Comments

The quantity to be allocated to an order line or shipment request is always equal to the quantity already allocated to the order line. To increase or decrease the quantity to be allocated, it is sufficient to increase or decrease this quantity.

This parameter is used, when set to Yes, to always reinitialize the quantity to be allocated to the total quantity that must be allocated to the order line. If the order line is either always to be allocated (or an attempt is to be systematically carried out, after modification of the quantity concerned) without the operator being involved or having the opportunity to modify this quantity, it will be sufficient to set this parameter to Yes and to make the Quantity to be allocated field inaccessible to the user by parameterizing the order entry transaction.
