Use

You can create an allocation table referencing a shipping notification, a purchase order or a contract.

Prerequisites

When creating a purchase order item, you can specify in the additional data whether the item is relevant for distribution, i.e. for an allocation table. This information is passed on to the shipping notification item referencing the order item. This information is required for an allocation table to be created referencing a shipping notification or a purchase order. The field controls how merchandise is processed in the distribution center. Cross-docking and flow-through, for example, can be implemented in Merchandise Distribution.

When you create an allocation table referencing a contract, the processing method is not determined until the allocation table is created.

Procedure

  1. On the Create Allocation Table: Initial Screen enter an allocation table type and the required organizational data. Then choose Allocation table ® Create with reference ® To shipping notification or To purchase order.

A dialog box appears.

  1. Enter the number of the reference document. You can also have the system search for the reference documents by entering the appropriate selection criteria.

Choose Execute.

The individual items of the reference document appear.

  1. Select the required items and adopt these in the allocation table.

By adopting this data, certain data in the allocation table is automatically maintained (such as the articles, the sources of supply, or the delivery data in the distribution center) and can no longer be changed. To complete the allocation table, you must at least enter the receiving sites and the planned quantities and delivery dates. If you wish, you can also maintain other control parameters (such as the notification category or how remaining quantities should be allocated) and texts.

You can add further items to the allocation table referencing a document at any time on the item overview screen by choosing Allocation table ® Create with reference.
