Note: You can click the   button (or press F5) to invoke specific field help from within the job panel.

Business Benefits

In addition to performing automatic stock rotation (shipping the oldest stock first) the Foreign Trade Zone system may also be defined to select stock in a hierarchical sequence by Zone Status for each Order type.

Example: An FTZ Foreign Shipment Order

Assume the following Zone Status Hierarchy has been defined and an order quantity of 200 has been placed against the available stock.

Hierarchical Zone Status Sequence:

1. Preferred Foreign (PF)
2. Non-Preferred Foreign (NPF)
3. Zone Restricted (ZR)

Available Lots for required Product:

In the above scenario, the system will automatically select (and reserve) all the stock from lots with a "PF" status prior (a quantity of 180) before reserving stock from a lot with an "NPF" status (a quantity of 20).

Note: For related documentation and workflows, see FZ - Foreign Trade Zone.
