Saturday Service

RIS-RM-1025 SaturdayService

The Saturday Service application features a macro that operates within the Rules Engine as an action. This macro is designed to automatically assign the Saturday Service to open orders if their delivery date falls on a Saturday. Typically configured as a rules macro, it populates the service with the Saturday Service specified in the preset macro configuration.

This guide provides a step-by-step explanation of how to install and set up the macro in Linnworks.

Functionality:

1. Parameter Input:

   • OrderIds: List of OrderIds representing the open orders to be checked for Saturday delivery.

   • serviceName: Name or identifier of the service to be assigned (in this case, the Saturday Service).

2. Rules Engine Integration:

   • The macro integrates seamlessly within the Rules Engine, allowing it to be invoked based on predefined conditions or scheduled intervals.

3. Date Evaluation:

   • For each order in the provided list (OrderIds), the macro examines the delivery date.

   • If the delivery date falls on a Saturday, the macro proceeds to assign the Saturday Service to that order.

4. Service Assignment:

   • The macro automatically populates the service field with the specified Saturday Service, as configured in the preset macro settings.

5. Logging and Error Handling:

   • The macro incorporates logging mechanisms to record its actions, ensuring transparency and facilitating troubleshooting in case of errors.

Usage:

• Parameters:

  • OrderIds: List of OrderIds representing open orders to be evaluated for Saturday delivery.

  • serviceName: Name or identifier of the service to be assigned (e.g., "Saturday Service").

• Execution:

  • The macro is configured to operate within the Rules Engine, either triggered by specific conditions or scheduled to run at defined intervals.

  • Upon execution, it takes the list of OrderIds and the service name as input parameters.

  • The macro evaluates each order's delivery date and, if it falls on a Saturday, assigns the Saturday Service to the order.

• Outcome:

  • Orders with delivery dates falling on Saturdays are automatically assigned the Saturday Service.

  • This automated process ensures that orders scheduled for Saturday delivery are appropriately flagged and processed using the designated service.

  • Administrators can monitor the macro's actions through logging, facilitating oversight and ensuring the correct assignment of services.
