Allocations Subtask

Use the Allocations subtask to allocate the MO build quantities to multiple inventory abbreviations.

Allocations are used 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 Configure Production Control Settings screen, you can use to add a new build-to inventory abbreviation. Inventory Abbreviations can be assigned 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 on the Manage 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.
