What are Loading Rules – MagicLogic

Overview

The Loading Rules tab in Cube-IQ provides options that control how products are assigned and arranged in containers during optimization.

Load proportionally – Distributes products evenly across containers rather than filling one at a time.
One Container per sequence number – Keeps all products with the same sequence number in a single container.
Interpret Product sequence as ‘priority’ – Loads lower sequence numbers first, treating them as higher priority.
Product seq. is Container seq. – Matches product sequence numbers directly to container sequence numbers.
Treat Groups as Sets – Ensures all grouped products stay in the same container.
Load full stacks only – Loads only complete stacks or layers, no partial stacks.
Override Settings (dropdown) – Applies predefined or custom override profiles for load behavior.
Selection rule for multiple Containers – Determines how items are assigned to containers (i.e. Best fill, First fit).
Splitting Groups over Containers is – Controls whether product groups can be split across containers.
Finish each Product sequence – Decides if a sequence must be completed in one container or can be split.
Maximum # of Sequence to look ahead – Sets how many future sequences are considered during optimization.
# Staging positions – Number of positions available for staging before loading.
