This process allows you to generate documents that follow on from the allocation table.

Follow-on document generation allows you to have the system create documents for the following business transactions and events required as a result of the stock allocation process:

• Third-party orders placed by stores with an external vendor
• Purchase orders placed by sites with a distribution center
• Allocations out of distribution center stock

You define which follow-on documents should be generated.

You can select the criteria the system should use to generate separate documents. Line items in worklists are grouped together in purchase orders, warehouse orders or deliveries, depending on the Customizing settings you have made.

1. For a complete allocation table
2. For individual items in an allocation table
3. Using a worklist and selection criteria.

2. You decide which worklist you want to work on - purchase orders placed with external vendors, warehouse orders or deliveries.
3. In the case of deliveries, you define the selection parameters (such as the purchasing group, the distribution center and so on).
4. You select the line items for which documents are to be generated.
5. The system generates the follow-on documents and updates the allocation tables and worklists concerned.
6. You decide if you want to process further follow-on documents for the worklist selected. If you do, you return to step 4.
