ALLOCATION LOGIC
Best Price First,
Region by Requirement
Allocation is set at purchase time and uses live availability, not precomputed tables or post-hoc rules.
Best-price-first is the default routing path unless a hard constraint is specified up front.
When location is required, we route through sales to capture constraints and maintain deliverability.
REGION CONSTRAINTS
Region Constraints are a Separate Path
Use the region-constraint path
When location affects governance, procurement, or rollout decisions.
Pricing-first when optional
If region is optional, pricing-first allocation is appropriate.
Route required regions via sales
Constraints are captured explicitly when location is required.
