Re: Pending Manufacturing Allocations

[ Converted text/html to text/plain ]
Pending allocations are supposed to keep track of the materials required for
manufacturing orders that have been entered (in batches) and not yet released.
This is in support of the ability to check material availability in the order
entry batch (B/M = NOW). When the orders are released, these become "real"
allocations and the pending allocations are supposed to be removed.
Could there be some MO entry batches sitting around in your system that have
never been released? If the audit is recreating these pending allocations,
I've got to believe there's something in the order entry batch file that's the
source.
Good luck.

Hi Group,
I have a situation where an item shows a quantity of 8,469 for Pending
Manufacturing Allocations on the IM Inquiry screens. There's no way we
actually have that huge quantity allocated for this item. I can't see
the detail that makes up that number anywhere. I've queried every file I
can think of and can't find that qty for that item (nothing remotely close
to that total). I zeroed out the PALOC field in ITEMBL and then ran the
"Allocation Quantity Audit" on the IM File Maintenance menu. After the
audit was done, the 8,469 is back in PALOC!! Help!! Does anyone know
what file(s)/field(s) I need to query in order to find that Pending
Allocation Qty? I've looked in MOMAST, MODATA, SLALLO, ORDATAM,
ORDATAC,
ORDATM(all members), ORDATC(all members), MBCDREP.
Thanks in advance,
