RE: JBA Allocations

We use this functionality to allow certain types of suspended orders to
allocate inventory.  VAT is just poor wording for a field used as a "flag"
for various options.  I do believe this one is even documented in Infobase.
Note that in our system, version 3.5.0 the field used is VATC15 and not
VCOD15 and we just use a '1'.  We did modify our system to not allocate
inventory on individual lines that are not priced (and we allocate all
priced lines).

Subject: JBA Allocations


We Have a need here that if the Order is suspended like Credit Limit
Exceeded for Customer etc. we do not want the order to loose its
allocations/reservations/Back to backs etc. I was checking AO005 program and
found that if we set up the TAX Code (VCOD15) in the descriptions file
(INP15) for that suspension code (Parameter Type - SUSP) to a '1  ' then the
program does not call AO013 to make it loose its allocations. I tried this
feature in test and it worked like a charm. But I still want a second
opinion because what has a vat code to do with allocations????.
I also want to know what happens if I have a '2   ' in the VCOD15 field
because the program also checks for a value of '2'
Thanks in advance for your Help
