Selective Allocation

This page allows you to make a selective allocation of an item across work orders to which the item has been allocated. Tell me more.

Select the “Selective Allocation” link from the bottom of the “Allocate Parts” page.

The “Selective Allocation” page appears.

Enter the following fields to selectively allocate an item other than the item selected in the previous page:

Item	The item that you want to selectively allocate (Alphanumeric, 32). Help facility available.
Variant	The variant of the item (Alphanumeric, 8).
	Press <Enter>.
	The description of the “Item-Variant” combination is displayed alongside.

Enter the following field:

Item Status

The status of the item that must be selectively allocated (Alphanumeric, 25). Ensure that the status is already defined in the ”Item Administration” business component of Ramco Corporate Solutions.

The system retrieves the work orders for which the item has been allocated in the “Allocation Details” multiline:

WO	The work order for which the item has been allocated.
Task	If the item has been allocated for a task, the system displays the task here.
Problem Qty.	The problem quantity.

Enter the following fields in the multiline:

Remove Qty.	The quantity that must be removed from being allocated (Decimal). Ensure that the quantity entered here is not more than the quantity displayed in the “Reserve Qty.” field.
Add Qty.	The quantity that must be additionally allocated (Decimal).

Note: You can enter either the “Remove Qty.” field or the “Add Qty.” field.

Allocation Method	Use the drop-down list box to select the allocation method. The system provides the following options:
	Max. Bin Level – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock from the bin with maximum stock.
	Min. Bin Level – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock from the bin with minimum stock.
	LIFO – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock, which has arrived last in the warehouse.
	FIFO – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock, which has arrived first in the warehouse.
	Latest Expiry – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock that has the latest expiry date.
	Earliest Expiry – Select this option if you wish to allocate stock that has the earliest expiry date.

The system displays the following fields:

Allocated Qty.	The quantity that was already allocated.
UOM	The unit of measurement of the spare part.
Warehouse	The warehouse from which the item is allocated.
Free Stock	The stock that is free to be allocated to the work order.
Sch. Start Date	The date on which the work order is scheduled to start.
WO Status	The status of the work order.
Task Status	The status of the task.
WO Desc.	The description of the work order.
Task Desc.	The description of the task.

Click the “Save Allocation Details” pushbutton to save the allocations done.

The system does the following:

If a quantity is entered in the “Remove Qty.” field in the multiline, the system reduces this quantity from the already reserved quantity for the item and refreshes the “Reserve Qty.” field in the multiline.
If a quantity is entered in the “Add Qty.” field, the system adds the quantity to the already allocated quantity.

Selectively allocating spare parts – An overview

This page allows you to make a selective allocation of an item across work orders to which the item has been allocated. You can selectively allocate the item that you have selected in the “Allocate Parts” page. You can also enter an item directly in this page and allocate it selectively across work orders to which the item has been assigned.

The system retrieves all the work orders to which the item has been allocated in the multiline. You can then remove quantities of the item from one work order and allocate it for another work order. The system automatically adds or reduces the allocated quantity of the item that is required for carrying out the work order.
