Context

Stock disposition is used to track temporarily unavailable stocks. Stock queries can take it into account for a stock export https://onestock.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/DOCUMENTAT/pages/357007377/Stock+queries#Deductions. It should be reset during the next stock import to ensure consistency.

The acronym UATF means ‘Unable to Fulfill’stands for 'Unable to Fulfill', indicating that the store has temporarily unavailable stocks during order preparation.

Setting up dispositions

Configure dispositions

Adding a new disposition

You can define your own stock dispositions and give them the name you want. Each disposition has a key and a linked attribute. Attributes

The key is just an identifier, which is not meant to be displayed. You will see in the next paragraph how to define translations to have a name ready for display, in each language.

By default, the linked attribute can be set to: in_stock or not_in_stock. These attributes are referenced in stock queries, and to allow user to easily deduct all dispositions linked to a given attributemarked as not_in_stock.

Keys and attributes are configured in the https://admin.onestock-retail.com/c00/config/view/stock?subpath=stock.params page of the back office.

Setting up dispositions proposed in the Store App

Dispositions are also utilized to flag “unfulfillable” lines in the Store App. In cases situations where a product line cannot be prepared at the store due to missing either insufficient available stock or faulty defective remaining stock, dispositions can be applied implemented to flag mark the line and render make it unavailable.

You may decide to propose all the stock dispositions you defined before, or propose only some of them in the Store App (and for example, use the others only for warehouse stock dispositions).

“Unfulfillable” reasons are configured at Configuration /> Store App /> General Settings /> UATF Reasons

The configuration page displays all dispositions already configured in the stock page (above section). If you want to add a new UATF reasonstock disposition, you first have to add it the the Stock configuration (see paragraphe above).

For each stock disposition, you can define:

• comment:

  • No comment: the user that marks the item as unavailable with this reason will not have the possibility to add a comment.

  • Optional comment: the user that marks the item as unavailable with this reason can add a comment to explain why it is unavailable.

  • Required comment: the user that marks the item as unavailable with this reason must add a comment to explain why it is unavailable.

• Enabled:

  • if enabled, this reason will be proposed to the users in the Store app.

  • if disabled, this reason will not be proposed in the Store app.

The Store App pages that support UATF declarations marking items as unavailable are the preparation pages, that is: pack, pack_scan, bag, bag_scan and picking.

Manipulating Stock Disposition

API

Dispositions can be declared through the API without using the store app. For example, you can declare “unfulfillable” lines in a scenario where a warehouse that doesn’t have a Store App notifies that some lines are “unfulfillable”.

Piece group

A piece group is an internal entity used in the store app. It can be used to create stock disposition using its state uatf.

Create disposition

In the transition from its initial state fulfillable to uatf, the action notify_uatf creates as many stock disposition as the piece group quantity.

Delete disposition

The disposition is removed during the opposite transition from uatf to fulfillable.

Automatically delete disposition

To automatically delete a disposition, the corresponding piece group should automatically go to fulfillable. This can be achieved by using notifications, as a notification will be automatically triggered after the programmed delay. The notification used in the action send_change_state_notification is change_state and can be configured in Configuration > Outbound messages > Notifications.

What occurs when stock is marked unavailable in the Store App?

Default Action

By default, declaring a disposition in the store app results in the entire order being instantly unclaimed.

Partial Unclaiming

To declare a disposition without unclaiming the order, you can enable partial unclaiming. In this scenario, only the unavailable line_item_groups will be unclaimed after completing all operations on the current page.

Enable Partial Unclaim Per Stock Location - Recommended

It is recommended to activate partial unclaiming for a selection of store app pages for specific stock locations using the unclaim_policy_partial tag. Simply select the pages from the dropdown menu.

Page scope - not recommended

To enable partial disposition at a page scope, go to https://admin.onestock-retail.com/c00/config/store_app/entry/general_settings in advanced configuration.

The possible values for unclaim_policy_partial are pack (for pack and pack_scan), bag (for bag and bag_scan and picking.
