Generating Follow-On Documents For Allocation Tables Online

Procedure

On the Allocation Table Display: Initial Screen enter the allocation table number.

If you wish to generate follow-on documents for the complete allocation table proceed with the next step.

If you wish to generate follow-on documents for individual items in the allocation table, press ENTER. The item overview screen appears where you can select the items you want before proceeding to the next step.

Depending on the type of document you wish to generate, choose Allocation table ® Create follow-on documents ®

Vendor order (for generating purchase orders placed with external vendors)

Warehouse order (for generating purchase orders with the distribution center)

Sales order (for generating sales orders)

Delivery (for generating deliveries from the distribution center to the stores)

The relevant items are displayed automatically.

Select the line items from the list for which you want to generate follow-on documents and choose Generate documents.

In the selected lines in the basic list a traffic light symbol appears which displays the generation status. By double-clicking on the document number, you branch to the document created.

You can then select further items to generate further follow-on documents.

Note

If the item category is configured in such a way that items can be grouped together in warehouse orders and purchase orders placed with external vendors and if the order items have the same order criteria (for example, the vendor or the order type), the system groups them together in the background (provided they are selected for the same generation run).

Delivery items that have the same shipping point are automatically grouped together by the system.

If you want to avoid items being grouped together, carry out the generation processes for these line items separately or enter splitting criteria.
