Performing Manual Allocations

To perform manual allocations:

  1. Enter a sales order using Sales Order Entry (P4210 or P42101).

    Note: The Activate Availability Checking processing option on the Commitment tab of the Sales Order Entry program (P4210) is blank so that the system does not check availability of the style items on the order.
  2. Calculate the quantities to be allocated for each order manually when stock is available.

  3. Run the Shipment Confirmation program (P4205) to hard commit the allocated quantity calculated manually for each order.

  4. Run the Print Pick Slip program (R42520) to pick the quantities for each sales order.

  5. Run the Shipment Confirmation program to perform the shipment confirmation.

    Note: The version of the Shipment Confirmation program that is run to perform ship confirm is a different version from the one that is run to hard commit the quantities to the orders. You use different versions of the Shipment Confirmation program for the hard commit and ship confirm processes as the processing option settings may differ for each business process.
