoring to determine the score of order lines used in the fulfillment process.
You can specify how the system fulfills inventory for your customers by setting up service level rules. You can also override service level rules.
The system uses the rule evaluation flag to determine whether a material change has occurred which affects whether the service level rule requirements are met for the order line. This flag enables you to review changes that occur when sales orders are updated.
You can run a batch process that assigns inventory to open sales order lines based on the score or other predefined criteria. You can schedule the Auto Fulfillment Processing program (R4277701) to run periodically to best fit your business needs.

Management system include:
• Fulfillment rules.
• Auto fulfillment load balancer.
• Fulfillment workbench.
• Release from fulfillment.

With fulfillment rules, you can specify how the system assigns inventory by setting up rules based on score and inventory levels.
Based on the number of concurrent auto-fulfillment processes that you specify, you can run the Auto Fulfillment Load Balancer (R4277711) program to evenly divide the sales order lines selected for processing.
The fulfillment workbench enables you to interactively adjust the inventory assigned to sales order lines.
When you run the Release from Fulfillment program (R4277703),the system validates that all rules have been met prior to moving the order lines to the next step in the sales order process.
You can set up the system to send notification messages when quantity is unfulfilled.
