SIP Should Honor Units per Order Constraints for Sourcing Recommendations

Description:
In real-world fulfillment scenarios, different nodes (e.g., distribution centers) often have operational constraints, such as the number of order lines or total units they can efficiently handle. Currently, SIP does not appear to consider such constraints when recommending sourcing nodes.

 

Proposal: SIP should incorporate node-level constraints — such as "maximum units per order" or "maximum lines per order" — into its sourcing logic. For example, if DC1 cannot process orders with more than 5 lines, SIP should automatically exclude DC1 from being considered for such orders and instead recommend the next most efficient node that can fulfill the order within constraints.
