Function documentationOrder Allocation Run Workbench Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

The order allocation run workbench is used to view and manage allocations performed by order allocation run (online and background). It displays the stock allocation details (for example, which quantities are reserved, fixed, on delivery or open) at different levels. In combination with Allocation Against Future Receipts, the ARun Workbench provides early visibility at the complete order level so that you can spot delivery problems and respond appropriately.

You can display and edit the results of a saved allocation run using ARun Workbench. You can also use log rules to subsequently check where the log files (containing exceptions) for ARun are saved in the database.

Integration

You can use the ARun Workbench to manually change or reset the results of the allocation run. In this way, the system reacts to a changed stock and requirements situation at any time after the allocation run. You can change undesired allocation and deallocation results.

Prerequisites

  • You have activated the business function Fashion_01 for SAP Fashion Management.

  • You have made the necessary settings in Customizing for ARun under   Logistics - General   SAP Fashion Management   Order Allocation Run   Order Allocation Run Workbench   Maintain ARun Workbench Type  .

Features

You can define an ARun Workbench type for the applications areas Assignments and Requirements. When you select Assignments, the allocated orders are displayed on the result screen of ARun Workbench. When you select Requirements, both allocated orders and open requirements are displayed in the list of allocation results.

You can use ARun Workbench to perform the following functions for assignments and requirements application areas:

  • Allocate (For requirements only): You can specify the quantity that needs to be allocated. The system allocates stock using the FIFO (first in first out) logic. During the allocation, the system applies the allocation and stock selection rules that have been defined in the Customizing activity Maintain ARun Workbench Types (  Logistics - General   SAP Fashion Management   Order Allocation Run (ARun)   ARun Workbench   Maintain ARun Workbench Types  .

    You can release the allocated orders manually to change the status to F (Fixed).

  • Deallocate: You can specify the quantity that needs to be deallocated from an already allocated order, and perform deallocation.

  • Release: You can manually change the status of released orders to the status F (Fixed).

  • Block: You can block an order by changing the status F (Fixed) to the status H (Fixed and Hold) or R (Reserved).

You can use ARun Workbench to create selection reports for assignments and requirements. You can do this in Customizing under   Logistics - General   SAP Fashion Management   Order Allocation Run   Order Allocation Run Workbench   ARun Workbench Control   Generate Selection Reports  . See Creating Custom Reports in Order Allocation Run Workbench for more information about generating selection reports.

Optionally, you can also save the success messages issued during an ARun Workbench session, in the database table. You can do this in Customizing under   Logistics - General   SAP Fashion Management   Order Allocation Run   Order Allocation Run Workbench   Maintain ARun Workbench Type  .

You can use an ARun Workbench type to control which parameters are used by the system to select the allocations and which data is displayed on the result screen. This allows you to predefine an ARun Workbench with individual settings for different processes and users, and to adjust them to meet the respective requirements.
