Abstract
The present invention is a method and system for building and improving inventory load configurations, and displaying the built load configurations to allow review of the load configurations. One embodiment of the invention comprises designating a portion of the inventory as priority units, creating a current destination seed list, creating a current inventory seed list, selecting a current seed destination from the current destination seed list, building a current load by selecting a current seed unit from the current inventory seed list, adding priority units to be delivered to the current seed destination and then saving the developed load configuration as one of the plurality of load configurations. A system according to the present invention comprises a computer; software running on the computer for building the loads from an inventory at a terminal; and an inventory distribution graphical user interface (gui), generated by the software on a display, for viewing inventory distribution information.
