Requirements Check 

Use

With the aid of the checking rule for the exclusion of sales orders, you can exclude orders from the allocation, which you have already selected for an allocation run. This way you can prevent, for example, orders of credit blocked customers from getting the stock that should be used for solvent customers. There are different criteria and checks available for this.

Features

After you have decided which requirements the allocation run should access (for example, sales orders should be allocated), you can check these requirements for the following criteria:

·        Does the selected order have a credit block at header level?

·        Does the selected order have a delivery block at header level or item level?

·        Is the cancellation date of the entire order or of an individual item exceeded or are these dates reached in a certain number of days?

·        Are there items in the selected order whose materials do not belong to a valid season?

·        Has the maximum number of permitted partial deliveries been reached?

If these criteria should be checked, you must define the system reaction. A negative result of these checks can either lead to a termination of the allocation run or to an information or warning message. Both messages are only available if the allocation run is carried out online.  If the system reaction is defined as an error, the orders or items that have passed one of the above mentioned checks participates in the further steps of the allocation run. That means they cannot be allocated in this allocation run.

Combine the above-mentioned checks in a checking rule in Customizing. The result of failed checks can be saved in a log file. The failure of a checking rule is displayed in the form of traffic lights in the allocation list in the online application of the allocation run.
