Allocation table notifications inform distribution centers about future planned goods receipts. These are for information purposes only. The distribution centers have no way of notifying head office about any differing requirements (in terms of the articles and quantities they wish to receive and when).

Data is grouped together from one or more allocation table for a particular distribution center and passed onto the distribution centers in the form of the allocation table notification for distribution centers. An allocation table notification for distribution centers contains information on the articles and quantities in the stock split and when they are to be delivered, as well as any short texts.

The data contained in allocation table notifications for distribution centers is data aggregated across all the sites supplied by the distribution center.
