BPCS 405CD Allocations

[WallyC@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Hello All,

We have noticed a peculiar behavior in the way BPCS allocates lot-controlled
inventory to backorders:

Example: We have a customer order with the request date equal to 1/20/2004
for PartX.

Lot Q of PartX is received into inventory from a shop order on 1/22/2004.

BPCS will not auto-allocate the lot to the order. When manually allocating,
the warning message is: Lot Availability Date is greater than Order Date.

My questions:

Is this vanilla? (it looks like it from the code).

Has anybody else solved this problem short of a mod to the allocations
programs?

If it took a mod, what approach was used, what pitfalls are gotcha's are
lurking?
