Find Routes with Fewest Splits Using OCI Action

In Salesforce Order Management, this core action finds the minimum number of fulfillment locations needed to complete an order by evaluating inventory availability across locations. When multiple combinations of locations can fulfill the order, this action returns multiple routing options. To limit the number of returned options, specify a maximum number of allowed location splits.

Required Editions

Available in: Lightning Experience
View supported editions.
This feature requires the Salesforce Order Management add-on. To purchase, contact your Salesforce account executive.

This action combines the Omnichannel Inventory Get Availability action and the Order Management Find Routes with Fewest Splits action. Instead of calling Get Availability and including the output in the Find Routes with Fewest Splits input, call this action and specify a location or location group to fulfill each ordered product.

By default, this action runs up to 1,000,000 times, stopping when it hits 10,000 results. This action handles the inventory check.

In Flow Builder, add an Action element to your flow. Select the Order Management category, and search for Find Routes With Fewest Splits Using OCI.

Note
Note Set the flow’s runtime API version to 54.0 or later.

Set Input Values

Use values from earlier in the flow to set the inputs.

Input Parameter Description
Find Routes With Fewest Splits Using OCI Input

This input is an Apex-defined variable of class ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIInputRepresentation.

The findRoutesWith​FewestSplits​UsingOCIInputs field is a list of Apex-defined variables of class ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewest​SplitsGroupUsingOCI​InputRepresentation. Each of the variables represents one order and includes these fields:

  • excludeLocations —List of locations to exclude from the routing calculations.
  • maximumNumberOfSplits —Maximum allowable number of shipment splits. The action doesn’t return routing options that involve more than this number of splits.

    Each split represents an additional shipment. Specifying a maximum of 0 returns only locations that can fulfill the entire order in a single shipment. A maximum of 1 returns combinations of locations that can fulfill the order in one or two shipments, and so on.

  • orderedItems —A list of Apex-defined variables of class ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIItemInputRepresentation. Each of the variables represents an ordered product quantity to fulfill and a location or location group, and includes these fields:
    • locationGroup​Identifier —External reference ID of the inventory location or location group.
    • quantity —Ordered quantity of the product.
    • stockKeepingUnit —Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) of the product.

Store Output Values

Use output values later in the flow.

Output Parameter Description
Find Routes With Fewest Splits Using OCI Output

This output is an Apex-defined variable of class ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIOutputRepresentation, which contains inventory availability data and the sets of fulfillment locations that meet the requirements.

The variable has one field: results. This field is a list of Apex-defined variables of class ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsWithInventoryOutputRepresentation, each of which represents the output for one order, and includes these fields:

  • inventory —Inventory availability data for the location groups and locations specified in the input.
  • targetLocations —A list of Apex-defined variables of class ConnectApi.AvailableLocationOutputRepresentation, each of which represents a set of fulfillment locations that can combine to fulfill the ordered products. Each of the variables includes one field locations. This field is a list of the locations in the set.

Usage

To set up the Find Routes With Fewest Splits Using OCI Input:

  • Use assignment elements to set the values for the locationGroup​Identifier, quantity, and stockKeepingUnit field values on one or more ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIItemInputRepresentation variables.
  • Use assignment elements to add the ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIItemInputRepresentation variables to the orderedItems field on a ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewest​SplitsGroupUsingOCI​InputRepresentation variable.
  • Optionally, use an assignment element to set the value for the maximumNumberOfSplits field on the ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewest​SplitsGroupUsingOCI​InputRepresentation variable.
  • Use an assignment element to add the ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewest​SplitsGroupUsingOCI​InputRepresentation variable to the findRoutesWith​FewestSplits​UsingOCIInputs field on a ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIInputRepresentation variable.
  • Repeat steps 1–4 for each order that you want to include in the action, adding the inputs to the same ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIInputRepresentation variable.
  • Use the ConnectApi.FindRoutesWithFewestSplitsUsingOCIInputRepresentation variable in the action input.
