# GS1 Pallet Bay Calculator

[![Tests](https://github.com/gs1-germany/palletBayCalculator/actions/workflows/github-actions-npm-build.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/gs1-germany/palletBayCalculator/actions/workflows/github-actions-npm-build.yml)

This is a software prototype based on a heuristic for calculating the number of required pallet bays for an order of trade items. The underlying guideline was developed by a GS1 Germany working group.

## Demo

An interactive demo is available [here](https://gs1-germany.github.io/palletBayCalculator).

### Illustrative Example

Imagine you (or your customer) have ordered the following trade items:

- 356 bottles of Shower Gel
- 362 bottles of Shampoo
- 366 bottles of Conditioner

#### Objective

Determine the number of pallet bays needed to efficiently transport these items per truck. This tool assists your company in making calculations to optimise truck utilisation.

#### Usage

For each trade item, provide the following information:

1. **Trade items per original pallet:** How many bottles fit on one full pallet.
2. **Trade item per pallet layer:** How many bottles fit on one pallet layer.
3. **Ordered trade item quantity:** The quantity of bottles ordered.

Additionally, specify two transport parameters:

4. **Double-deck equipment:** Indicate if there is a bilateral agreement for double-deck equipment.
5. **Trade items stackable/double-deck capable:** Specify if two pallets with this product can be stacked on top of each other.

All necessary details, except for ordered quantity and bilateral agreement as to double-deck equipment, should be accessible in the trade item’s master data file (e.g., provided through GDSN).

For instance, for the shower gel, the master data file may include the following data:

- 60 trade items per original pallet
- 10 trade items per pallet layer
- trade items are stackable

Further, the company may agreed double-deck equipment. Therefore, for this order position, the user can tick both checkboxes:

After clicking 'Add another order position', the tool determines the required pallet bays (in this case, 4), and is ready for the next order position, if required:

#### Source Code

You are welcome to integrate the source code on which this online demo is based into your own business application.

## Algorithm
