Allocate Quantity
Explanation
This activity is used to allocate quantities of parts to the destination
sites in a distribution allocation. Quantities can be allocated either manually
using site clusters and nodes or by using balance demand.
When allocating manually, you specify quantities for each part whereas for
site clusters you specify quantities that are set for a particular site node.
Prerequisites
- Allocation lines must exist.
- If quantities are allocated by site cluster,
destination lines should be created using the site cluster entered in the
Site Cluster field.
System Effects
- Quantities will be allocated and displayed accordingly
on the upper and lower sections of the
Part Details tab.
