Use

You use this procedure to select and delete allocation tables based on various criteria (such as the purchasing organization or the status). How often you delete allocation tables depends on the volume of data in your system.

If you send stores notifications for allocation tables, the system generates message status records which also have to be deleted. A distinction is made between:

The system generates a single message record for every combination of article and site for which a notification is sent to the stores. When an allocation table is deleted, the system deletes the relevant single message records.

The system generates group messages when messages are bundled together for a site (see also Creating Notifications of Stock Allocation). Since group message records can refer to a number of allocation tables, these records have to be deleted by running a separate program. A record can be deleted once all the single message records have been removed from the system.

Procedure

Deleting Allocation Tables

  1. Choose the Delete Allocation Table screen.
  2. In the Deletion for frame, choose Alloc tbl.
  3. Enter the required criteria for selecting the allocation tables to be deleted, for example purchasing organization, purchasing group or the allocation table number
  4. Enter the status of allocation tables you want to select. A distinction is made between:

An allocation table has this status if no follow-on documents have been generated for it. This type of deletion is used in cases where you have just created an allocation table but you realize immediately that it is not required (because the data entered was not correct or the allocation is not needed after all) and can be deleted.

An allocation table has this status if all follow-on documents have been generated for it.
