ALLOCATIONS

Use this subtask to allocate the MO build quantities to multiple inventory abbreviations. You use allocations to identify where the finished parts on the MO are to be distributed. At least one allocation line (Allocation Inv Abbrev) per MO is required. Allocations are determined by allocated quantity, and the sum of allocated quantities must equal the build quantity of the MO.

If you selected the Allow Multiple Inv Abbrev Build-To Allocations for MOs check box in the Production Control Settings screen, use to add a new build-to inventory abbreviation. You can assign Inventory Abbreviations across multiple inventory projects only if you selected the Allowed with Other Projects option for the Inventory Project in the MO Allocations Across Projects group box in the Inventory Projects screen. If you attempt to add a new line and the Allowed with Other Projects option is not selected, and the Allocation Inv Abbrev contains a different inventory project than the previous line, the system displays an error message indicating that the project for this inventory abbreviation does not allow commingling with another project on an MO.

Table Window

Allocation Inv Abbrev

The inventory abbreviation in the Default Build-To field from the main screen displays on the first allocation line. You cannot modify this inventory abbreviation once charges have been applied to the MO or units have been completed against it. If you selected the Allow Multiple Inv Abbrev Build-To Allocations for MOs check box on the Configure Production Control Settings screen, use to add a new build-to inventory abbreviation. All such allocation projects must meet the inter-project issue restrictions for the subassembly and raw material inventory projects (as set up on the Manage Inventory Projects screen in Costpoint Inventory). The default build-to inventory abbreviation does not automatically load if you selected Customer Repair in the Type field on the main screen; you must manually enter an inventory abbreviation (having a G (GFM) Acct Type).

Inventory Abbreviation Name

This field displays the inventory abbreviation name.

Allocated Quantity

Enter the quantity of parts to be allocated to this inventory abbreviation. The sum of the allocated quantities must match the Build Qty field on the main screen.

Completed Allocation Quantity

This field displays the quantity of completed parts allocated to this inventory abbreviation.

Allocation Yield Quantity

This field displays the yield quantity allocated to this inventory abbreviation. If the Include Scrap/Yield % in Planning Process check box is selected in the Configure Production Control Settings screen, this field is calculated as (Allocated Quantity — Completed Quantity) * Yield. If the part is an MBOM assembly, its yield percentage is entered in the Assembly subtask on the Manage Manufacturing Bills of Material and/or Release Manufacturing Bills of Material screens in Costpoint Bills of Material. If the Include Scrap/Yield % in Planning Process check box is not selected, the Yield Quantity is the difference between Allocated Quantity and Completed Quantity.

Allocation Inventory Project

This field displays the project ID associated with the inventory abbreviation.

Proj Abbrev

This field displays the project abbreviation ID.

Project Name

This field displays the project name.

Netting Group

The netting group ID assigned to the project is displayed in this field.
