Use

You can have the system automatically generate different follow-on documents for the quantities entered in the allocation table. This enables delivery of goods to be triggered. For each component in the supply chain, the system creates entries in a separate worklist.

The worklist created and updated by the allocation table can be considered as a collection of line items from different allocation tables that have been released for follow-on document generation. A worklist can be processed online or in the background.

You can generate the following documents for an allocation table using a worklist:

The order type in this case is "standard purchase order".

A standard purchase order is used for cross-company code transactions. Stock transport orders are used within the same company code.

Deliveries are generated without reference to a preceding document. These deliveries have the delivery type "delivery without reference or goods receipt " (LO) or "delivery without reference, with goods receipt" (UL).

Sales orders for customers (with no reference to a site) and sales orders for sites can be created.

Integration

After the goods receipt has been posted, and the distribution data adjusted in line with the goods receipt, follow-on documents are then processed by Merchandise Distribution functions. This involves deliveries or distribution orders being generated for warehouse orders. Deliveries are also released for picking.

The system does not require any distribution data to map transactions involving direct deliveries (third-party) and allocations out of warehouse stock. No distribution data is created in these cases and the follow-on documents are not blocked. This is not the case with allocation table items, however, that were created referencing shipping notifications or purchase orders. These allocation table items are still, however, created with an assignment to merchandise distribution data. For further information, see Merchandise Distribution.
