Constraints#

A hard constraint must hold or the problem is infeasible; a soft one adds a penalty when broken.

Constraint	What it requires	Kind	On by default
Shopper Capacity `shopper_capacity`	Limit how many active orders can be assigned to the same shopper at once.	hard	Yes
Batch Window Capacity `window_capacity`	Keep batched orders inside the configured pickup / dispatch window.	hard	Yes
Store Cohesion `store_cohesion`	Prefer batches built from the same store or very tight origin clusters.	hard	Yes
Order In One Batch `order_in_one_batch`	An order is picked once: it may occupy at most one batch. Without this rule nothing bounded occupancy, and the improvement pass shipped 11 of the 100 demo orders in two batches while dropping 11 others.	hard	Yes
Priority Protection `priority_protection`	Protect urgent orders from being delayed by lower-priority batch additions.	soft	Yes
Regulatory Compliance `regulatory_compliance`	Disallow assignments that violate ZIP-level or region-level operating rules.	hard	Yes
