Rules for allocation

You define two kinds of rules for allocation: allocation method and allocation basis. The allocation method defines how inventory is allocated in the Warehouse application. You either allocate online (when the requisition is released) or in batch (when the batch program is run). The allocation basis defines the sequence in which items are allocated, either by priority or by date.

How do I allocate based on priority?

You allocate based on priority by defining a priority level for each application that requests inventory: Case Carts, Order Entry, Requisitions, and Production Order. A priority level of 1, on a scale of 1 to 99, receives the highest priority and is allocated inventory over another application with a lower priority.
