When allocation tables are created for which request notifications are to be created, a number of options exist for the generation of follow-on documents. These options are controlled by the item category of each allocation table item:

Features

Follow-on documents containing the quantities planned by head office can be generated without having to wait on replies from the sites. This means that change documents may have to be created once the sites have replied.

Follow-on documents are only created for a site after the notification and reply procedure is complete. Follow-on documents are then created on a site-by-site basis.

Follow-on documents are only created for all the sites after the notification and reply procedure for an allocation table item is complete for all sites in the item. Follow-on documents are only created after all sites that can or must reply have actually replied.
