Re: Stock Allocation

We are now on BPCS 405 CD

Ancient/36 version of INV500 did have the "feature" of refusing transactions 
that drove allocations negative & we were overjoyed when SSA took that out, 
but I can see that different SSA clients will want different things, so the 
rules should be in SYS800 ... like ours have a setting of YES to allow issue 
of non-allocated components to shop orders ... and when we are shipping 
against customer orders, there is a warning before driving stuff negative & 
it allows us to do so.

It should be up to management which scenarios we want to be able to drive 
negative without hassling the users to what degree & system parameters should 
have flexibile options.
