Allocation Change Orders (whinh1120m000)

Use this session to view and maintain allocation change orders.

Changing an inventory allocation is required, for example, if the order for which the inventory is allocated is cancelled.

To change the allocated-to inventory, you must change the specification for a particular item quantity in a warehouse. The items can be contained in handling units.

In the current session, header data is entered such as the change order ID, the warehouse, and the handling unit (if present).

In the Allocation Change Orders (whinh1120m000) session, details such as the item, item quantity, and the specification to be replaced and the new specification are inserted.

If you enter a handling unit in the current session, LN generates a change order line for each handling unit in the handling unit structure that has a specification.

To make the allocation changes effective, you must process the change order. On the appropriate menu, options are available to process change orders by batch or individually.
