What is Distributed Order Management?
A Distributed Order Management system serves as a powerful hub that enables Omnichannel commerce, integrates the extended supply chain, optimizes inbound and outbound order routing, provides real-time network inventory visibility, allocation and management, automates complex channel and customer requirements and maximizes profitability while meeting customer service commitments.
DOM is, in fact, something of a Swiss Army knife of capabilities and becoming the central force of the supply chain execution ecosystem.

DOM Fundamentals
§ Real-time visibility to inventory, order execution capacities and constraints across an extended
network
§ “Orchestration” of order fulfillment. What does this really mean? Orchestration involves
applying an automated set of dynamic rules to each order so that it is executed precisely
according to the desired business logic.
§ A rules engine foundation that executes configured business strategies based on order
fulfillment policies
§ Connectivity to other internal and external systems
§ Automation of order handling processes
§ Flexibility to fulfill orders based on that real-time visibility

DOM Use Cases
9
DOM Use Cases – Optimal Order Sourcing§ Sourcing
1. Postal Code (3-digit) or State Code or User defined
2. 100% inventory availability at the selected node
3. Check the next best location for 100% inventory availability
4. Inventory (100%) not available at any of the node - Split the Order
5. Back Order Management based on Retailer
6. Freight Cost based sourcing
7. DC Capacity
§ Omnichannel
1. Store sourcing based on BOPIS or SFS or STZ enabled
§ Exception Handling
1. Ship Method (Pickup from Store) only processed from DC A if Store doesn’t have the inventory
2. Gift Orders can’t be split
3. Kit Orders can’t be split
