Classification: IMPORTANT
We have introduced a new priority-based allocation allocation model that aligns inventory commitment with demand certainty.
Previously, the allocation logic of the system treated quotes and orders equally, assigning inventory based solely on rental date periods regardless of commitment level. This resulted inventory being prematurely reserved for low-certainty demand, thereby blocking availability for confirmed business.
With this enhancement, quotes are assigned low priority to keep stock visible but not blocked. Orders are assigned standard priority and are prioritized over quote allocations. The system automatically reclaims inventory from quotes when needed, resolving conflicts during quote-to-order conversions. Confirmed orders therefore always take precedence unless a quote has been explicitly prioritized or tied to specific equipment.
This enhancement ensures that inventory remains flexible until revenue is secured, while automatically protecting confirmed business.
