RE: Allocations on Order Picking Slips -- BPCS-L

Glen,

Here is something you may want to check:

One requirement for BPCS to automatically allocate is the allocations
required flag in the customer order line.  It must be set to 1 to require
allocations.  A quick way to see what is the value...pull up the order line
in ORD720 Online Allocation program.  If the allocations required flag is 0
for the order in question that is the reason no allocations were created
during pick release.

The value for this field when an order is created is controlled by a similar
flag in either the item or item/facility planning record (the System
Parameters settings determine at which level the flag is checked).

Hope this helps.

Subject: Allocations on Order Picking Slips


Please could someone please supply me with some advise or help on the
following problem:

I capture an order for products on a Normal Warehouse which has sufficient
stock available to supply. When I do Pick Release and select '1' to
Allocate the stock and use F15 (Release by Line) my picking slips don't
show any allocations or locations even thou I have more than enough stock.
The warehouse and it's locations are allocateable and the locatiosn are
setup as Pick Locations. If I try the same order on our Test Environment
then the Allocations and Locations print on the Pick Slip. I have double
checked that all the objects are the same between the 2 environments (they
are on the same machine and share the same object libraries). I suppect it
has something to do with a data problem or a setup somewhere that I have
missed as I have compared the setups between the 2 Environments.
