Request notifications inform the sites about planned goods receipts, enabling them to inform head office of any special requests in terms of the quantities and articles they wish to receive and when.

A request notification contains information on the articles and quantities in the stock split and when they are to be delivered, as well as any short texts. It comprises data grouped together from one or more allocation table for a particular site.

The sites check their requirements and inform head office of the quantities they require and when. When a site requests a quantity of zero, this means that they do not wish to have the article at all.

If a request notification was created, you can configure your system so that follow-on documents can only be generated for the allocation table type after the quantities requested by the sites and those confirmed by the head office have been entered in the allocation table.
