Retail (IS-R)

When stock of a particular material is constantly divided up among certain plants or base plant groups of a company in the same relative proportions, these proportions can be captured in an allocation rule.

The proportions can be in the form of ratios, percentages or fixed quantities.

Allocation rules can be used to:

• Create allocation tables
• Divide plants into categories (e.g. best/worst analysis)
• Define ratios based on the Retail Information System (e.g. previous month's sales)
