Allocations

• Storage site (field STOFCY)

You must specify which storage site you wish to use for the allocations inquiry.

• From product (field ITMREFSTR)

Entering these fields is not mandatory. They are used to limit the display of allocations to a product or a range of products.

• To product (field ITMREFEND)

• From entry no. (field VCRNUMSTR)

Entering these fields is not mandatory. Use them to limit the display of allocations to one document or a range of documents.

• To entry no. (field VCRNUMEND)

• Requirement start date (field STRDATSTR)

Entering these fields is not mandatory. They are used to limit the display of allocations to those whose requirement date falls in a given period.

 Important note about filtering allocations by requirement date:

The requirement date used to filter the allocation display is contained in the WIP table (ORDERS).In the particular case of the delivery requests, the From requirement end date corresponds to the date of creation of the delivery request and the To requirement end date corresponds to the shipment date planned.If the entered shipment date is inferior to the creation date of the line, the requirement end date is then assigned to the creation date as it cannot be inferior.

The requirement date displayed in the allocation grid corresponds to the actual shipment date.
Allocations can sometimes not be selected even though the displayed requirement date corresponds to the entered date range.This occurs when the shipment date entered in the delivery request is inferior to the creation date of the request.Conversely, allocations can appear even though the selected requirement date does not cover the allocation.

Example :

Delivery request created on 19/05/2015 with a shipment date set to 13/05/2015
The delivery request is allocated.In the ORDERS table, the From requirement end date is 19/05/2015 and the To requirement end date is 19/05/2015.
In allocations inquiry:
-With a requirement date set to 19/05/2015, the allocation relating to the delivery request appears.
-With a requirement inquiry on the 13/05/2015, the allocation is not displayed.

• Requirement end date (field STRDATEND)

The type of document (sales order, delivery, work order) is preloaded according to the module from which the inquiry is called (Sales or Manufacturing). It cannot be modified. It is used to filter the allocations to inquire by type of allocated document.

• Product (field ITMREF)

This field indicates the product reference code. It is generated by a sequence number counter (set up in function Sequence number counters) in the case when the product category has a sequence number counter code.

The reference cannot be modified. It is automatically assigned and displayed when the product creation is complete.

• Description (field ITMDES1)

This field displays the quantity allocated to the order line.

• Physical quantity (field QTYSTU)

If the entered quantity is not a multiple of the order unit, a warning message will be displayed. By default the minimum purchase quantity or the quantity of considered requirements is suggested. Under no circumstances the quantity entered is lower than these quantities.

This quantity can be modified if the order unit entered is a packing unit for the product where the factor can be modified (see the packing unit grid in the Units tab in the Product record), but it is not accessible for the other units (Purchase unit of the product, Purchase unit defined for the supplier, Packing unit for the supplier, Stock unit).

If the quantity in stock unit is modified, the factor expressed between the order unit and the purchase unit will be adjusted.
