Auto Allocate Sales Orders Where Enough Stock

Functionality:

When selected, the system will only allocate stock to Sales Orders that can be completely filled.

If the entire Sales Order cannot be filled, no allocation will occur.

 

Note:

Allocated stock will not be overridden. To make changes, you must use the "Reset All Allocations" option.

 

Auto Allocate Oldest First

Functionality:

Allocate available quantities to the oldest orders first.

If quantities are filled in the "On Order Allocated" column, these will be considered.

 

Example:

If the oldest order's "Quantity Left To Invoice" is 30 and the "On Order Allocated" column has 10, then SI+ will only allocate 20 (20 + 10 = 30).

To prevent this, use the "Reset All Allocations" menu option or the SI+ "Set 0" buttons on the form.

Note:

You can use the Reset All Allocations option to reset all quantities allocated.

You can use the SET 0 button to reset individual items.

 

Reset All Allocations

This option will zero all stock already allocated as well as On Order Allocated

Stock Needing Allocation Explained

Combined allocation needed.

Stock quantities and On Order quantities added up together. In the example above SOH=231 and On Order =8 (239 in total). You have allocated only 0 items and 0 On Order items . Thus SOH + On order = 239 and you have allocated 0  Thus you can still allocate 239 (231+8)

 

Please make sure that there are no negative amounts in the Combined Allocation Needed column. You can filter for negative amounts. Change the Stock Allocated and/or On Order Allocated.
