Hopping Depth
Hopping Depth means the number of maximum hops that any Sale Order Item should be allowed before it is allocated to default facility.
If the total hop count is less than the hopping depth, the next hop will be allowed. However, if the total hop count equals the hopping depth, the next hop will automatically default to the facility stored at the channel level under the field “Default Facility Code”.
Configuration: Channel Level Config: “Default Facility Code (Optional)”
- By default, the value of this config would be ‘Null’.
Configuration: Tenant Level Config: “Hopping Depth” in General Setting.
- By default, the value of this config would be ‘0’.
- To enable this feature, connect with UC Support Team/KAM to mark this config as ‘True‘.
Note:
- The system will handle the hopping of Sale Order Items based on the Channel Level configuration.
- If the hopping depth is exceeded, the default facility assigned to the Sale Order Item will be picked from the Channel setting.
