Hi,

Consignment is mainly used for shipment purpose. Let say consumer orderd 5 qty. ERP as a backend, it has shipped only 3 qty for the user.

Allocation is respect to a product, where some amount of qty is allocated to be ordered / could be added to cart for user.

Hi Nagarjuna,

If you go through the code base, you will find your 'customfulfillmentprocess 'extension has orderSplitAction defined. Once, Payment is done ,this action is called. This file uses orderSplittingService, which in turn calls DefaultConsignmentService for order split.

Now, if you use hybris OMS, the logic is different for Order Split. It is more realistic and apply strategy for order split . So, this uses DefaultAllocationService, to split the order based on sourcing location (OOB). You can implement your own strategy here to achieve your requirement.

Cut short, Hybris OMS is extended implementation for your fulfillment process template.

Thanks, Siddharth
