Re: Customer Allocations - Incorrect Display???? -- BPCS-L

Dick Hi!

I was thinking about something else when I answered your previous e-mail and
I made a mistake.

If it has been allocated or not should not make a difference, the total
quantity allocated should be there as long as you did not do Pick Confirm.

I did try it out in 6.04 and it works as expected.  I pick confirmed a
couple of orders and it did not reduce my total quantity allocated.

So, or you have found a major bug in 6.1 (which I doubt) or you are doing
something special.  I suggest you look at the status of the line order, if
it is 10000 or 01000 and the quantity is not in the total allocated you have
found a bug.  If it is 00100 or 00010 or 00001, somebody is pick confirming
those orders.

Regards,

Ruben.
