Allocations in SAP Retail Store
Use
This function enables you to display allocation tables for specific stores and enter replies within SAP Retail Store. It is used for the following purposes:
As a result, the head office does not have to provide information about the allocations in writing or using IDocs (allocation table notifications).
You can make changes as long as the confirmation date is not exceeded. As a result, the store does not have to inform the head office of its requested quantities in writing or using IDocs. This also provides the store with an easy way of changing requested quantities that have already been entered, and as a result quickly react to any changes that may have been made to planning data.
