Allocations Pop-Up
If you enter Yes in the Allocate field, the pop-up window illustrated in
Allocations Pop-Up Window (11.11.1) displays. The values in these three fields default from corresponding fields in Material Order Control. You manage other aspects of allocations through Sales Order Control settings.

Allocations Pop-Up Window (11.11.1)
Consume Forecast
Defaults from the Consume Forecast field in Material Order Control. If Yes, MOs consume forecast in the same way as sales orders. When you enter an MO, the system decreases available quantity in the sales forecast for the item by the MO quantity.
Allocate MO Lines Due in Days
Defaults from the same field in Material Order Control. Specifies the number of days into the future to allocate MOs.
Use allocations to control shipments, especially in shortage situations. When you enter an MO, the system compares the order quantity to the quantity available to allocate. If there is a shortage, the order cannot be filled. The system tries to allocate available inventory only to line items due within the number of days specified here, giving you more control over the process.
Detail Allocations
The value for this field defaults from the Detail Allocations field in Material Order Control. Yes indicates that detail allocations are normally made during MO line entry. Enter No if detail allocations are not normally entered on the MO. The value specified on the header sets the default value on each MO line item. You can change it item by item.
Note: Even if this field is Yes on the MO header, it automatically changes to No for EMT line items. You cannot change it manually. The system automatically allocates EMT items to the MO when they are received from the supplier.
