Fair Distribution
The fair distribution function in Trace reallocates limited stock between already reserved order lines when demand exceeds available inventory. A scheduled distribution job identifies shortages and redistributes stock based on line priority. Priority is determined by how early the order line was registered relative to the pick date and the configured priority thresholds. This helps ensure that scarce goods are allocated in a structured and fair way.
