Procurement Rule where the sourcing template is only based on distance

Burberry has been trialling some distance-based procurement rules, but they are additionally tagged to work with an Idle Asset. There rules didn't work for Burberry because of the Idle Asset element, so a PMR (TS007533704) was raised.


Recommendation from Product team was to raise a New Idea request.


Burberry don't believe the Idle Asset element is a use case that works in our environment and therefore are requesting that distance-based rules work in a standard node/product scenario.


Attached document contains the configuration we have trialled using the Idle Asset approach and our request of the rule we'd like to see made available.


What is your industry? Retail
How will this idea be used?

To implement distance-based procurement correctly.
