Buffer Allocation

Buffer Allocation

The Buffer Allocation module allows you to reallocate stock to the orders you want to give stock to. 

The module can be found:

INVENTORY --> USER INVENTORY PROGRAMS --> BUFFER ALLOCATION


Enter the sales order that is holding stock, in the Order No field, or click on the Magnifying glass to find the Order No.

Click Enter and select the relevant part code from the list, then click "Reallocate". 


This will display the Reallocate screen with all sales orders that have the selected part code on backorder. 

You can then allocate the correct quantity to the orders you want to give stock to.

Select the Order from the list  and click on the menu option "Allocate" which will allow you to enter a qty.

Clicking on " Full Allocate" will allocate the full ordered qty for the line.

Once you have allocated the stock to all the backorders, click "commit" to complete the action.

 


The Shipped Qty column for the selected Stock Code is then updated with the new qty.



To release multiple orders and move the status to Ready for Picking you can click on the "Release Orders" button.

This will display the Order Release Selection Criteria screen where you need to enter the required information in the fields and enter through. 

This will then display the Order Release List where you can select:

  • " Release All Orders" to release all the orders in the list
  • or
  • "Release Current Orders" to release the selected tagged orders from the list.
