Product request on customer or product relocation
If a customer requests a product from a shop or shopping center and then changes to another at a later date, you must decide how the existing request should be handled. The same applies if a product is moved to another shelf after the request. In both cases, One Identity Manager checks whether the request recipient and the product belong to the same new shop after relocating.

Closed requests are not changed.
If the request recipient and the product belong to the same shop after relocating, the Retain service item assignment on relocation option controls whether the request is canceled or retained.

NOTE: The request is realized in the shop in which the request recipient is customer and that contains the requested product. If several shelves or shops are found to which the condition applies, One Identity Manager selects one of the shelves or shop, respectively, to relocate. |
