Production and capacity

warning

This article is under review. The information in the article is mostly obsolete and refer to already removed configurations. Do not use information in this article without active communication with Future Ordering.

note

These articles use the stores import formats to describe stores, most important for producers of the store data (e.g. POS system integration creating stores). Since a store can contain tenant-specific extensions, use the Stores schema endpoints in your specific tenant to understand details on consuming store data.

production defines how order load is scheduled and limited for a store.

It combines slot duration, an order cost estimator, and capacity schedules that are evaluated with conditions.

Production fields

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
timeslotDuration	string	Yes	Duration of one production slot in ISO-8601 format.	"PT10M"
orderCostEstimator	object	Yes	Defines how an order consumes capacity.	{ "type": "PointsPerOrder" }
capacity	array	Yes	Ordered capacity rules with conditions and schedules.	See Capacity rules

Order cost estimator

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
type	string	Yes	How order cost is calculated. Allowed values: PointsPerOrder, OrderBasketPoints.	"PointsPerOrder"

• PointsPerOrder is typically used for slot-time based production planning.
• OrderBasketPoints is typically used for promise-time based planning.

Capacity rules

Each capacity entry has conditions and a schedule.

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
conditions	array	Yes	One or more conditions that must all match. Uses the same condition model as opening hours.	[{ "type": "specificdates", "dates": ["2026-06-05"] }]
schedule	array	Yes	One or more time intervals and their slot capacity.	[{ "from": "00:00", "to": "00:00", "toNextDay": true, "capacityPerTimeslot": 200 }]

Condition types are documented in Opening hours.

Capacity schedule fields

Field	Type	Required	Description	Example
from	string(HH:mm)	Yes	Start time for the capacity interval.	"10:00"
to	string(HH:mm)	Yes	End time for the capacity interval.	"14:00"
toNextDay	boolean	No	When true, to is interpreted as next day.	false
capacityPerTimeslot	integer	No	Max capacity available per slot in this interval.	200
