Make general requests based on amount of asset, not specific items, for forecasting
We have thousands of serialized assets and it would be great if requests could be made based on amount rather than individual items.
E.g. A sales rep wants 5 Ticket Printers for a client by December 10th. It would be nice if they could just ask for 5 printers, rather than selecting specific items. Then my fulfillment team would assign which serialized items they get once they fulfill and ship the request (e.g. We shipped Ticket Printer #2002, 2003, 2004 and 2005.)
This would allow us to see how many Ticket Printers are being requested in December, without promising which items we will actually be shipping i.e. forecasting.
We’ve been caught up in some more basic customer requests. But this is in our mid term queue (~April/June).
