Allocation: Updates

Use

Work you do in allocation tables causes worklists to be updated from which follow-on documents can be generated. The system deletes the items in a worklist for which a follow-on document is generated. Information on the follow-on document generated is stored in the allocation table and in the relevant follow-on document.

Features
Updates in the Allocation Table After Follow-On Documents Have Been Created

If a follow-on document has been generated for at least one schedule line for a site, the document is given the status Created in the allocation table.

The site and item number of the last follow-on document generated is recorded at site level.

When a site places a purchase order directly with an external vendor, the quantity ordered and the document and item number created are reported back to the allocation table and stored there.

Updates in the Follow-On Document

The allocation table and item number are stored in the follow-on item document generated.

Due to the updating of the follow-on document number in the allocation table and the updating of the allocation table number in the follow-on document, a unique link is created between both documents.

Note

If a follow-on document is changed, this change is not updated in the allocation table.
