Publication number: 20170091683Abstract: A system and method for distribution center fulfillment capacity availability tracking is presented herein. A method can include determining an initial value for a fulfillment capacity of each location of one or more locations. The initial value for the fulfillment capacity is an estimation of how many units can be shipped from the location in a particular time period. Thereafter, the fulfillment capacity is adjusted for each order received. The fulfillment capacity is published as an availability to promise. Orders are prioritized using the availability to promise. Orders are then processed for shipment shipped based on the prioritization.
