Excerpt

The Allocated (+) balance is the quantity, that has been allocated, on an open transaction containing incoming product. The Allocated (+) balance increases the Available balance. Unlike Committed (+) which represents "requested" balances, Allocated (+) represents "assigned" balances. For example, a Customer may order 15 Cases and only be shipped 10. The 10 Cases would signify what was actually shipped. The Allocated (+) balance is comprised of:

  • Inventory transactions where the quantity of a Lot Tracked line item where the item has been saved with a Production Batch and/or Warehouse Lot (if the Site is Warehouse Lot tracked). For example, if 10 Cases were entered on a Receipt line item and either the Production Batch or Warehouse Lot was assigned, the Allocated (+) balance for that transaction would be 10.
  • Sales Returns where the line item has an allocated quantity.


The following unposted transaction lines can be included in the Allocated (+) balance.

  • Inventory Adjustments with (+) quantities and complete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Production Outputs (things you create during production) with (+) quantities and complete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Production Inputs (things you consume during production) with (-) quantities and complete Lot Information. This would be an unusual transaction only used to put back items previously issued to Production.
  • Inventory Receipts with (+) quantities and complete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Transfers with complete Lot Information (when viewed from for the receiving Site). 
  • Sales Orders with (-) allocated quantities 
  • Sales Returns with (+) allocated quantities 

(lightbulb) Note that Note: each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "Include open ### transactions in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the preference are set to "Yes", they will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances.
