A markdown avoidance reduces the risk of products selling at a discounted price by
shipping products from locations at risk of future discounts. To implement a markdown avoidance,
create a markdown avoidance rule in the Markdown Avoidance tab, sync it, and then add it to a rule
group.
Required Editions
-
In the Markdown Avoidance tab of Order Fulfillment Setup, click New.
-
Enter a name, external reference, and description.
-
Set a start and end date, which determines how long the rule prioritizes the at-risk
locations.
-
Score your rule. The score is assigned to locations that fit the rule’s conditions.
Locations with higher scores are prioritized during routing.
-
Click Next.
-
Select whether the rule applies to specific products or all products in the specified
locations.
-
If you selected Specific Products or Categories, select the products
or categories.
-
Click Next.
-
Add locations that are at risk of a price markdown.
-
Click Save.
-
Sync your markdown avoidance.
After you’ve created your markdown avoidance, add it to a rule group and assign it a weight. The rule group calculates
each rule’s weight with the location scores to select the best locations for
fulfillment.
