    The system starts allocating the remaining quantity from the first bin location in the table. If the remaining quantity is greater than the Total to Allocate quantity in the first bin location, the system allocates the rest from the second and the following bin locations.

    Note Note

    When you select any of the following five options, SAP Business One clears the current allocations and re-allocates the item from bin locations according to the method you select.

    End of the note.

  • Single Choice – The system allocates the item from bin locations using the single choice method.

    Single choice is a method of allocating items from bin locations when there is only one way of doing so. If there is more than one way to allocate the item, the single choice method is not effective.
