Excerpt

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

  • Inventory
Transactions: The
  • transactions where the quantity of a Lot Tracked line item where the item has been saved
without
  • with a Production Batch and/or Warehouse Lot (if the Site is Warehouse Lot tracked).
For
  •  For example, if 10 Cases were entered on a Receipt line item and either the Production Batch or Warehouse Lot was
unassigned
  • assigned, the
Committed
  • Allocated (+) balance for that transaction would be 10.
Sales Transactions: The value of [Ordered] - [Allocated] quantity of a line item
  • Production Orders where the quantity of an Output line item has been saved without a Production Batch and/or Warehouse Lot (if the Site is Warehouse Lot tracked). For example,
if 15
  • if 10 Cases were
being returned and 3 have been allocated, the Committed (+) balance would be 12.The following unposted transaction lines can be included in
  • entered on the transaction and either the Production Batch or Warehouse Lot was unassigned, the Allocated (+) balance
.
  • Inventory Adjustments with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Production Outputs (things you create during production) with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Production Inputs (things you consume during production) with (-) quantities and incomplete Lot Information. This would be an unusual transaction only used to put back items previously issued to Production.
  • Inventory Receipts with (+) quantities and incomplete Lot Information. 
  • Inventory Transfers with an incomplete Lot Information (when viewed from for the receiving Site). 
  • Sales Orders with (-) ordered quantities 
  • Sales Returns with (+) quantities - not sure if this even allowed
(lightbulb) Note that
  • for that transaction would be 10.
  • Sales Returns where the line item has an allocated quantity.

Note: each of the Inventory Transactions can be conditionally included/excluded from the Committed 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 Committed Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, if they are set to "No", they will not be included in Committed Allocated so they will not update Available balances.

Additionally, for Production Order Outputs, these can be conditionally included/excluded from the Allocated balances based on the "First status to include Production Order Outputs in Available balances" Inventory Preference. If the transaction is set to a status equal to or greater than the Preference value, and is not in a status of Closed and not set to "Do Not Include", it will be included in Allocated balances and used to update the Available balances, otherwise if the status is set to a value less than the Preference value, it will not be included in Allocated so they will not update Available balances.
