Resolving Conflicting Routing Assignments
Every internal routing assignment involves a transaction type, a site, and a warehouse. You can also specify an item number or an item type and an address. When you use these additional assignment options, there can be conflicts between different assignments.
Example: You could assign one internal routing for receipt of item ABC, and a different internal routing for receipts from the address for supplier XYZ. The system has to decide which internal routing to use when you have a receipt of item ABC from supplier XYZ.
In such situations, the system uses the following sequence to look for a match between the specified conditions:
 
1
Look for a match of both item number and address
2
Look for a match of both item type and address
3
Look for a match of item number only
4
Look for a match of item type only
5
Look for a match of address only
6
Use the specified transaction type, site, and warehouse—no other conditions
Using these rules, you can see that the internal routing for receipt of item ABC takes precedence over the internal routing for receipts from the address for supplier XYZ.
