  • You specified a maximum volume as a capacity criterion.
    In order to ensure that this criterion is met, all deliveries should be
    sorted in descending order according to volume. This criterion is added
    as the last sort criterion. This means that the sequence of the
    deliveries, which you have already defined with different criteria,
    remains unchanged (for example, sorting according to ship-to party).
    When the system processes the capacity criteria, it considers the
    deliveries of a shipment (according to their sequence). Each time a
    delivery exceeds the maximum volume of the shipment, the system omits
    this delivery and selects the next one. In this way, the system can
    fill the shipments satisfactorily but not optimally!
