Allocating orders

Product can be allocated to fill orders in the following ways:

  • Individual orders can be allocated from the Shipment Order screen by selecting Actions > Allocate after entering the shipment order.
  • Multiple orders can be allocated using an order selection model. This process enables the batch allocation feature, which is discussed later in this section.
  • You can allocate the order(s) and create an Allocation Trace log by selecting Actions > Allocation Trace. Warehouse personnel can view the log to see the steps Pre-allocation and Allocation went through to obtain the results.
  • Finally, orders can be allocated from the Wave screen. See the Infor WMS Wave Planning User Guide for additional information on creating and allocating waves.

The allocation process is strongly affected by the application configuration upon installation.
