Understanding Allocation Proposals

You run the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program to generate allocation proposals. Allocation proposals enable you to distribute available stock among several sales orders if product shortages exist.

The system stores allocation proposal information in the FCW43 and FCW44 tables.

The Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program is capable of handling four decimal positions.

The report for the Generate Allocation and Delivery Proposals program (RCW06) does not print any information, nor does the report send any messages to the work center. If the report encounters an invalid data selection, then the No Data Selected message prints on the report.

The Create Allocation and Delivery Proposal Lists program (RCW09) generates a report for a allocations.

Note: Sales order detail lines with a W (work order) line type are excluded from the allocation proposal process. Work order line types are fulfilled when their associated work orders are completed.
