Flexible methods and apparatus for automatically assigning storage locations as part of an inventory allocation request satisfaction process are described. In various embodiments inventory allocation request processing templates are used to facilitate the allocation of storage locations to satisfy one or more lines of an inventory allocation request. A client, which sends assignment resource allocation requests, can specify storage allocation constraints and/or preferences in a template. The template corresponding to the client is retrieved and the policy or constraints in the template are applied as part of the storage location assignment process. Clients can easily make changes to their templates allowing for customization of storage location assignments without the need for a detailed understanding of the physical layout of a storage site such as a warehouse. Custom inventory allocation request processing templates can be easily created by a customer modifying a default template to create a custom template.
