Re: Customer Allocations - Incorrect Display????

["naomiruben" <naomiruben@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dick Hi again!

You are sure you are not allocating the goods at Pick Release or through
manual allocations or through automatic allocations correct?.

Today I will be able to test it in 6.04 and I will let you know if it does
the same thing, but I doubt it.

Talk (write) to you later.

Regards,

Ruben.
