Allocation

Allocation displays the recommended allocations. Allocation type order recommendations can result from various inventory calculations but act differently than a Transfer. A transfer is expected to be executed on as soon as it is exported to MFCS, whereas an allocation acts to ‘reserve’ inventory as it becomes available. Executing on the inventory movement does not begin before a specified release date and the warehouse will wait until the inventory is available—often tied to the arrival of a specific PO.

Use the Allocation review screen to review allocations created to cross-dock POs through a warehouse.

In Allocation view click an allocation to see more details, and override the recommended quantity.
