Could somebody provide the calculation the Mapics uses for allocations?
When looking at the order entry screen (Detail Item Entry) there is a field
called "Allocated" which is subtracted from "On Hand" to get an "Available"
number but I cannot figure out how the allocation is derived.

My assumption is:

            Allocated = Customer Orders + Mfg. Requirements + Safety
Requirement

However, using that equation I cannot get the number to foot.

Your input is appreciated,
