Standard Allocations and Shipping Life Cycle
This illustration is the first of two suggested process sequences of master data for the Allocations and Shipping module, based on information that flows from one master table to another and prerequisites that need to be completed. Optional steps are noted as such.
Allocate Finished Goods
Allocations reserve inventory so it is not allocated to other sales orders, RMA issue lines, intersite requests, or work orders
Also used to control shipment quantities when there are not enough items to fill all orders
