This activity is used to enter distribution allocations. Distribution allocations allow you to move multiple parts to multiple sites from a particular supply site. The selection of parts and sites required for an allocation will be fetched from the selected assortment and site cluster. Once the required data has been entered, the allocation can be released to either just create distribution orders, or to create and release distribution orders. When the distribution orders are released, a subsequent creation of customer orders and purchase orders will happen.
The distribution allocation number is automatically assigned by the system when you save the header. The system uses the distribution allocation prefix and number specified on the Coordinator Groups page to produce the allocation number.
