Allocation & Issue Rules

SOLVED

Please HELP!

Problem: Currently, we can't allocate sales orders at a detailed level according to "unit of measure". At one point in a selling season we have sales orders for items that ship parcel (eaches) & those same items also ship LTL/ Full truckload (case-packs& pallets) Those items are being detail allocated from the same area in our warehouse with the same unit of measure (eaches). As of now, we buy, sell, and store all in eaches.

Future State: Sales orders can be allocated at a case-pack level (qty. of 6) & a eaches (qty. of 5 or less) level from two different areas of the warehouse.

Does anyone have any experience with this problem or can direct me?

    Hi 

    we can't allocate sales orders at a detailed level according to "unit of measure"

    Do you mean you have a technical error in your application when trying to detail allocate or simply that the detailed allocation is sucessfull but doesn't consider the packing unit today?

    Our allocation at a detailed level allocates by eaches which is the only unit of measure we have allocating currently. We would like to allocate according to this rule. Casepacks which are qty's of 6 or higher would allocate from one location and eaches in qty's of 5 or less would allocate from a separate location in the warehouse

    Allocation rule can select stock lines depending on the unit. So if you are managing packing units in stock, then the sales unit entered in the line can be used to define if the system is allocating stock line in Eaches or in Casepacks. So if you wish to allocate stock lines in Eaches for sale order lines with a quantity lower than 5, then the user need to select Eaches as sales unit. Else, the user need to select casepacks as sales unit.

    You can as well select manually a specific location (local menu on the quantity sold field in the sales order line), to force the system to allocate on this location only.
