This activity allows you to hard allocate the input Items of a work order by reserving the items. Hard allocation is possible for work orders in “Firm” or “Release” status. To hard allocate items, work order no can be entered or retrieved using the help facility. The system retrieves the corresponding work order details in the header along with the all input items, PS seq, total quantity, pending allocated quantity, issued, consumed and returned quantity details in the multiline.
You can choose the appropriate allocation method based on which the Input items have to be hard allocated. If an input item should be fully allocated, the allocated quantity can be entered with the value of the total quantity. If you wish to make partial allocation of items, you can specify the allocated quantity in the multiline and set the partial allocation field to “yes”. On furnishing the required details, you can select the rows in the multiline and hard allocate the items. *The allocated quantity is also checked against the pending allocation quantity and physical stock available in the inventory. Accordingly, the system updates the pending allocated quantity.

If “Minimum Zone-Bin” allocation method is selected, item is allocated from the zone-bin that has the minimum amount of stock. If “Maximum Zone-Bin” allocation method is selected, item is allocated from the zone-bin that has the maximum amount of stock. If “Earliest Expiry Date” allocation method is selected, allocation is done based on the expiry date of the lot.
