Thank you Les,
my problem is 'exactly' as you've described. Sometimes the operator
performs a lot allocation in Order Entry, and then in the warehouse, some
other deduct the quantity from the same lot / location, and INV500 allows
it without a WARNING message.

Are you suggesting to solve the problem by modifying the program?

I couldn't believe that there is no natural way in BPCS that allow me
control this Lot Allocation. Don't you know if something in transaction
setting could make BPCS works in another way?  I really don't want to
modify the source program.

Thanks
Claudia

Claudia:

For your condition, INV510 contains logic to display the warning message 
UMI3560:  

"WARNING - transaction > qty avail. due to existing alloc., F13 to override."

This logic is NOT found in INV500 and there is NO "natural way" for you to 
control this situation.  I am suggesting that you modify INV500 to provide 
this edit check.  This change is straightforward.

Please contact me directly if you would like assistance in performing this 
modification.

Thanks.
