Allocations in SAP Retail Store 

Use

This function enables you to display allocation tables for specific stores and enter replies within SAP Retail Store. It is used for the following purposes:

·        To provide information on existing allocation tables for a store

As a result, the head office does not have to provide information about the allocations in writing or using IDocs (allocation table notifications).

·        To report quantities requested in allocations

Changes can be made as long as the confirmation date is not exceeded. As a result, the store does not have to inform the head office of its requested quantities in writing or using IDocs. This also provides the store with an easy way of changing requested quantities that have already been entered, and as a result quickly react to any changes that may have been made to planning data.
