Warehouse backlog adjustments

This article describes the concept of warehouse backlog adjustments and how to adapt the delivery time shown in Ingrid Delivery Checkout to any delivery delays.

What is Warehouse backlog adjustment?

This is a feature that makes it possible to make all carrier products connected to a warehouse indicate an increased number of days of delivery time. The logic of the feature is to instruct Ingrid Delivery Logic to start calculating any delivery offering connected to this warehouse as a set of days in the future. When feature is active Ingrid Delivery Logic will as always:

• Find next cut off date and time for each carrier product
• Add Warehouse Backlog Adjustment to that shipping date and time
• Then ask each Carrier product for a delivery time promise  based on this adjusted date and time
• Present result in Delivery Checkout
