You must have generated a perishables planning list as described in The Perishables Planning Process and defined Allocation table as the processing method.

1. Using the information displayed in the perishables planning list, you obtain a snapshot of the current stock situation, the produce required and that on offer on the market.

For further information, see Determining Requirements for Perishables.

2. You enter the total quantity required of the articles you want to order.

If you need to negotiate with the vendors on the phone, you can have the system call the number directly. For further information, see Buying Perishable Produce Over the Phone.



For further processing, the system does not take the purchase prices from the perishables planning list but determines them during the allocation process.

3. You enter an allocation strategy and have the system determine the individual quantities for the recipients.

You can change these quantities as required. For further information, see Issue List.

4. You save the perishables planning list.
5. The system generates an allocation table.

If the system is not configured for follow-on documents to be generated automatically from allocation tables, you can process the allocation table created using the Allocation Table functions.

For further information, see Allocation Table Processing.

6. If the system is not configured for follow-on documents to be generated automatically from allocation tables, you trigger follow-on document generation manually.

For further information, see Allocation Table Follow-On Document Generation.

7. The system generates follow-on documents for the allocation tables.
