| Introduction for Inventory Allocation |
|
Inventory Allocation is used to allocate (reserve) quantities of existing items in stock or future Purchase Order deliveries to a Work Order or Project. This allocation prevents issuing the quantity reserved to any other use except the Work Order or Project specified. The allocation of existing inventory may be removed by un-allocation. Purchase Order Line Item allocations may be removed prior to receipt of the parts by editing the Purchase Order. After receipt of parts allocated by Purchase Order, the allocation may only be removed after the parts are in stock.
The Inventory Allocation module is designed to Add or Change an allocation of a particular part for a specific work order or Project. In essence, this feature will “reserve” the quantity specified for a particular Work Order or Project.
The user may find an existing allocation or add a new one. Also, the user may delete an existing allocation, thus freeing the quantity up for other Work Orders or Projects.
User cannot allocate from WO-WIP locations. If we were to allow you to allocate parts from WO-WIP to a different work order, you would be unable to close the original work order. If you want to allocate parts that are in WO-WIP, you will need to return the parts to the store room, then allocate. |
