CONTROL POINT
Sales Order Fulfilment & Allocation
Demand moves through one governed fulfilment journey.
FULFILMENT DECISION CONTROL
Decide what can be fulfilled — and release only what is ready
Prism turns validated customer demand into an executable fulfilment plan. Reserve what you can confidently ship, replenish what you must — and release only work your warehouse can actually perform.
- Understand usable supply
- Allocate by policy
- Reserve without over-committing
- Surface shortages early
THE FULFILMENT GAP
A valid order is not always ready to pick
Headline stock may be reserved, in reserve locations, blocked, under receipt or in another warehouse. Prism surfaces the true supply position before warehouse work is released.
WHAT IT DOES
What it does
READ FULFILMENT REALITY
- Understand usable supplySee what is pickable now versus reserved, blocked, in transit or under receipt — and why.
- Surface shortages earlyIdentify gaps and operational impacts before the warehouse is affected.
APPLY ALLOCATION POLICY
- Allocate by policyApply rules consistently across items, warehouses and priorities.
- Reserve without over-committingProtect available stock while preventing conflicting reservations.
RELEASE CLEAN WORK
- Request replenishmentCreate governed replenishment requests where reserve stock must move to the pick face.
- Release clean warehouse workRelease only work that is pickable, complete and executable.
PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
One place to see what can ship, what cannot — and why
The Allocation Workbench gives teams clear visibility and control before work reaches the warehouse.
ALLOCATION WORKBENCH
Supply posture and release decisions line by line
Compare pickable, reserved, in-transit and blocked supply, apply sourcing policy and control which order lines can proceed to warehouse release.
- Usable supply by stock stateSee pickable, reserve, in-transit and blocked stock with status and location.
- Policy-led source and reservationAllocate by policy, protect stock and avoid over-committing.
- Shortage and replenishment decisionsIdentify gaps, request replenishment and prioritise what to resolve.
OPERATING MODEL
