FEFO putaway: largest empty bin chosen · case 01

Small receipts consume the largest empty bins far from the pick face.

Verified by executionVariant 1 · 8 checks per implementationDownload source bundle ↓JSON ↗

ROOT CAUSE

Empty bins are ranked by capacity descending instead of distance.

VERIFIED REPAIR

Choose the nearest empty bin that can hold the receipt, then bin id.

Unsuccessful approach: Ranking empty bins by id alone ignores travel distance.

Case contract

bins [[bin, sku|None, lot, expiry_day, qty, capacity, distance]]; receipt [sku, lot, expiry_day, qty]. A bin is empty when sku is None or qty is 0. Preference: (1) non-empty bin with same sku and lot and room (capacity-qty >= receipt qty), nearest then id; (2) same sku, different lot, expiry within 30 days either way, room; smallest expiry gap, nearest, id; (3) empty bin with capacity >= qty, nearest then id; else "HOLD".

Why this case matters

FEFO storage keeps lots with similar expiry together so the earliest expiring stock ships first.

Verification & scope

Stipulated day-number expiries and a single receipt; no quarantine or multi-bin splits. This reproducer isolates one failure mechanism. Results cover the supplied fixtures. Variants within a family share a test contract and should remain grouped when constructing evaluation splits. Related mechanisms with a shared evaluation_group must also remain together; these controlled models are not independent production incidents.
