Overview

Excerpt

The system allows procurement users to perform a mass allocation from the Bulk Purchasing Mode using Future Open Market inventory. This process works for both Prebook lines in units and boxes.

This article explains how to do it.

Instructions

Ui steps
sizesmall
Ui step

Go to Purchase Orders>>Add PO.

Ui step

The system will open the Bulk Purchasing Mode.

Ui step

Search for the Prebook (s) to be allocated and selected them. The truck date of the Prebook cannot be in the past

Ui step

Click on the Mass Future Allocations button or use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+ shift + m.

Ui step

The system will open the Allocation Process window. The system allows to apply some restrictions for this process:

  • Require product vendor to match prebook Prebook vendor: Checking this option, the system will require the Prebook vendor (setup either in the Bulk Purchasing Mode or in the Prebook) to be identical to the Vendor of the product to allocated. Leaving this field empty, the system will first search for products available for the vendor enetered in the Prebook, and in case the system cannnot find any, the system will search for any vendor. If this option is unchecked and the Prebook does not have any vendor, the system will randomly search for products available coming from any vendor.
  • Use exact match for the breakdowns: for lines in boxes with breakdown, it must be an exact match to breakdown on the Future Sales box, or the line will remain unallocated. In the case of lines in units, the system will search for any product within a breakdown to make the allocation.
  • Require product mark code to match the prebook mark code: the future sales product mark code must match the mark code of the Prebook line.

If you do not wish to apply any restriction, leave the checks empty and click on Continue.

Ui step

The allocation process will begin and may take a while. If the entire Prebook line is fulfilled, it will no longer appear on the Bulk Purchasing Mode screen. The lines in the Purchase Order used to fulfill the requirement will be assigned to the customer of the Prebook.
