Allocation: Listing Check in Allocation Tables
Use
The listing check enables you to only include sites in an allocation table item if the article in the item is listed in the site. You can display listing errors in the logs generated by allocation tables. You can also trigger automatic listing of articles without having to leave the allocation table.
Prerequisites
The system checks if an article in an allocation table item is listed if you have configured the listing flag in the item to this effect. The listing indicator selected determines how the system checks the listing. In Customizing for allocation table types, you can define a default value for the listing indicator.
Features
The following functions are available for the listing check:
The system makes no listing check. In this case the allocation table is saved with no error messages and released for follow-on document generation.
If you have the system determine the sites in an allocation table item using an allocation rule or a site group, the system also includes sites in the allocation table item in which the article in the item is not listed.
You can run the listing check online, but the system automatically runs the check whenever you save an allocation table. The listing is checked for each site or distribution center at schedule line level. The system checks if the article is listed on the delivery date.
Non-listings lead to error messages in the incompleteness and listing log. The allocation table items involved are not released for follow-on document generation.
The system not only checks the listing but enables you to list missing articles.
If you have the system determine the sites in an allocation table item using an allocation rule or a site group, the system only includes sites in the allocation table item in which the article in the item is listed.
If you add additional sites manually, these are always included in the allocation table item, independently of whether the article in the item is listed in the sites.
