Re: BPCS Locations

When an order is placed against a particular warehouse, that warehouse is
said to have "soft" allocations against it. By soft, it means that a
requirement is placed against the warehouse but not to any specific
location. This is the IWI (warehouse inventory file).

Once the order is allocated with specific locations in the warehouse to
fulfill the order, it is said to be "hard" allocated. This is in the ILI or
location inventory file.

These files may at times get out of synch, thus the importance of the reset
programs.

Hi guys,

Need help with soft & hard locations in BPCS.  What  do these terms
identify and where are they located within BPCS  database.


Thank you,

Oludare
