Common Terms Used in This Chapter

Calculated for both sales order headers and sales order detail lines. The calculation takes into account both selected and nonselected lines.

The calculation corresponds to the ordered quantity minus the canceled quantity for lines with a next status (before these lines were processed by the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program (RCW06)) that is less than or equal to the value of the Next Status Code Thru processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program. As a result:

If the Processing Type processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to P for allocation proposal, then the not processed quantity corresponds to the quantity that was never allocated.
If the Processing Type processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to D for delivery proposal, then the not processed quantity corresponds to the quantity that was never proposed for deliveries.

Calculated for sales order detail lines only.

The calculation corresponds to the ordered quantity for lines with a next status (before these lines were processed by the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program) that is in the range defined by the Next Status Code From and Next Status Code Thru processing options on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program. As a result:

If the Processing Type processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to P for allocation proposal, then the open quantity corresponds to the quantity that is ready for allocation.
If the Processing Type processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to D for delivery proposal, then the open quantity corresponds to the quantity that is ready for delivery proposals.

Calculated for sales order headers only and corresponds to the initial ordered quantity.

The calculation does not include sales order detail lines and does not depend on the order line statuses. Canceled lines are not taken into account.

Calculated for sales order headers only.

The calculation of the processed quantity is ordered quantity minus open quantity.

The calculation of processed quantity corresponds to quantities that passed the step of allocation or delivery proposal processing during a previous processing cycle.

Calculated for both sales order headers and sales order detail lines.

The calculation of proposed quantity is open quantity multiplied by the sprinkling rate, where the sprinkling rate is one of the following values:

If the Fair Share processing option on the Conditions tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to Y to activate fair share processing, then the sprinkling rate corresponds to the ratio (total available quantity / total open quantity) where the sum is made taking into account all extracted sales order lines. The system calculates fair share for each item and not each sales order line.
If the Fair Share processing option on the Conditions tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to N to deactivate Fair Share processing, then the program uses the value of the Sprinkling Rate processing option on the Conditions tab. If the Sprinkling Rate processing option is left blank, then the proposed quantity is equal to the open quantity. The proposed quantity is calculated for selected sales order detail lines only as defined by the data selection and the Next Status Code From and Next Status Code Thru processing options on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program.

Note: If you enable both fair share and sprinkling rate processing, then the system performs calculations using fair share and ignores the sprinkling rate.

Note: Fair share and sprinkling rate processing are valid for allocation proposals only. The delivery proposal algorithm does not use fair share or sprinkling rate processing.

Calculated for both sales order headers and sales order detail lines. The system:

Sorts sales orders according to the priority rules as defined in the Priority Commitment Rule processing option on the Priority Rule tab.
Determines the proposed quantity.
Compares the proposed quantity to the available quantity if the Processing Type processing option on the Status tab of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is set to P.

The minimum quantity from the comparison of the proposed quantity to the available quantity is processed for other constraints such as satisfaction rate and top/bottom management.
Applies various constraints, such as satisfaction rates and top/bottom balancing, as defined in the processing options of the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program.

The result, which is the quantity present in the allocation and delivery proposals, is the retained quantity.
