Allocation and hard pegging in Order Management

Allocation and hard pegging in Infor LN FP4

Allocation and hard pegging is a new functionality in Infor LN FP4.

With this new functionality you can execute the following:

  • Allocate inventory to specific demand orders.
  • Create hard pegs between specific demand orders and existing or planned forms of supply.
  • Create and hard peg new supply orders, if required.

If this functionality is set up for a company, specifications are used to match supply and demand. For more information, refer to Demand pegging overview.

To allocate inventory for sales orders and schedules

If the allocation and hard pegging functionality is used in a company, when sales orders or schedules are created, inventory is allocated automatically. This means that the sales order/schedule is considered as a demand for which a matching supply must be found, which must then be allocated. Specifications are linked to these orders/schedules.

To hard peg supply purchase orders and schedules for demand orders

A purchase order/schedule is a source of supply for items. By means of the specification, items that you purchase can be hard pegged to a demand order. During receipt of the item, the specification characteristics of the hard pegged purchase order/schedule are copied to the inventory record, which allocates this inventory to the specific demand.

For more information, refer to Demand pegged supply orders.
