 Important note about filtering allocations by requirement date:

The requirement date used to filter the allocation display is in the WIP table (ORDERS). For delivery requests, the Requirement start date corresponds to the date the delivery request was created and the Requirement end date to the planned shipment date. If the entered shipment date is earlier than the creation date of the line, the Requirement end date is assigned to the creation date.

The Requirement date displayed in the Allocations table (STOALL) corresponds to the actual shipment date.
Allocations sometimes cannot 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 earlier than the date the delivery request was created. Conversely, allocations can display even though the selected requirement date does not cover the allocation.

For example:

Delivery request created on May 19 with a shipment date set to May 13.
The delivery request is allocated. In the ORDERS table, the Requirement start date is May 19 and the Requirement end date is May 19.
With a requirement date set to May 19, the allocation relating to the delivery request displays.
With a requirement date set to May 13, the allocation does not display.
